These prefixes (for money) are getting out of hand
- zirror 4y agoCould you elaborate? I didn't understand what this even means. Did someone named "Theodora D." in 1978 donate alot of money and now the chairs are named after them?
- wrycoder 4y agoTheodora’s last name is Walton and she graduated in 1978. She is married to the other Walton. The “Walton Professor of Engineering” would have been sufficient. Lots of money apparently buys lots of wordsmithing.
