In late December of 1985, the Martha and Spencer Love Foundation made a $1 million gift to Elon College to endow its business program. The Elon board of trustees voted to name the program the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business in memory of the foundation’s benefactors. At the time, the gift was the largest in the 97-year history of the college.
