Indeed, George William Hill, an 1859 graduate of Rutgers University
is well honored by his alma mater. In 1972, the University named its
new mathematical sciences building after him. See Weibel's history
of math education at RU at
http://www.math.rutgers.edu/docs/history.html
In fact, the essay, details a very interesting history of the
mathematics department from the colonial era to 1980s.
