Noble Bretzman Mr. and Mrs. James Irving Holcomh At the close of our first one hundred years, special tribute should certainly be given to Mr. J. I. Holcomb who has done so much toward making the Butler campus one of the most beautiful in the country. The results of his generosity are everywhere— the Botanical Gardens, the Garden House and Lake, and the Centennial gift from Mr. and Mrs. Holcomb— the Observatory and Planetarium. Our state, our city, and everyone connected with the University is grateful to the Holcombs. [18]
