Edward Avedisian, who played clarinet in the Boston Pops Orchestra, has given Boston University’s medical school $100 million dollars, the university announced Thursday. BU’s medical school is being renamed the Boston University Aram V. Chobanian & Edward Avedisian School of Medicine.
After making his gift, Avedisian said he did not want the medical school to be named after him, asking instead that it be named for his friend, Chobanian.
According to the university’s new release, Brown continued to try to persuade the two friends to consent to a naming until finally they agreed on what Brown called “the grand compromise”- both of their names would be included. “I didn’t want anything named after me,” Avedisian says. “But he said, ‘I’ll only do this if your name is attached.’ So, we’re attached.”President Brown called the donation “one of the most remarkable grants in the history of higher education” when he officially accepted the gift in late August. “This is a historic day for the medical school and for Boston University,” Brown said on Thursday.
