PORTLAND, Ore.--Lewis & Clark College successfully completed the largest 
campaign of any private college in the Northwest to date. The final tally 
of $76.6 million exceeds the $75-million goal of the six-year, 
comprehensive Campaign for Lewis & Clark College and is three times the 
amount raised in the college's previous campaign. The effort touched every 
aspect of the college, endowing 11 professorships, major scholarship 
programs, and student-faculty collaborative research in science, arts and 
humanities, and social sciences. During the course of the campaign, the 
endowment tripled to more than $90 million. 
 
BILLINGS, Mont.--Rocky Mountain College (RMC) has been awarded a $400,000 
challenge grant from the Kresge Foundation for the renovation and expansion 
of the Educational Resource Center (ERC). In order for RMC to receive 
payment, it must raise the remaining $1.4 million of the $3.8 million 
project cost by March 1, 1998. The Educational Resource Center will be 
built as a part of the college's "To the Summit" capital campaign. "The 
Kresge Foundation challenge grant affords the college the opportunity to 
complete funding for the facility it most needs -- a state-of-the-art 
Educational Resource Center to replace a one-dimensional, inadequate 
library," said RMC president Dr. Arthur H. DeRosier Jr. "I could not be 
happier with the faith the Kresge folks have shown in us." 
 
KERRVILLE, Texas--The family of the late Floyd Cailloux has expressed its 
intention to fund construction of a new campus activity center at Schreiner 
College. The gift of $6 million is the largest in Schreiner's history. The 
Cailloux pledge follows the family's gift in June of $400,000 to pay for 
preliminary studies and architectural plans for the multipurpose facility. 
Cailloux, who died in January, was former chairman and senior chairman of 
the board of Keystone International, Inc., a global leader in the 
manufacturing and marketing of flow-control equipment that recently was 
acquired by Tyco International, Inc. Cailloux, who was a longtime supporter 
of Schreiner College and who served on its board of directors, moved to 
Kerrville, Texas, several years ago with his family.
