While touring the university grounds, a visitor paused to admire the new Hemingway Hall that had been built on campus.
“I absolutely love Ernest Hemingway,” said the prospective student. “Can you tell me the connection between him and the University?”
“Actually,” noted the guide, “it’s named for Joshua Hemingway. No relation.”
A little let down, the young student asked, “Was Joshua Hemingway also a writer?”
“Yes, indeed,” explained the guide. “He wrote a check.”
