The primary person who has made this possible is David Swensen, Yale endowment’s chief investment officer, who has delivered strong returns for Yale over his 30 year reign (although 2016 was fairly flat).
Yale needs to address the doughnut hole families.
What’s “the doughnut hole families”?
Agree absolutely that Swensen made all this possible. It’s an absolute shame they won’t named one of the new colleges after him.
Name after a finance person at a university where many faculty members and students criticize the university sending too many students to the finance profession? The chance is not good. 
Ironically, those complaining professors salaries’ are partially paid due to the talents of Swensen.
AFAIK they don’t name colleges after people currently alive. Either way, there are tons of deserving alumni but only a couple of colleges to name, so not everyone can be recognized that way.
