THE CHRONICLE THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22,1987 <5 DUKE UNIVERSITY DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA CIRCULATION: 15.000 VOL. 83, NO. 38 Fuqua school gets gift of $2 million By DAN BERGER The RJR Nabisco foundation announced Wednesday a $2 million gift to the Fuqua School of Business for use toward the construction of the University's new execu­ tive education center. During a press conference at the construction site, Ross Johnson, president and chief executive officer of RJR Nabisco Inc., presented a check for $500,000, the first of four installments to be paid annually over the next three years, to President Keith Brodie and Fuqua Dean Thomas Keller. The donation will be used to es­ tablish Horrigan Hall, named in honor of Edward Hor- rigan, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. and vice chairman of RJR Nabisco. The 40,228 square foot building, which includes the administrative offices for Fuqua's new R. David Thomas Center, is scheduled for completion in late 1988, along with the rest ofthe center. "Because we do seek excellence, we could not find a more appropriate place to invest some of our foundation dollars than here at Duke University," Johnson said. This is what we refer to as a low-risk investment, for we already know the kind of dividends it will return . .. and in this kind of economy it's nice to find a low-risk investment," he said. Keller said the foundation's contribution marks a major addition to the center's effort. "This core building, Horrigan Hall, will be the hub of activity in the Thomas Center," he said. In addition to the administrative of­ fices, the building will also include a dining room seating See FUQUA on page 7 • Rebound continues; Dow adds record 186.84 points By LAWRENCE DeMARIA general was more important than the move in the Dow market on Monday and Tuesday.
