Warren Spector, the former co-president of Bear Stearns Cos., will help students pay tuition for a “unique and intense education” at St. John’s College -- to the tune of $25 million.

Spector and Ronald Fielding, a former top-performing municipal bond fund manager, each donated $25 million to their alma mater to support academics, financial aid and career services. St. John’s, a private liberal arts college with a combined student enrollment of less than 1,000, has campuses in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Annapolis, Maryland.
