Earlier this month the Business School Class of '60 gave its alma mater a $1.5 million professorship to support research and innovation in entrepreneurship.
This week, members of the Class of '55 did the same thing.
The new chair, called the Dimitri V. d'Arbeloff Class of '55 Professorship, also cost $1.5 million and also promotes entrepreneurship. Both are currently vacant and are not expected to be filled until next year.
The B-School did not plan for the two gifts to be so similar, said B-School spokesman William Hokanson. "That's just what the classes wanted," he said.
Four chairs with an emphasis on entrepreneurship have been endowed at the B-School since January 1982, Hokanson said.
