A Kenyon Profile 1

IntroductionFounded in 1824 by Philander Chase, the first Episcopalbishop of Ohio, Kenyon is the oldest private college in thestate. Only the public Ohio, Miami, and Cincinnatiuniversities are older.

In the years before the Civil War, Kenyon rose toprominence by virtue of having educated a number ofleading statesmen. Among them were Edwin M. Stanton,Lincoln’s secretary of war, U.S. Supreme Court justicesDavid Davis and Stanley Matthews, and several U.S.representatives and senators. An additional measure offame came with the election in 1876 of Rutherford B.Hayes, valedictorian of the Class of 1842, as the nine-teenth president of the United States.

At the turn of the century, Kenyon was in the first yearsof the remarkable forty-one-year presidency of WilliamFoster Peirce. Despite several setbacks, Peirce was able toenlarge the student body and construct many of thecampus’s most attractive buildings.

In the middle years of the twentieth century, theCollege became known as a literary mecca. The KenyonReview, founded in 1939 by critic and poet John CroweRansom with the support of President Gordon KeithChalmers and his wife, poet Roberta Teale Swartz, quicklyassumed a leading position among literary journals.Alumni of that period include poets Robert Lowell ’40 andJames Wright ’52 and novelists E.L. Doctorow ’52 andWilliam Gass ’47.

As in much of higher education, the 1960s broughtgreat change to Kenyon. In 1969, following several yearsof study, the College admitted its first women students.Kenyon quickly reached parity in numbers of males andfemales, and the College now enjoys a small majority ofwomen students.

The start of a new century finds Kenyon in a position ofunprecedented strength. Through the generosity ofalumni, parents, and other benefactors, the College hasamassed an endowment of more than ten times the figureof just twenty years ago.

CampusComprising more than fifty buildings on about onethousand acres in Knox County, Ohio, Kenyon’s campushas been called one of the nation’s most beautiful. It isalso without doubt one of the most historic, with theentire campus, from Old Kenyon north to Bexley Hall, onthe National Register of Historic Places. Old Kenyonitself, whose designers included Charles Bulfinch ofFaneuil Hall fame, is considered the earliest CollegiateGothic building in America, dating to 1826.

Throughout the nineteenth and early twentiethcenturies, the College acquired a wealth of distinctivebuildings lining the nearly mile-long Middle Path. Notedarchitects whose work is represented include AbramGarfield, Alfred Granger (Class of 1887), Vincent Kling,Gordon Lloyd, Henry Roberts, Charles Schweinfurth, andWilliam Tinsley.

In the past twenty-five years, Kenyon has added suchimportant facilities as the Olin Library (1986), the MayerArt Center (1994), and the Taft Cottages (1994), anaward-winning group of four student residence halls forapartment-style living, designed by the Cambridge,Massachusetts, firm of Thompson and Rose.

The College’s most recent additions include severalbuildings by the distinguished architect Graham Gund ’63:Storer Hall (1999, music), Tomsich Hall (2000, chemis-try), Hayes Hall (2000, mathematics and physics), and theEaton Center, which houses the finance division. The$70-million Kenyon Athletic Center, with a broad rangeof venues for fitness and recreation, was dedicated in April2006. O’Connor House (2008) and Lentz House (2009)are home to classrooms and faculty offices. The Collegehas also added an NBBJ-designed educational facility at theBrown Family Environmental Center.

A new campus master plan, the first in ten years, wasapproved during the 2003-04 academic year. The plan,which will guide development for the next decade, wasprepared by Gund and his associates at the GundPartnership in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

DevelopmentDevelopmentDevelopmentDevelopmentDevelopmentIn October 2005, Kenyon’s Board of Trustees made themomentous decision to proceed with a new comprehen-sive fundraising effort. The $230-million campaign, with asignificant component—$24 million—dedicated to newand increased giving to the Kenyon Fund and KenyonParents Fund, is the largest ever undertaken at theinstitution.

