NMSU Receives $3 Million
Naming Gift for Library from Zuhls
Herbert and Joan Zuhl of Las Cruces have donated a record $3 million to NMSU as a naming gift for the New
Library. The Library will receive the earnings from the endowment, which will be managed by the NMSU
Foundation. According to Joe Creed, Interim Vice President of University Advancement, the ultimate gift
from the Zuhl’s estate could be as much as $6 million. The Library will display the couple’s extensive collec-tion
of petrified wood, which is millions of years old, and other geological artifacts such as meteorites and
fossils. Ron Jordan, Assistant Vice President of University Advancement, met with the Zuhls for several months
to plan the gift.

Former New Yorkers Herbert and Joan Zuhl moved
from Manhattan to Las Cruces ten years ago. They
first visited Las Cruces on a vacation trip. Herbert
worked as a chemist for several large companies. In
1970 they dug up a piece of petrified wood “for the
fun of it” on private property near Holbrook, Arizona.
This led to the establishment of a very successful
business selling the petrified wood to architects,
collectors, and others. Now retired, the Zuhls enjoy
their life in Las Cruces. Joan is an artist and Herbert
enjoys golf, riding a motorcycle and activities as a
Mason. Each of NMSU’s regents praised the Zuhls as
they stood before an applauding audience at the
March 24 meeting of the Board of Regents. Herbert
Zuhl said “We have always been interested in
promoting education because it is one of the
answers to the world’s problems.”
“We look forward to a long-term
working relationship with the
Zuhls to present their collection
and to honor their support.”
Interim Dean of the Library R. David Myers said “The
University Library is very excited to receive two
generous gifts from Herbert and Joan Zuhl. We will
be honored (Naming... continued on page 14)
