Could you elaborate? I didn't understand what this even means. Did someone named "Theodora D." in 1978 donate alot of money and now the chairs are named after them?

Theodora’s last name is Walton and she graduated in 1978. She is married to the other Walton.

The “Walton Professor of Engineering” would have been sufficient.

Lots of money apparently buys lots of wordsmithing.
