  Kenyon College
Kenyon seeks to enlarge the College’s endowment, especially for faculty support and financial aid, and to reduce its dependency on tuition revenues.
Kenyon is now planning its next comprehensive campaign, which will address needs in financial aid, faculty development, and facilities, particularly for studio art, art history, and residential life.
The College’s annual-giving program, which provides essential operating funds, is divided between the Kenyon Fund for alumni and friends and the Kenyon Parents Fund — one of the most successful of its kind — for the parents of current and former students.

  PCDS - Kenyon College Admissions Dean Advocates Change   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Admissions Dean Jennifer Britz of Kenyon College opened her presentation to juniors and their parents on Feb. 2 by saying, "It's all going to be fine." She further reassured the audience by stating that 70 percent of applicants are accepted at their first-choice college.
She cautioned the audience to be skeptical about college "rankings" published in news magazines and other sources, which are typically based on factors that have nothing to do with educating students, such as the size of a college's endowment.
College acceptance is not a "prize," and parents should avoid proclaiming the list of prestigious colleges that accepted their student, particularly in the student's presence.
