7 Art Students Get Scholarships
Scholarships and awards went to seven students in the department of drawing and painting.
The Ada Bechtel Heuser Fund of $250 was awarded to Judith D. Andrews, Wichita freshman. Nancy Ellyson, Georgetown, Tex. sophomore, received the Louella F. Stewart Scholarship of $35.
Special Professorships Established By Gift
Roy A. Roberts, president of the Kansas City Star, has given $200,000 to the Endowment Assn. to create permanent endowments for two Distinguished Professorships.
Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy hailed the gift of Mr. Roberts, made to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of his KU class, the class of 1908, as "ushering in a new epoch in the University's life." Establishing the principle of the endowed Distinguished Professorships will permit the University to keep and acquire gifted scholars and teachers in competition with any institution in the United States.
"It is our urgent hope that other friends of the University will comprehend the importance of this concept as readily and generously as Mr. Roberts, so that in the next five years we may have as many as 10 Endowed Distinguished Professorships."
Mr. Roberts expressed the hope that the two awards, which have already been accepted by the Board of Regents and named the Roy A. Roberts Distinguished Professorships, would be in the fields of science and mathematics and in the humanities.
The annual income from the $100,000 endowment for each Distinguished Professorship will be added to the regular University salary of a senior and gifted professor. The endowed professorship principle has been used in some eastern universities but exists only in a few state schools, including the Universities of Michigan, California and North Carolina.
The Roberts Distinguished Professors, who will be nominated by the University administration and confirmed by the Board of Regents, may be chosen from among the present faculty and be new appointees.
