Collins Residence Hall is named for William A. Collins Jr. (’61), a major University benefactor. Collins competed in track and field and played in the band. In 1994, he established a $2.1 million scholarship fund for students from his native Virginia. The dragon on the building crest is in honor of the Collins family crest, which features a dragon of its own.
