Wake Forest plans to name four roads on the Reynolda Campus in honor of four trailblazing professors: Elizabeth Phillips, Dolly McPherson, Marjorie “Marge” Crisp and Herman Eure. This past spring, President Wente convened the ad hoc Administrative Committee for Honorifics to recommend new names for four roads on campus.
With city approval, Wake Forest plans to install new street signs early this fall and offer opportunities for the community to learn more about each honoree and their roles in the University’s history. Road names were intentionally chosen to connect their campus location with each honoree’s experiences and contributions.
