Boston University has announced that George Sherman of Newton, noted Jewish philanthropist, has given an additional undisclosed sum to the university. The new $5,000,000 University Union Building is named for him.
His latest gilt was conceived in the hope of stimulating other gifts for the recently planned $5,500,000 Boston University Central Library campaign. The new gift was allocated to adjoining malls and a two tier connecting corridor which will eventually link the recently completed Sherman Union and the Central Library.
