Lee (right) laugh while standing in the Clowes Memorial Hall lobby during the Clowes Memorial Hall 25th Anniversary Gala. On the wall are portraits of Dr. George Henry Alexander Clowes (left) and Edith Whitehill Hinkel Clowes (right), painted by Pietro Pezzati and donated by The Clowes Fund in 1966. The gala consisted of a performance by Rudolf Nureyev & Friends, followed by a champagne dinner held in the Krannert Room. Designed by architects John M. Johansen and Evans Woollen III, construction of the approximately 83,444 square-foot Clowes Memorial Hall began on August 15, 1960, and it officially opened on October 18, 1963. Built at a cost of approximately $3,600,000, the building was constructed in honor of the late Dr. George Henry Alexander Clowes. The majority of the financing was made possible by his widow Edith Clowes through the Clowes Foundation, but other funds were provided by Lilly Endowment, Inc. and Butler University, among other sources.
