REFERENCE AREA, SECOND LEVEL William /. Condon The second floor reference area was made possible through a generous gift from William J. Condon in honor of his father. Harold D. Condon, who graduated from the college in 1923. Bill, a 1961 agricultural economics graduate* began his professional career with Continental Bank in 1962. After graduating with a master's degree in business administration from the University of Chicago in 1965, he worked for Continental Grain until 1967. He then began his distinguished financial consulting career, working for Reinholdt Gardener, Shearson Lehman Brothers, and currently for Smith Barney. Condon has owned a seat on the Chicago Board of Trade since 1969 and actively traded grains on the floor of the exchange from 1975 to 1995. He is currently serving on the ACES Alumni Association Board of Directors. GROUP STUDY ROOM, THIRD LEVEL James R. and Helen Elliott Davies James R. Davies, a 1943 graduate, served as president of the Ag Alumni Association and Helen Elliott Davies, a 1941 graduate, served as president of the School of Human Resources and Family Studies/Home Economics Alumni Association. Jim and Helen met while both were working on the LaSalle County Extension staff. Jim then moved on to Amoco, where he spent a 31-year career, retiring in 1983. The couple have supported alumni and college activities at every possible opportunity. In addition to supporting this facility, they have endowed a college scholarship fund that provides annual support to students in the Jonathan Baldwin Turner Scholarship Program. Jim and Helen's two sons also are alumni of the College of Agriculture—James R. Davies II (1974) and John H. Davies (1976).
