What they could do is continuing to name each college, like the Olin School of Business, the Sam Fox School of Design, the George Warren Brown School of Social Work and the Sever Institute of Continuing Studies (graduate level engineering). How about the Danforth College of Arts and Sciences and the Whitaker or Brauer College of Engineering? Those are the two large undergraduate programs that really need their own name! Then when people ask you where you are going to school you could answer “the Danforth College of Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis”. That would be such an earful they would never ask you again!

And while they are naming things they need to give better names for the Psychology, Lab Sciences and Earth & Planetary Sciences buildings. Someone with a few hundred million dollars has to donate so we can get some better names. I cannot believe they already have names for Seigle Hall and the just started Brauer Hall when other current buildings desperately need some shorter names!
