2.8 GPA Earns Eaton Award
Stephen R. Munzer, Salina junior, has been named recipient of the 1964-65 Grace Caroline Eaton Scholarship.
The annual award goes to the male, junior student in the college of liberal arts who has attained the highest grade point average during the first two years of school. Munzer, a Summerfield scholar majoring in English and history, has a grade point average of approximately 2.8.
The stipend, taken from the $60,000-$70,000 fund established by the late Miss Eaton, is based on the student's needs and is applicable to both the junior and senior years.
Miss Eaton graduated from KU in 1893 and was one of the University's oldest alumni before her death at 90 in 1960. She was a pioneer school teacher and long-time high school principal at Wamego, where she died.
