With his gift Mr. Hurley made a re quest: that the six study-halls in the pro posed collegiate Gothic building be named for "distinguished American industrial leaders of international vision;" that an oil painting of each be hung to remind the students of "his boyhood struggles, phenomenal success and subsequent leader ship."
