Former senator's family gives $1.5M to University of Florida
<snip>

"Former U.S. Sen. Bob Graham and his family are donating $1.5 million to the Graham Center for Public Service at the University of Florida.

Graham, his brother William A. Graham and the Philip L. Graham Fund are making the donation to establish the Philip L. Graham Program Fund to provide support for graduate and undergraduate programs in public leadership.

Bob Graham served as governor from 1979 to 1987 and was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1986, where he served three consecutive terms.

William Graham is credited with developing Miami Lakes in the 1950s and '60s.

The Grahams' late brother, Philip, was publisher of The Washington Post until his death in 1963."
