FRANKLIN, Ind. ? A private central Indiana liberal arts college says it has received a $4.2 million bequest from the estate of a longtime trustee.

Franklin College says the donation came from the estate of Fort Wayne native and longtime Indianapolis resident Effie Joan Behrens. She died in December 2010 after having been a Franklin College trustee since 1991.

The college says 75 percent of her bequest has gone to an endowment for student scholarships and the college's relationship with the American Baptist Church. The Franklin College Board of Trustees directed the remaining money to a capital campaign.

The board's also named the new college softball facility Behrens Field. The college says Behrens had played softball in her youth.

The college announced the donation last week.
