Summary[edit]

Description
English: "I prefer to put the money into brains rather than stone and mortar."

Mary Eliza Graydon (d. 1926) was The American University's most generous early benefactor. A devout Methodist, she was surprised by Bishop Hurst's plan for a national Methodist university and contributed funds over a period of 50 years. In honor of her grandfather, she established the Patrick Clendenen Endowment Fund intended to support teaching and to promote the higher education of women, rather than finance building projects. In recognition of Mary Graydon's continued support, this building -- begun in 1918 by the U.S. Government during WWI and completed in 1925 by the university-- was

named for her in 1945.
