In 1981 Babson established the Walter H. Carpenter Prize for Exceptional Contributions to Babson College. The prize is an annual award presented to an employee of the College who personifies those qualities which were so characteristic of Walter: a commitment to high standards in professional and personal life; outstanding service to the College over a period of years; and sensitivity and concern for students and colleagues.
