Missouri businessman and gifted entrepreneur Mr. Morris donated 813,000 dollars to Columbia
College in 2011 toward the purchase of this building. It was the second largest gift in
the institutions history from a living donor and the largest gift given to a Columbia College
Nationwide Campus. I want again to profess appreciation from
the entire college to Mr. Morris for making this grand structure possible; and express
my fervent hope that Jim D. Morris Hall will stand as a tangible symbol and evidence of
the Columbia College commitment to keeping up the important work that we do here; not
only today but well into the future. I just wanted everybody to know that our family
is so proud to be a part of this family now and to be able to say yes we are a associated
with Columbia College and aren't they great. I just say God bless all of you, thank you.
