At least, that's one of the explanations students receive when they ask. It's also been theorized that it's a Garibaldi prank.

(The joke, if there is one, is that none of the other buildings on campus that actually are named the way they are as memorials - W. Shawn Walsh Arena, for instance - are actually called "Memorial" whatever. Not even Mandeville Hall; the school itself is called the Deedlit Satori Mandeville Memorial Institute, but the building is officially just DSM Hall.)
