Officials of the Ursuline College for Women, a Catholic institution, have announced that the $700,000 science building on the new campus of the college will be named for a Jewish benefactor of the Ursuline Nuns and the college.
The benefactor was Nathan L. Dauby, former president and chairman of the May Company, who died last May it the age of 90. The Rev. Mother Marie, president of the college, said that the science hall was named for the late Jewish businessman because his “faith and hope and love gave us a new horizon for the future.”
