Scammon Garden was named in honor of Chicago pioneers Mr. and Mrs. John Young Scammon. Mrs. Scammon donated the land for the Laboratory Schools to the University of Chicago, in memory of her late husband.
"John Young Scammon had been a trustee of the university, an influential member of the Chicago Historical Society, a public-spirited citizen of Chicago, and a liberal friend of education."
