Wehras: C. Frederic (Todd) Wehr, a member of a socially-elite early Milwaukee pioneer family, demonstrated his philanthropic nature with a gift of $2,250,000 to Marquette University; and Wehras: C. Frederic Wehr in honoring the memories of his late father Henry who came to Milwaukee in 1856, and his late mother Barbara, established the Wehr Science Center to exalt their name for posterity; and Wehras: C. Frederic Wehr, a kind, thoughtful man, also provided an endowment for professorships in physics and chemistry; and Wehras: C. Frederick Wehr has given one of the largest gifts to our intellectual religious complex, thus giving a fresh breath of confidence to Marquette that it will with the wind become a prestigious super-sonic scientific complex, and so that his family name will thus be happily and fittingly perpetuated; and Wehras: C. Frederic Wehr stressed the importance of science in human progress and said the scientific life . . . the finding of new truth to one's fellows . . . can best be lived in a university community, and Wehras: The gift is believed to be the highest single philanthropic contribution in the educational records of Wisconsin; and Wehras: The Wehr family has contributed generously for many years to Marquette especially in medical education; and Wehras: $500,000 of the Wehr gift was used to build the Chemistry Building, $750,000 is used to endow a distinguished professorship in chemistry and physics, the remaining $1,000,000 of the gift will establish the Wehr Science Center endowment; and Wehras: Todd Wehr graduated from West Division High School in 1908 and received a degree in mechanical engi- neering from Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. in 1912, later to go into his dad’s steel company, and later became president of the firm until 1958; and Wehras: His agreement provided that the C. Frederic Wehr Foundation Inc. of Wisconsin will guarantee the commitments made by him to the University; and Wehras: The university has always depended on philanthropy in addition to its tuition income for almost all of its operating expenses; and Wehras: The gift included not only the Life Science and Chemistry Building, but plans for a massive physics building are nearing completion, so what we see isn’t all we’re going to get; therefore Resolved: Since journalism and speech gettoes are crumbling faster than ancient Rome, where can their philanthropic Wehr be?
