Four streets in Whipple Park have been named after former members of UR's faculty.
The main access street to the apartments was named Murlin Drive, after the late John Murlin, professor of physiology from 1917 until 1945. The interior streets were named Conant, Quinby and Richardson Roads after Thomas Conant, professor of Hebrew (1850-54); Isaac Quinby, professor of mathematics and natural history (1851-84); and John Richardson, professor of Latin and literature (1850-68).
