Katherine B. Loker
Loker was educated at the University of Southern California and, with her late husband Donald P. Loker '25, has supported higher education, scientific and medical research and the arts.
Her recent efforts have been spent on Harvard's Memorial Hall and Widener Library. The newly constructed lower floors of Memorial Hall opened in 1997 now bears her name, as does the central reading room in Widener. She received the 1996 Harvard Medal for her service to the University.
Loker will receive an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters.
