Oakley and Rex Callicott received their formal education at Keene
Industrial Academy. The brothers had been blessed with the talent of
acquiring means (a strong family characteristic), and their first business
ventures were in cookie factories. Cookie sales were good and businesses
sprang up in several states. In later years, business interests
encompassed oil and gas production, ranching, banking, etc.
They have long been known for their philanthropy and faithfulness in
supporting the Lord’s work. A Christian education at SAC has been made
possible for many young people because Oakley and Rex supported college
industries, provided student aid, served on the board of Trustees, and
wholeheartedly supported the college.
