Dartmouth College has named its medical school after a famous alum: Theodor 'Ted' Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss.How much does it take to get a 200 year old medical school to rename itself after you? A shitload:
The Audrey and Theodor Geisel School of Medicine has been named after the couple who has become the school's most significant philanthropist family in its history, according to a release Wednesday.
Geissel was one of the institution's largest financial supporters during his life and his estate has become the single largest private donor since his death in 1991.Word on the street was that the amount the Geisels have donated was in the low nine figures.
It pays well to rhyme.
