The Spalding University
Tulip Poplar Society

Tulip Poplar tree on campus

Given by the first graduating class of Nazareth College in Louisville, and planted in the mansion courtyard, the tulip poplar tree, for which the society is named, is treasured by the Spalding community.

As the tree will continue to provide shade and shelter, the Tulip Poplar Society will continue to assist the university in providing quality educations for future students.

By creating a legacy with Spalding, you are now a member of our most celebrated donor society.

Inspired by the foresight and generosity of those who planted our treasured tulip poplar tree in the Mansion

courtyard—a parting gift from the first graduating class of Nazareth—the Tulip Poplar Society is reserved for individuals who have selflessly contributed to carrying the Spalding mission into the future. Just as the tree will continue to provide shade and shelter, the Tulip Poplar Society will continue to assist the university in providing quality educations for future students.
