GROUP STUDY ROOM, FOURTH LEVEL

Maydee Lehman This room was made possible by a generous gift from Maydee Lehman (1929) of Los Angeles, California, in memory of her father, Louis V. Logeman (1907). Mrs. Lehman, native of Chicago, Illinois, and her husband had a successful insurance business in Westwood Village, California. She was among the first six donors to the Jonathan Baldwin Turner Agricultural Scholarship Program and, through an exceptionally generous estate provision, she has provided the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences with its largest endowment to date in support of undergraduate and graduate student programs.

CONFERENCE CENTER, GROUND LEVEL

Lee L. and Mary Morgan/Caterpillar Foundation The Conference Center was made possible through generous gifts from Lee L. Morgan (1941) and Mary Morgan and the Caterpillar Foundation. Lee Morgan had a successful 40-year career with Caterpillar, Inc., rising to chairman of the board and chief executive officer in 1977 and serving in that capacity for nine years. He helped shape Caterpillar's role as a strong civic partner in improving the health, education, and social well-being of communities. The Caterpillar Foundation's support of this project was part of the $6million commitment from Caterpillar to Campaign Illinois, the largest single corporate contribution received by the University of Illinois at the time of giving. The College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences is grateful to the Morgans and to the Caterpillar Foundation for their important support of this project.
