Paul Mellon was born 1907 in Pittsburgh, he graduated at Yale in 1929 and then came to Clare College that year to read History. He graduated in 1931 and his father, Andrew Mellon, was given an Honorary Degree at the same ceremony. After his father died in 1937 he turned from his father's world of business and made philanthropy his extraordinary legacy. Over his lifetime, Mellon gave nearly a billion dollars to museums and other causes ranging from public health to the environment. In 2007 the College will celebrate the centenary of Paul Mellon's birth and the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the Mellon Fellowships. An exhibition has been mounted at the University Library.
