Olin Hall
Olin Hall, which houses the Department of Earth
and Planetary Sciences, was built in 1980-81. It is named in
honor of John M. Olin, chairman of the Olin Mathieson Chemical
Co., whose foundation provided the funds for the building.
Olin, who invented the plastic shotgun shell now in common use,
was a trustee of the University from 1953 to 1974.
