Ben E. May Ben E. May (1889–1972) was a Mobile, Alabama, businessman and philanthropist who helped found the Ben May Institute for Cancer Research at the University of Chicago and established the Southern Research Institute in Birmingham, Alabama. The Ben May Library—Mobile's central public library—is named in his honor. ==Early life== At the age of fifteen, May worked in a saw mill, where he acquired the expertise with which he would eventually make his fortune. After only a year of formal higher education at the Georgia Institute of Technology, May moved to Mobile, Alabama, where he quickly recognized the value of the region's timber holdings and began acquiring previously-harvested properties with the idea of reforesting them.〔Alabama Business Hall of Fame, Culverhouse College of Commerce, University of Alabama, http://cba.ua.edu/about/hof/ben-e-may.〕
