Tom Brady Once Saved This Tiny College. Can It Still Survive?
Just like a patient, a college has certain vital signs that show it might be in bad health. Two of those vital signs are a small endowment and low enrollment, and Pine Manor College just outside of Boston suffers from both. The college, founded in 1911, enjoys beautiful wooded acres in Chestnut Hill, just west of Boston. The campus is smaller after New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and his supermodel wife, Gisele Bündchen, bought a chunk of the land two years ago for their manse, a carriage house and yoga studio.
