The Wakemans originally pledged the property in 1970. It was the final large gift to the 90th Anniversary Fund. The half-million dollars came to Bridgewater following the sale of the 242 acre farm in Manassas. One-eighth, roughly 30 acres, of the property had been deeded to Bridgewater College in 1980. Mr. and Mrs. Wakeman were recog­ nized by the College in November when Wakeman Hall, the new dormitory, was dedicated. The dormitory was named in their honor. Wakeman Hall, which re­ places Wardo Hall as a men's residence, was opened in January, 1981. President Geisert has announced that the money will be applied principally to dormitory debt retirement.

Enoch Brower and his wife, Hannah Wine Brower, had seven sons and four daughters. He was a minister in the Church of the Brethren and sent most of his children to Bridgewater College. Dora, his ninth child, graduated in 1896, a year before her father's death. Dora's two children, Horace and Marie, both graduated from Bridgewater. Horace is quite actively involved in the life of the college and serves as the Class Agent for the class of 1933. He made his career with the Transit Author­ ity of Washington, D. C. Now he and his wife live in the home they built near Mt. Solon, only a few miles from the B.C. campus. Horace's son, Ronald, graduated from Bridgewater in I 959. While at Bridge­ water, he met and married a classmate, Violet Siron. In the years following their graduation, they have remained ex­ tremely close to Bridgewater. Violet is a member of the Board of Trustees and serves as the Class Agent for her class. Barry Cox, Ron and Vi's eldest son, is a freshman this year. Their second son, Bradley, has been accepted and will be attending in 1982-83. Bridgewater is a tradition in many families.
