Marjorie Merriweather Post later married financier [[Edward Francis Hutton|E. F. Hutton]] and owned a {{convert|177|acre|ha|adj=on}} estate on Long Island's North Shore called "Hillwood". Marjorie sold the estate in 1951 for $200,000 to [[Long Island University]], which founded its residential C.W. Post College in 1954, marking the 100th anniversary of C. W. Post's birth. For a while it was named the C.W. Post Center and then the C.W. Post Campus. What was C.W. Post College has now become mainly a commuter campus called LIU/Post, and it has about 8,500 full- and part-time students and over 100,000 [[Alumnus|alumni]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/liu-cw-2754/student-life|title=LIU Post ''U.S. News & World Report''|access-date=September 1, 2019}}</ref>
