Who can turn a college campus on with her money?

Mary Tyler Moore, known for turning on the world with her smile in the '70s sitcom ``The Mary Tyler Moore Show,'' donated a $200,000 building to house Shepherd College's Center for the Study of the Civil War.

The 180-year-old house was once owned by Ms. Moore's ancestor, coppersmith Conrad Schindler.

The center will be renamed the Conrad Schindler House-George Tyler Moore Center for the Study of the Civil War in honor of Ms. Moore's ancestor and her father.
