Robert Morin (January 3, 1938 – March 31, 2015) was a librarian at the University of New Hampshire's Dimond Library from 1965 to 2014 where he catalogued DVDs, CDs, and music scores. He donated $4 million to the university in his will,[1][2] and a scandal later emerged after the university spent a quarter of it on a new football scoreboard.[3][4][5]
