I am reminded of what happened at two other schools, Uof Texas at Austin
(where I work).  The art museum's name was changed after a major donation.
Then at my alma mater, U of North Texas, the experimental music hall
designed by and named after my teacher, Merrill Ellis, had its name
changed to accomodate a donor.

I take some small comfort knowing that when a more significant donation
comes along the dedications will change once again.
