THE LATEST BIG DONATION TO THE COMMUNITY!Houston attorney Joe Jamail, whose name already appears on several University of Texas buildings, is donating another $15 million to the school.
"I like it, and I think I'm helping," the 82-year-old Jamail told the Houston Chronicle of his philanthropy at his alma mater. "There are no vaults where I'm headed, up or down."
The donation was formally announced Monday. Jamail said never before has support from the university's alumni and friends been more important.
The campus is already home to the Lee and Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center, Joe Jamail Field and the football stadium, the Joseph D. Jamail Pavilion and the Joseph D. Jamail Center for Legal Research.
It would be more appropriate to name all those buildings after the shareholders of Pennzoil or better yet Texaco. They are the real source of the money.
