Donor Stories
Hymen Krass
It is nearly certain that upon his graduation Hymen Krass (CE ’37) never dreamed that he would leave such a large legacy to his alma mater. In 1999 he made a Contract to Bequeath $500,000 to Illinois Institute of Technology. The bequest was matched dollar for dollar by the Pritzker/Galvin Challenge resulting in the establishment of the Hymen H. Krass Scholarship Fund. While his $500,000 bequest was generous indeed, positioning it with the Pritzker/Galvin Challenge meant Hymen doubled the amount of his gift.
