G. Atwood Manley '16 and the Manley Society
As a young boy, he turned the first shovel of dirt
at the construction of the Cole Reading Room, across the street
from the family's University Avenue residence. His devotion to
St. Lawrence continued long after his graduation in 1916. He
served as the first secretary of the Alumni Association, and
as an alumni trustee. He and his wife, Alice '17, were tireless
workers who gave of themselves to St. Lawrence and to the Canton
community.
Atwood Manley made life better for others by living
his beliefs as a volunteer, historian, idealist, donor, writer
and humanitarian. He was committed to passing on the values of
a St. Lawrence education to future generations. He
demonstrated his commitment to the University by making a gift
to St. Lawrence's Pooled Life Income Fund, establishing a trust
to benefit the University, and providing for St. Lawrence through
a bequest from his estate.
The University honored Atwood Manley by establishing
the Manley Society on June 1, 1990 to perpetuate his ideals of
service and philanthropy to his alma mater. The mission of the
Manley Society is to ensure a St. Lawrence education for future
Laurentians through deferred gift plans.
The Society recognizes and thanks those alumni,
parents and friends who have planned a deferred gift to benefit
St. Lawrence, and encourages others to consider similar plans.
The Society accomplishes its mission through education, service
and recognition programs for all who are interested in supporting
the future of St. Lawrence University.
