sample quote

McPherson College is a small school situated in the small town of McPherson, Kansas. There are only about 800 undergraduate students enrolled there, and according to U.S. News and World Report’s rankings, about 85-percent of the people who apply to the school are accepted. What matters here though is that between 150 and 160 of those students are pursuing degrees in Automotive Restoration Technology. McPherson is the only four-year academic institution that confers a degree in that discipline. What also matters is that McPherson College may be about to get much wealthier.

An anonymous donor has promised up to $500 million dollars to the college matching other donations on a two-to-one basis. That means if McPherson raises $250 million (a lot) it will get another $500 million atop that and add $750 million to its endowment (a lot more).

Leno?

I wonder what level of donation it would take to get Berea College in KY to create an “Automotive Restoration Degree” ?

A good friend graduated there and opened up his own restoration/hotrod shop.

He does some of the best work I have ever seen.

if something like that was available to me 50 years or better ago, i may have pursued a college degree.
i'm glad something like that exists today, and there is someone that believes in it enough that a sizeable donation is well worthwhile.
i just have the "school of hard knocks" diploma...........

USA Today also did an article on the Auto Restoration college major

Berra College is a nice place, I have a lot of family in that area. My great aunt graduated from there and I believe she taught at the college as well. Beautiful campus, tons of history and amazing craftsmanship there. Auto restoration school would fit well there, I would love to see it happen.
