Although the change caused much havoc on upper campus, everyone contributed in working together to get the job done.

White Memorial Mall dedication ceremony was held on McKendree College ' s Lebanon campus. Alexander Wildy donated his farm near Athens, IL to the col- lege in October, 1981. The one million dollar donation was used partly to renovate the Old Science building into much needed office space for campus administration. When asked why he donated such a sum to a college he had no apparent connection with, the 89 year-old Wildy replied: You can ' t take it with you, I just wanted to help. McKendree The result of 4 years of hard work is shown on the faces of seniors Vicki Seiberlich and Diane Davis at Graduation. Another very generous donation to McKen- dree was given by Mrs. Muriel White in mem- ory of her deceased husband, Robert F. White, for the purpose of constructing an outdoor mall area for McKendree ' s students, faculty and staff. Mr. White was a member of McKendree ' s class of 1 922 and later served on the Board of Trustees in the 1960 ' s. Mrs. White and Alexander Wildy were pre- sent at the dedication and tours of Wildy Hall and the college ' s expanded bookstore and computer center were given.