The goals include an historic commitment of$126 million to the growth of the endowment, with anaspiration of doubling the current figure over the life of thefundraising effort. Endowed support initiatives focus onfaculty development and financial aid, as well as funds fordevelopment of international and local programs, amongother projects. The College is also continuing itscommitment to building the endowment of the KenyonReview and enhancing its support for the Philander ChaseCorporation.

Capital programs under the aegis of the campaigninclude an $80-million goal toward the development ofstudent residences, the construction of new instructionalfacilities for Kenyon’s art history and studio-art depart-ments, and the renovation of Peirce and Dempsey dininghalls (now complete).

After a phase focusing on identification of lead giftsprior, the campaign celebrated its public kickoff in June2007. Donors are being sought in areas of need deemed bythe trustees to be most essential to the College’s currentand future health. The trustee decisions were based onthe work of five planning groups, with members from theKenyon administration, faculty, and student body,focusing on admission and financial aid, art facilities,curricular and faculty development, residential and studentlife, and student citizenship and international program-ming. The primary areas of need are listed below.

Financial aid. Because the College takes seriously itscommitment to making a Kenyon education affordable tostudents who are accepted for admission, the largest shareof the endowed funds to be solicited in the new cam-paign—$70 million—will be dedicated to financial aid.This year, the College awarded financial aid totaling morethan $20 million, the largest item in its operating budget.New scholarship endowments, as well as additions toexisting funds, are essential for Kenyon as it endeavors tomeet the ever-increasing demand for financial aid.

Faculty development. The College makes every effortto remain competitive not only in faculty salaries but alsoin the development opportunities it offers. Facultydevelopment, which allows professors to improve theirskills and develop new areas of interest and expertise, isperhaps most important for the dividends it pays in theclassroom. During the campaign, Kenyon is seeking newfunds to endow chairs across the curriculum and tosupport the efforts of faculty members to maintain their

edge in academic, creative, and research pursuits. Alsobeing addressed are initiatives to enhance languageinstruction, encourage international- and local-studiesprograms, and endow the new Center for the Study ofAmerican Democracy to promote understanding ofcurrent issues from the perspective of the nation’sfounding documents.

Student residences. The College’s commitment toremaining a fully residential institution dictates thatstudent residences are a construction and renovationpriority for the campaign. Although the student body hasnot increased significantly, Kenyon continues to requireadditional facilities to meet the needs of its residentialprogram and to provide a wider range of attractive options.The College currently plans to construct new apartment-style housing in a group of buildings to be located on thenorth campus.

Art facilities. Now at some distance from Kenyon’sother academic enterprises, and in most cases in quartersnot adequately equipped for their needs, the studio-art andart-history programs require new facilities closer to thecampus core. The campaign seeks funds for buildings toaccommodate the programs and for programs to enhancetheir current curricular offerings. The facilities—the firstat the College to be designed specifically for art as it iscurrently practiced and taught—will provide gallery as wellas instructional and studio spaces in a central location.

To be constructed near the Kenyon libraries, the40,000-square-foot, three-level studio-art building willinclude large studio spaces for faculty members andstudents. Similarly situated in the campus core, the30,000-square-foot art-history and gallery building willfeature classrooms, an auditorium, and exhibition areas forKenyon’s annual programs of art shows and its growingpermanent collections.

Other initiatives. As part of the campaign, the Collegeis also addressing the needs of the Kenyon Review and thePhilander Chase Corporation. Although both entities aresemi-independent, with their own governing boards, theyremain inextricably linked with the College.

Founded in 1939, the Kenyon Review is one of thenation’s leading literary journals. During the campaign,the Review seeks to raise $5 million to endow themagazine’s editorship (much like a faculty chair), fundscholarships for its summer writing programs for bothyoung people and adults, and increase its endowment to asize sufficient to insure its long-term survival and provide itwith financial independence from the College. Theendowment currently exceeds $2.5 million.

