A bequest from the estates of Maud Walker Ames and of her
husband, Edwin Gardner Ames, established the Walker-Ames Fund of
the University of Washington in 1931. Mr. and Mrs. Ames proposed
that income of the Fund be used to secure for the University
of Washington the scholarly and educational services of the
most distinguished and unusual minds available in this and other
countries.

A gift to the University of Washington by Mr. John Danz and
his wife, Jessie Danz, established The John Danz Fund in 1961.
In 1970, Mrs. Danz made an additional gift to The John Danz Fund.
The original gift was intended to bring to the campus each year
"distinguished scholars of national and international reputation
who have concerned themselves with the impact of science
and philosophy on man's perspective of a rational universe."
The terms of the gift, however, do not restrict the fund
to this one specific purpose. The terms allow the Board of Regents
wide discretion in the use of the income for those purposes
which will rapidly strengthen and advance the academic program
of the University. Allocations from the Fund support The Jessie and John Danz Lectureship
and Visiting Professorship Program. Appointees are designated
Jessie and John Danz Lecturers or Jessie and John Danz Visiting
Professors.
