KU's largest residence hall is named for brothers Elmer V. and Burton McCollum, who grew up in Lawrence and worked their way through school. Elmer received a bachelor's in chemistry in 1903 and a master's in 1904, and later identified vitamins A and D. Burton took a 1904 degree in electrical engineering and was a pioneering researcher in seismography. McCollum Laboratories also is named for him and was funded by income from his estate and more than 30 patents he registered.
