===Benefactor William Bucknell===
In 1881, facing dire financial circumstances, the college turned to [[William Bucknell]], a [[charter member]] of the [[board of trustees]], for help. His donation of $50,000 (${{formatnum:{{Inflation|US|50000|1881|r=-4}}}} today) saved the college from ruin. In 1886, in recognition of Bucknell's support of the college, the trustees voted unanimously to change the name of the University at Lewisburg to Bucknell University.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Brackney |first1=William H. |title=Congregation and Campus: North American Baptists in Higher Education |date=2008 |publisher=Mercer University Press |location=Macon, Georgia |isbn=978-0-88146-130-5 |page=206 |edition=1 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wq8w4rJ4Am8C&q=john%20p.%20crozer&pg=PA277 |access-date=15 October 2017}}</ref> Bucknell Hall, the first of several buildings given to the institution by Bucknell, was initially a [[chapel]] and for more than a half century the site of student theatrical and musical performances.
