Copeland Professorship Pushes Campaign To $66 Million
 A bequest from Pamela Cunningham Copeland, coupled with a gift from her daughter, Louisa Copeland Duemling, provided $500,000 to establish the Lammot duPont Copeland Professorship in the Center for Environment and Society. Their gifts, which are matched under the terms of the Hodson Challenge that double all gifts to endowment of $100,000 or more, pushed the Campaign for Washington's College beyond $66 million.
Dr. Wayne Bell, Director of the new Center for Environment and Society, was named the first Lammot duPont Copeland Professor at Washington College.
In other development news, private support for Louis L. Goldstein Hall topped $2 million in April, completing a public/private partnership that included $2 million from the State of Maryland in the successful fundraising campaign for Goldstein Hall. Maryland Governor Parris N. Glendening delivered the keynote address before a dinner of donors of $1,000 or more to the project on April 20. Recent major gifts pushing fundraising for Goldstein Hall past the $2 million mark included $125,000 from Washington College parents, $150,000 from The Booth Ferris Foundation, and $500,000 allocated from an earlier $1 million grant from The Grayce B. Kerr Fund.
