The college's generous alumnae
largely funded the renovation and expansion of the Brown Fine Arts
Center at Smith College.
Two of the largest single gifts in the
college's history funded more than half of the $35 million project,
which, when launched, was the most ambitious capital construction
ever undertaken by Smith.

The
Brown Foundation, Inc., Houston A $14 million
gift from the Houston-based Brown Foundation, Inc.
contributed $10 million toward the fine arts complex.
The Brown Foundation gift represents the generosity
of three women: Isabel Brown Wilson, a 1953 Smith
graduate and a member of the college's board of trustees;
her sister, Maconda Brown O'Connor, who received
a master's degree in social work from Smith in 1985
and a Ph.D. in 1998; and their cousin, Louisa Stude
Sarofim, who graduated from Smith in 1958. |
