Thirteen members of Frank Whiteman’s family tree attended Monmouth College, including four children who enrolled in the classes of 1927 through 1930. The first of that group was Wendell Whiteman and, like his father, Wendell also sent his children to Monmouth, with three sons graduating. Whiteman family members have served a total of 35 years on the college’s board of trustees and received two Distinguished Service awards. Gifts from the family have funded the Hall of Achievement, the Whiteman Memorial Lecture series and seven scholarships. Family members who attended the ceremony were Barbara Whiteman Garland ’49, Don Whiteman ’49, Ralph Whiteman ’52, Dick Whiteman ’64, Harriett Southerlan Whiteman ’65 and Dave Whiteman ’66.

“Much of their time, talents and treasures have been given on behalf of Monmouth College, and this place would not be the same without them,” said Ditzler.
