Description: From left to right, Butler University President John G. Johnson, First Lady of Indiana Joanne (Josie) Wallace Orr, and Allen Whitehill Clowes sit at a table during the Clowes Memorial Hall 25th Anniversary Gala champagne dinner. An ornate key, which was presented to Allen Clowes during the evenings festivities, rests in a blue box on the table and the table number indicates this is table 10. Held in the Krannert Room in Clowes Memorial Hall, the formal dinner followed a performance by Rudolf Nureyev & Friends, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the building. Many other people are seated at additional tables in the background. Designed by architects John M. Johansen and Evans Woollen III, construction of the approximately 83,444 square-foot structure began on August 15, 1960, and the building officially opened on October 18, 1963. Built at a cost of approximately $3,600,000, the building was constructed in honor of Allen Clowes father, Dr. George Henry Alexander Clowes, and the majority of the financing was made possible by his mother, Edith Clowes, through the Clowes Foundation. Other funds were provided by Lilly Endowment, Inc. and Butler University, among other sources.
