CORVALLIS (AP) — An alumnus of Oregon State University has given the school $2.6 million, primarily for the school’s Valley Library.
Oregon State says Franklin McEdward was a 1957 Oregon State graduate in electrical engineering who died last year at 82.
The school says the money represents the bulk of his estate and that he was a test engineeer for Boeing in Seattle for 40 years.
The money will fund a new professorship dedicated to undergraduate learning initiatives and a new reading room. Part of the bequest is intended for the the College of Engineering, naming a lounge in the Kelley Engineering Center.
