$1.1 million bequest to endow business school professorship The John M. Olin School of Business has received $1.1 million from the late Myron Northrop, a former St. Louisan who graduated from the business school in 1926. He provided for the gift through a living trust.

Olin Foundation, New York, which had previously provided a $15 million challenge grant. "A major portion of the gift will endow a professorship in accounting in Northrop's name," he said.
