N U donor,
Don L. Love
dies at home
Former Lincoln mayor
gave money for I wo
large residence halls
Donor of a -number of gifts to
the university of Nebraska and
other institutions, civic leader,
financier and politician, Mr. Don
L. Love died at his home in Lin
coln early Thursday morning after
a lengthy illness.
The 77 year ol 1 former Lincoln
mayor's most recent bequest to
the university was a gift of
545,000 on July 24, to be used in
the construction of a cooperative
residence hall for women on the
campus of the agricultural college.
Included rn the lint of his other
philanthropies is a sum of $55,000
given to the university in 1938 foi
the erection of Julia L. Love hall,
a women's residence on the cam
pus which will be used for the first
time this fall.
Appreciates Lincoln.
When asked some time ago his
reason for these donations to the
university, the Lincoln General
Hospital, and other institutions.
Love replied, "Nebraska and the
city of Lincoln have done much
for me and I am happy in being
able to show my appreciation in
this way. I have been here so long
and have so closely associated with
Chancellor Burnett and many fac
ulty members of former years,
that the University of Nebraska
seems more like my own univer
sity." Born in Janesville, Wisconsin, he
received his education at Baptist
university in Des Moines and at
the University of Iowa where he
was granted an A. B. degree in
1886. Later admitted to the bar,
he practiced in Kansas and then in
Nebraska, until 1919, when he be
gan devoting most of his time to
banking. Love served as mayor of
Lincoln from 1919 to 1921 and
again from 1929 to 1931.
Through liberal bequests of Don
L. Love, the second of the two
women's halls will be completed
on the campus of the agricultural
college early in 1941. The first of
his donations was for the erection
of a women's residence hall at the
campus in 1938 which will be used
for the first time this fall, and is
known as the Julia L. Love hall.
The new building, to be known
as Love Memorial hall, will have
two stories and a basement, a
brick construction, measuring 106
x 38 feet facing on Holdrege street
west of the Agricultural hall near
the arboretum.
Expressing appreciation of Mr.
Love's second large benefaction to
the university, Chancellor Boucher
said, "A hall of this kind, which
will provide facilities for coopera
tive self-help on the part of its
residents, is along the line of one
of the university's greatest needs,
and both the agricultural college
faculty and the administration are
highly pleased by Mr. Love's
gift."
46 share rooms.
Living quarters for 46 girls and
a housemother will be supplied in
the new residence. Two girls will
share each of the sleeping rooms
on the upper floors while, in
groups of six and o of four, they
will cooperate in the use of
kitchenette-dinettes located in the
basement. Facilities will also be
provided for recreation, laundry,
and storage.
Purpose of this arrangement,
according to university officials,
is to give students opportunity to
apply classroom information in
planning, preparing, and serving
their own meals. The students will
be at liberty to devise ways of
reducing living costs, and the pro
gram will allow for food supplies
which may be brought from their
homes.
"Unique as to arrangement and
privileges among residence halls in
colleges and universities of this
country, the new cooperative house
is the answer to investigations
which have been conducted for
some time by Miss Helen Hosp,
dean of women, and Miss Mar
garet Fedde, chairman of the
home economics department." said
Chancellor Boucher. "Mr. Love's
generosity allows the university to
alleviate a difficult housing prob
lem for women students in the
College of Agriculture."
Residence privileges in the new
building will be granted to deserv
ing women as scholarships issued
in the name of the donor. The
scholarship will be worth at least
$100 per year to the recipients
who will be selected by a com
mittee of the College of Agricul
ture faculty.

Dr. D. A. Worcester, chairman
of the department of educational
