Two
New Putzel Chairs at Wharton
The
estate of the late Robert G. and Elizabeth F. Putzel has donated
over $5 million to Wharton as part of the Campaign for Sustained
Leadership. As one of the largest bequests in the School*s history,
Mr. and Mrs. Putzel*s gift created two endowed chairs for Wharton
professors. Dean Harker remarked that the "Robert and Elizabeth
Putzel Chairs are a magnificent legacy and testament to the commitment
the Putzels had for Wharton. The entire Wharton community is profoundly
grateful for this wonderful gift." Mr. Putzel was a 1930 Wharton
graduate.
