This Thursday, the college will dedicate East Hall in honor of Frank Rathje Jr. '50. Rathje is the former president of Illinois Regional Bank and former chair of Illinois Valley Bancshares Inc. He has also been active in charity, chairing the Glenwood School for Boys. The dedication ceremony will be Thursday at 8 p.m. in the new Rathje Hall's first floor lounge.
For more on Rathje and the decision to name a hall after him, be sure to see this Friday's S&B.

Reason #1 for the decision: Mr. Rathje paid the $1 million fee ("donation").
So...how do you pronounce that? Rath-jeh or Rath-yeh?
It is pronounced "Rath-gee". Good point, though, we should have given a pronunciation guide.
