Staley Was Here!
The Staley Library
Today is commencement for the Millikin University Class of 2024!
Mr. Staley was surprised to see how much the campus had grown and changed since his lifetime… but even more surprising was seeing his name above the library entrance
The Staley Library was dedicated May 21, 1978, commencement day for that year’s graduating class
The Staley family and the Staley Mfg. donated 2.1 million dollars to help make this facility available to Millikin University students and the Decatur community.
Mr. Staley could not have been more proud to see how his descendants and his company made supporting education a priority.
While Staley’s formal education was limited, the school of life taught him plenty. In 1940 just months before he passed, he received an honorary Doctor of Science degree from Millikin University in recognition of his many achievements as an industrialist.
