Douglass was a graduate in chemical engineering and a member of Sigma Chi fraternity. At the time of his death he was working for the Monsanto Chemical Co. in St. Louis. Formerly he was from Hutchinson.
Irvin Youngberg, executive secretary of the Endowment Assn., said the Douglass family asked that money be contributed to the memorial fund instead of buying flowers for the funeral.
"The exact purpose of the fund has not been determined, but the money will be used for a scholarship or loan fund," Mr. Youngberg said.

Docking Replies To ASC Letter On Faculty Pay
The issue over state-supported school salary raises and other budget needs was kept warm over the Christmas holiday by a letter from Gov. George Docking to the All Student Council.
The governor's letter was an answer to the ASC letter of Dec. 19. Gov. Docking wrote that his aim is "to continue to provide the best education, at all levels, which Kansans can afford to support with their tax dollars."
"The matter of salaries for the professors...is but one facet of the fiscal problem which faces...the taxavers of Kansas."
Addressed To Student Officials
The letter was addressed to Richard Patterson, Kansas City, Mo. junior, chairman of the ASC, and Robert Billings. Russell junior, student body president.
Public announcement of the letter from the governor's office was made Dec. 30 and it was released with no comment. Patterson was interviewed by The Daily Kansan Monday. Billings was not available.
Patterson said he had not received his copy of the letter from Gov. Docking, but the ASC had received one letter from a member of the Board of Regents complimenting it on its letter to the governor.
Gov. Docking's letter continued, "Financing tax-supported higher education in Kansas is another of the fiscal problems which must be met by this administration and the taxpayers without emotion, and beyond the pressures of sheer political considerations."
Against Borrowing $9 Million
Also during vacation Gov, Docking said he was "not buying" a proposal for borrowing nine million dollars from state inactive funds to meet the immediate critical period for additional classroom space.
The proposal was prepared by the Board of Regents and it planned to repay the amount from 1968-70 receipts from the regular educational building fund.
"I can't say I am buying any 5-year plan at this point," Gov. Docking said. "The report is primarily for their own use, and they have to sell it to me use, and the Legislature now."
The state Legislature will convene Jan. 14 for its budget session and the state schools' budget is expected to be one of the main issues of the session.
