Houghton College getting a multi-sports complex on campus. Kim Pegula donating $12 million to get it going. (It's her alma mater if you didn't know).

 

Such nice people.

I know the ultimate goal is the Cup ... but in a way, I feel like we already won by getting Terry and Kim as owners

[K-9]

What, like oedipal and inferiority weren't enough? The burdens that poor man must suffer.

[SwampD]

as the founder and principal of the kim pegula adoration society, i would kindly ask that the thread title be changed to The Lovely and Gracious Kim Pegula Arranges for Gift to Houghton.

His college got $88 million and her college only $12 million? Interesting. ;)

And the lower part of the head line can mention that she also donated a new pair of binoculars to you.

 

 

And with this donation, I think it's time to push that idea of a donation to the shrader fund again.

Considering everything that happened at Penn State I don't think the timing is appropriate for Pegula to be writing checks to NAMBLA. :lol:

Wow. I can safely say that I look nothing like Marlon Brando.

nice. i will add: thanks to a high school buddy of mine who's with one of the team's principal corporate sponsors, i attended a function/friend-raiser where kim, but not terry (!!!), was present; i now have a picture of the two of us on my droid. mind you, my ugly ass is in the foreground and she's shown in profile and in the background, but still. it's like a kim pegula photobomb.

 

/contented sigh.

There are probably just over 1000 studunts at Houghton.

 

As colleges go it is probably the strictest religious school in WNY.

 

No alcohol, literal truth of scripture, no evolution, popular with homeschoolers, and the highest acceptance rate to Med school.

B**tch can drill her own Oil Wells if she wants to donate more!

 

TP has enough to pay for with Leino now

It is a nice gesture, it's also a tax shelter

Curious. I would assume to get into Med school one would have to accept and understand science, not religious wishful thinking.

It's not the strictest religious school in New York. There are a number of bible colleges that make Houghton look like a partying state school. Houghton is a school in the Wesleyan holiness tradition - not Christian fundamentalism. So while the lifestyle requirements are strict and the curriculum includes requirements in Christian theology, etc. it is not a fundamentalist school. If you look at their faculty roster in the natural sciences their PhDs came from mainstream secular universities. I have no doubt that evolution is taught at Houghton (one of my former students is a sophomore there). Now, are there probably a high percentage of students who reject it in favor of creationism? Probably. Are there faculty, perhaps even biology and chemistry faculty who question parts of the evolutionary theory? Probably.

 

I looked at Houghton when I was in high school (my mother and three aunts are all graduates of Houghton) and I opted to attend a similar conservative Christian school that offered a stronger curriculum in Physics and Computer Science. There I can tell you that modern Biology, Chemistry, and Physics were taught as rigorously and throughly as anywhere else - we were challenged to explore how what we were learning impacted our faith but never at the expense of the scientific pursuit.

There are plenty of schools like that. I don't think it's fair to generalize that a school doesn't teach science just because it's a religious school. I learned about evolution in a religious high school--and in both biology class and religion class. The nun who taught the religion class was very much in favor of an evolution-according-to-divine-plan theory, and that doesn't get in the way of science at all.
