For more years than most of us could remember, the students, the faculty and the alumni were in agree· ment on Georgetown's need for an adequate campus gymnasium. Accordingly, in the fall of 1947, after care­ ful plans had been made to insure the financial sound­ ness of the new corporation through an expanded active membership, the Board of Governors of the Association appointed Charles J. Milton, '35, of New Jersey, to or­ ganize a Gymnasium Committee to raise $860,000 for the construction of McDonough Memorial Gymnasium. 2 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY ALUMNI MAGi\ZINE Alumni House, the first portion o/ which was made available by the University for our use in 1950, houses the offices o/ the Association and the records of its members.

  • FINAL REPORT of Special Committee on Marvin Center Name
    Report of the Special Committee on the Marvin Center Name March 30, 2021 I. INTRODUCTION Renaming Framework The George Washington University Board of Trustees approved, in June of 2020, a “Renaming Framework,” designed to govern and direct the process of evaluating proposals for the renaming of buildings and memorials on campus.1 The Renaming Framework was drafted by a Board of Trustees- appointed Naming Task Force, chaired by Trustee Mark Chichester, B.B.A. ’90, J.D. ’93. The Task Force arrived at its Renaming Framework after extensive engagement with the GW community.2 Under the Renaming Framework, the university President is to acknowledge and review requests or petitions related to the renaming of buildings or spaces on campus. If the President finds a request for renaming “to be reasonably compelling when the guiding principles are applied to the particular facts,” the President is to: (1) “consult with the appropriate constituencies, such as the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, leadership of the Student Association, and the Executive Committee of the GW Alumni Association, on the merits of the request for consideration”; and (2) “appoint a special committee to research and evaluate the merits of the request for reconsideration.”3 Appointment of the Special Committee President LeBlanc established the Special Committee on the Marvin Center Name in July of 2020, and appointed Roger A. Fairfax, Jr., Patricia Roberts Harris Research Professor at the Law School as Chair. The Special Committee consists of ten members, representing students, staff, faculty, and alumni of the university, and two advisers, both of whom greatly assisted the Special Committee in its work.4 The Special Committee’s Charge Under the Renaming Framework, the charge of the Special Committee is quite narrow.
