he Batten Scholars Program is an endowed multi-million dollar

gift of Frank Batten ’45, an emeritus member of The Culver

Educational Foundation Board of Trustees. Mr. Batten retired in 1998

after 41 years as chairman of Landmark Communications, Inc., a

privately held media company. Born in Virginia, he graduated from

Culver Military Academy as a captain of Company C. He received his

bachelor’s degree from the University of Virginia and an MBA from

Harvard Business School.

Beginning his career as a newspaper reporter and advertising

salesman with The Virginian-Pilot and Ledger-Star in Norfolk, Virginia,

Mr. Batten was named publisher in 1954 at the age of 27. He

expanded the newspaper company by constructing cable TV systems

in the South and Midwest in what later became TeleCable. Landmark

subsequently purchased 10 additional dailies and more than 100

non-daily papers. In 1982 it launched its first national medium, The

Weather Channel.

Long a champion of higher education, in 2003 Mr. Batten donated

more than $170 million to seven schools and educational institutions,

including an additional $20 million to Culver Academies. That gift is

being used to enhance the quality of teaching at Culver – for faculty

development, curriculum improvements and additions, acquisition

of new educational technologies, and other innovations expected to

improve students’ educational and developmental experiences.

In the fall of 2008, Frank and Jane Batten presented Culver with an

unparalleled opportunity in the form of the Batten Leadership Challenge. The Battens pledged up to $50 million in matching funds

for every penny donated to the Culver endowment through January

31, 2010. And then the Battens upped the ante by offering to also

match every gift to the Annual Fund from April 1, 2009, through

January 31, 2010, with a like amount to the endowment. When the

Batten Leadership Challenge ended on January 31, 2010, Culver

Academies had earned the entire $50 million in matching funds

available, an appropriate and lasting memorial to Frank Batten, who

died September 10, 2009.
