SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDED FOR MEDICAL STUDENT

ALREADY GIVEN $55,000

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Under the will of the late Rebecca A. Greene (Mrs. Francis B. Greene), the University has just received $18,500 for the purpose of founding a scholarship to be known as the "John White Browne Scholarship." According to a recent vote of the Corporation, the Dean of the Medical School is to have the privilege of nominating the recipient of this award. The scholarship will be given to some student of promise in order to enable him to pursue for one year research investigations in medicine. Such research work may be carried on at the Medical School or elsewhere.

Already the Medical School has received more than $55,000 in accordance with another provision of Mrs. Greene's will. The School is to be unrestricted in the use of this fund.

John White Browne, in whose memory the scholarship has been established, was a graduate of the College in the class of 1830. He was a resident of Salem and an uncle of Mrs. Greene.

3 Founded Within Fortnight.

The Greene Scholarship is the third that has been established at the University within the past fortnight. The first of these was the "William Henry Meeker '17 Scholarship," to be awarded "for excellence in some of the English courses"; while the second was founded as the "Robert Darrah Jenks Scholarship" in memory of a graduate of that name of the class of 1897. For the duration of the war, the income from this latter scholarship may be applied for such military measures as the University may desire.
