In recognition of the role that William H. Danforth, life trustee and chancellor emeritus, his family and the Danforth Foundation have played in the evolution of Washington University in St. Louis, the Hilltop Campus will be renamed the Danforth Campus, according to Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton. An official recognition ceremony will be held Sept. 17, when the new name takes effect.

Yeah his family is filthy-rich, but Bill Danforth is actually a pretty nice guy. Admittedly, I've only met him twice.

The name "Hilltop" is actually helpful in determining where a campus location can be found. References to the "Danforth campus" won't be as helpful.
But money always trumps utility and common sense.
