Bernard B. Ramsey (1915-1996) graduated from the University of Georgia’s Terry College in the class of 1937. After serving in United States Army Air Forces during World War Two, he had a successful sales career with Merrill Lynch & Company Inc. During this time, he served as a trustee to the University. After his retirement from Merrill Lynch, he became the largest single donor to the University ever in 1993 when he established a trust that went “toward scholarships, new buildings, and an endowment for a research chair.” After he passed away in 1996 an even larger sum was willed to the University. This sculpture was created by Teena Stern and Don Haugen on October 1, 2004 and is near Moore College.
