Ferris was the source of Timme Ferris President Emeritus Robert Ewigleben spoke movingly about Abigail Timme, whom he met in 1972. Ferris was the source of Timme's only formal education, said Ewigleben—she completed her studies in 1914 but was unable to receive her degree due to an internship opportunity in Grand Rapids arranged by Woodbridge Ferris. She finally received her degree in the spring of 1972 and made a generous gift to the University, beginning a legacy of support that continues to this day.
"The name Timme is very significant to the history of Ferris," Ewigleben said. "For that name to live on, through the library, and now, through this beautiful building, is a wonderful tribute."
