‘The Architect of the Whole Plan’: Harvard Law Graduate Ken Chesebro’s Path to Jan. 6
A plan for the award of scholarships from the money left over after donations to charitable organizations, a radical departure from the usual budgetary procedure of the Student Council, was revealed last night by Richard G. Ames '34, president of the organization. The plan which has been worked out by Ames and Theodore Chase '34, treasurer of the council, calls for the award of two or more substantial scholarships yearly to undergraduates who are active in college affairs.
Alfred C. Hanford. Dean of Harvard College, and President Conant, must both approve the plan before it can be put into effect.
"Although no scholarship will be awarded to a man with low marks," said Ames, "the scholarships will be awarded primarily on the basis of participation in college activities. Needless to say, the awards will be made only to needy individuals."
The money for these scholarships is expected to come from various economies practiced this year by the council. A reduction in cost of recent class elections, especially the omission of pre-election posters, netted the council a considerable amount. If the plan is passed by the Student Council at its next meeting early this month, and is approved by Dean Hanford and President Conant, the council will award one scholarship for the second half-year, the recipient to be determined both by college activity and mid-year grades.
