ChE '37

Uncle Don was grateful to Cooper Union for his education, as well as for hiring my aunt. He placed a high value on education, as did she. She gives to Cooper Union because she very strongly believes that qualified and motivated but poor students should be supported in their educational endeavors. (Ken Deed about his uncle, Donald Deed, ChE ’37)
