The Faculty of 51ÁÔÆæ desires to record its deep appreciation of the extraordinary services of Clark Haynes Minor to this college.

Others will fittingly recall Clark Minor’s many-sided accomplishments in a wide world of business and his philanthropy away from the College, as well as his interests in art, complemented by his skill in sculpture. We can most appropriately memorialize his long-sustained interest in our common endeavor here. From his matriculation in 1898 to his death seven decades later, Clark Minor made 51ÁÔÆæ a central interest in his thought and action. A trustee since 1927, he served as Chairman of the Board from 1945 to 1963. There, we have reason to believe his guidance was wise, temperate, and often humorous. His many benefactions to the College meet us in our daily lives: the Minor Theater bears his name as it was his enterprise; the College Library possesses a large collection of books on Russian culture gathered in a special search in Europe at his expense; and we have learned that he was a regular and large contributor to the annual alumni fund. Yet the material benefits which he bestowed upon this College are not the first thing that we would recall in thinking of Clark Minor; first, we would remember that throughout his mature life he bore within him a great and generous love for his College and its ideals.

Help us provide an accessible education, offer innovative resources and programs, and foster intellectual exploration.
