Understanding both the modest Midwest tradition and the school pride of its alums, Mike Knetter organized a collective $85 million naming gift that will preserve the name Wisconsin School of Business for at least 20 years.

There are universities that instill a fervent love among their students and faculty, and Wisconsin is among them. I always thought the motto of the place should be "excellence without stuffiness."
