MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas State University graduate has left $17 million to the school to fund scholarships and recognition. The university announced Thursday that Wichita businessman Robert “Bob” Campbell graduated from Kansas State’s business college in 1950 and eventually opened Robert E. Campbell Oil and Gas Operations, which he operated for 56 years. The new scholarship funds set up in Campbell’s estate plan are in addition to a $1 million gift to the College of Business Administration in 2018. Campbell died in March 2021.
