The board voted unanimously to name the building after Ross McCollum, a California oil millionaire. McCollum has donated nearly $500,000 to the University of Nebraska Foundation's fund drive and has made a com mitment to donate enough to complete a proposed addition to the college, according to John William Strong, law college dean. Strong said a proposed laboratory courtroom will be built separately from the present building when money becomes available. The building will be named after Sherman Seymour Welpton Jr., a prominent California trial lawyer and McCollum 's attorney. Federal and state courts will be invited to the court room to hold sessions for students to observe, Strong said. Welpton also has given money to the Law College.
