Sewickley Academy is a private school in a suburb of Pittsburgh.
A. Paul Knight was killed in Yellowstone National Park in 1985 at age of 22. A fund of nature conservation studies was created in his memory:
"The A. Paul Knight program was established in memory of Paul Knight of the class of 1986 who was killed in Yellowstone Park in June 1985. Paul was the son of Albert F. Knight, a 1951 graduate of the Washington and Lee Law School. Paul was an anthropology major who had worked with Professor John McDaniel on several field projects in archaeology. The program is designed to fund projects that further the protection of the environment or provide ecologically sound outdoor recreational opportunities. All Washington and students, in both the undergraduate and law schools are eligible to participate in the program as interns in the projects. Gifts from friends and classmates of Paul Knight, and effective management of the corpus of the endowment, have resulted in it grow to almost $200,000."
