W-S City Council approves WFU road names honoring professors

Following approval by the Winston-Salem City Council, Wake Forest will move forward to name roads on the Reynolda Campus in honor of four trailblazing professors.

Roads will be named for Elizabeth Phillips, Dolly McPherson, Marjorie “Marge” Crisp and Herman Eure.

“We are excited the city has affirmed the University’s efforts to honor these four outstanding professors, and we are eager to share their stories through the road naming and renaming process,” said President Susan R. Wente.

The honorees will be recognized during Homecoming weekend, September 16-18, in two ways: on the field during Saturday’s football game against Liberty University and during the homecoming worship service on Sunday.

“Intersections: Roads of Honor,” an exhibit featuring historical images and biographies of the honorees as well as a map, will be on display in Z. Smith Reynolds Library’s Special Collections and Archives (Room 625) and near Shorty’s in Benson University Center.
