GREENVILLE, IL - Kaufmann Hall, the new residence hall under construction on Greenville University’s campus, is named in honor of Dr. M. Kenneth Kaufmann and family. It only seems fitting to name the new building that will house 246 students after the man who offered up space in his own home to many students who needed it. Most GU alumni from 1959 to 2000 recall Dr. Kenneth Kaufmann (Class of 1949) as Greenville College’s physician, husband to Stella (Butcher ’54), and father to seven children, six who attended GU. He also taught health and science classes at the institution. Over the years, he and his family opened their home to at least 24 students, a gesture that helped his young house guests afford college. Jerry Britt, a 1983 alumnus, stayed with the Kaufmanns during his sophomore year and remembers his time there fondly. He says they treated any student who lived with them like family. “Dr. Kaufmann was a successful doctor, but a down-to-earth guy
