University of Connecticut. Building Names Committee.

A resolution passed at the meeting of the University of Connecticut Board of Trustees on 20 February 1963 stated "That it is the policy of this Board to authorize the naming of University buildings or parts thereof in the future in the honor of certain individuals under" general conditions further described in the resolution. Within the year, President Homer Babbidge established a "faculty committee to study the matter of appropriate names for some of the University buildings which at present are not named in honor of any specific person." The Committee made recommendations for the naming of new buildings, usually University of Connecticut scholars associated with the academic discipline to be housed in the building, or after Connecticut residents of note. The Committee also did research on existing building names and compiled lists of names for future use. Recommendations were made by the Committee to the President, who, in turn, would present them to the Board of Trustees for approval.
