Scholarship Honoring Alumnus Killed in War Presented to College

The family and friends of Lt. George C. Lee, Jr. '51 have contributed the first college scholarship commemorating a student killed in Korea. The scholarship, named in Lee's honor, at present totals $9,472.69.

The gift honoring Lee adds to a long series of scholarships honoring the University's war dead. The classes of 1938, 1941, and 1944 have already established scholarships shortly after the close of World War II in memory of classmates who died in action.

The Lee scholarship was part of $2,740,293.90 received by the University in the last three months of 1953.
