Ex-Raytheon CEO Gives Archives To Mass. School

WENHAM, Mass. (AP) — The former chief executive of Raytheon has donated his archives to Gordon College and has established a $100,000 scholarship at the school on Boston's North Shore.

The archives span the 42 years that Thomas Phillips spent with the company from 1948 to 1991. They includes speeches, letters, articles and photographs taken of Phillips with five U.S. presidents.

The collection also includes an original Amana microwave oven, which was the product of technology developed by Raytheon, and a model of a Hawk guided missile, first produced by the company in the 1950s.

Phillips, a longtime trustee at Gordon College in Wenham, created the scholarship for women or minority students who major in science, technology, engineering or math.