Still in its first decade of operation, the Philander ChaseCorporation has as its mission the preservation of the ruralcharacter of the Kenyon campus and the village ofGambier. In keeping with that goal, the corporation hassecured conservation easements or titles to more thanseventeen hundred acres of previously endangered land inthe past five years. As part of the campaign, the corpora-tion seeks to raise $4 million in funds for acquisition ofeasements or titles on additional lands contiguous toexisting holdings or within view of the campus.

Recent projectsRenovation of Peirce and Dempsey halls. Now eightyyears old, Kenyon’s Peirce Hall had changed little over thedecades. Dempsey Hall, completed in 1964, had receivedprimarily cosmetic attention since its initial construction.Both facilities were in need of improvements to address avariety of needs, ranging from a more commodious serveryfor the dining halls to handicap access throughout thebuildings.

A thorough remodeling and reconstruction of Peirceand Dempsey halls began in the summer of 2006 underthe direction of architect Graham Gund ’63 and hiscolleagues at the Gund Partnership in Cambridge,Massachusetts. While care was taken to preserve thedistinctive architecture and atmosphere of Peirce Hall, thebuilding was outfitted with passenger and service elevatorsas well as restrooms on every floor. Dempsey Hall wasrebuilt from the ground up, creating larger dining roomson the main and ground levels and smaller dining roomsthat can be reserved for meetings or other gatherings.Reopened in 2008, the buildings share a much-expandedkitchen and servery, larger and more accessible preparationand storage areas, and a reconfigured service entrance thatallows deliveries to made from the rear.

Facilities for fitness, recreation, and athletics. Thelargest single project for which the College has ever soughtfunds is the Kenyon Athletic Center. This $70-millionfacility, dedicated in April 2006, addresses long-standingneeds within a single structure designed by the GundPartnership.

The 263,000-square-foot building, located on theformer site of Wertheimer Fieldhouse, includes TomsichArena for basketball and volleyball; a recreational gym-nasium available for use by non-varsity athletes; the 200-

meter Toan Track with six lanes and eight sprint lanes;the Jasper Tennis Center with four indoor courts, forrecreational and team use, with a spectator area; an aquaticcenter for recreational and team swimming with twenty-two lanes, a diving well, and a 350-seat spectator area;eight squash and four racquetball courts; the 12,000-square-foot Patterson Fitness Center, with more than twohundred pieces of equipment, for simultaneous use byteams and others; the Davis and Patton multipurposerooms for aerobics, dance, yoga, and other uses; the 120-seat Kahler Theater, designed for film screenings, lectures,and game-film reviews; locker-room facilities for hometeams and visitors and for recreational use; the Higleysports-medicine area for athletes and others; and officespace for coaches and other student-affairs staff members.

The project also entailed the refurbishment, completedin 2004, of the College’s football stadium, McBride Field,and the outdoor track-and-field venue, Wilder Track,which surrounds it. McBride Field was rebuilt with an all-weather, synthetic-grass surface.

An anonymous donor generously provided two giftstotaling $35 million for the project, and other contributorspledged an additional $8 million. The remainder of thecost was funded by gains on invested gifts.

Hillel endowment. Hillel, an international organizationfor Jewish students, is represented by an active chapter atKenyon, under the leadership of a full-time director. Morethan $1 million has already been contributed to anendowment created to support the group’s operations andactivities. The fundraising effort has a $2-million goal.

“Claiming Our Place.” In 2001, the Collegecompleted the largest fundraising effort in its history, the$100-million “Claiming Our Place” campaign. The finaltally exceeded the goal by more than $16 million.

The five-year comprehensive fundraising effort—whichincluded almost $16 million from the Kenyon Fund andKenyon Parents Fund for operating support—built severalmuch-needed facilities and added significantly to theCollege’s endowment.
