The Wealth Report - WSJ.com : More Giving, Fewer Plaques Please

The Wealth Report - WSJ.com : More Giving, Fewer Plaques Please: "More Giving, Fewer Plaques Please

Last week, I was walking down 65th Street in Manhattan and noticed an unusual building next to the Julliard School of Music. It wasn’t the architecture I noticed. It was all the plaques and honorary names stenciled on the side of the building.

The tower itself was called the Meredith Willson Residence Hall, since it was funded in part with a gift from Rosemary Willson, the widow of the composer and Julliard alum. And the name was spelled out in giant letters on the side of the building."
