Max Finley, former Chairman of the RockTenn Corporation, dedicated his life to public service. He was an active supporter of the University of Tennessee system and a 1931 graduate of the University of Chattanooga.<\/p>\n<p>The family\u2019s business, Tennessee Paper Mill, was founded in 1917 by Finley\u2019s grandfather and others. Finley joined Tennessee Paper Mill in 1930 as a bookkeeper and became executive vice president in 1950. In 1973, the company merged with Rock City Box Company, creating RockTenn. Finley served as Chairman of the Board for RockTenn.<\/p>\n<p>Finley was a staunch backer of both academics and athletics at UTC. His generosity allowed the athletics program to survive when budgets were limited and he funded a professorship and a variety of scholarships. He received both the University of Chattanooga Distinguished Alumni Award and the Outstanding Service Award of the UTC Alumni Council and was inducted into the University&#8217;s Hall of Fame. Finley Stadium, home of the UTC football team, is located on the site of the former RockTenn plant and is named in Finley\u2019s honor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMax Finley was a man of few words, who avoided the limelight yet he gave back to Chattanooga because he always said it helped his business be successful,\u201d Cynthia Anderson, Finley\u2019s daughter, said. \u201cHis belief in the benefits of capitalism and his love of UTC make this chair so appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis endowment will provide the College of Business the resources needed to achieve excellence in teaching, service and research,\u201d said Dr. Robert Dooley, Dean of the UTC College of Business. \u201cNot only will this strengthen our academic reputation, but it will enrich the academic environment for our students and help provide them with the real-world skills needed to be successful in their careers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Continuing a legacy of support for UTC, a $1.1 million gift from the Finley family has created the W.
