Law building named
after oil millionaire
The UNL College of Law building on East Campus will
have a name soon because of action last Saturday by the
NU Board of Regents.
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. The
Omaha native is a 1931 graduate of the NU law school.
After graduation he practiced in Nebraska for 10 years
and now is a senior partner in a Los Angeles law firm.
