Robert Allen Downing was a Chico native who attended community college and then U.C. Berkeley. Although he is not an alum, his wife stated that his heart was here in Chico and so he chose to provide a gift from his estate to establish a scholarship for Chico State Students. Mr. Downing passed away in 1994. His wife Beth worked on campus from 1934-1937 as a secretary.
