The 1846 Legacy Society recognizes and honors donors who have created personal legacies through an estate provision or planned gift to Carroll. The Society pays homage to Eleazar Root, Carroll University’s founder, and Carroll’s first president, John Adams Savage. This group celebrates the spirit of exploration and discovery that began in 1846 when Carroll became Wisconsin’s first four-year institution of higher learning. Their dynamic leadership and successful fundraising laid the groundwork for the thriving university Carroll is today. The 1846 Legacy Society gratefully acknowledges the benefactors who carry on that heritage and pioneering spirit.
