The Walter S. McIlhenny Endowment was created to endow a natural history acquisition for Alderman Library's Department of Special Collections. The endowment was established in 1993 by John S. McIlhenny in honor of his late brother, Walter Stauffer McIlhenny, a UVA Engineering alum and World War II veteran who served as president of McIlhenny Company, maker of Tabasco brand pepper sauce, from 1949 until his death in 1985.
