'Program' Given New Scholarship

A Program for Harvard College has received $25,000 to endow a scholarship for students living in South Carolina or attending schools in the state.

A.J.R. Helmus '16, a Spartanburg, S.C. manufacturer, established the scholarship as one of several National Scholarships which assist students from all sections of the United States to attend the College.

This first state-wide scholarship for South Carolina students was given in the "hope that other Harvard men will see the need for National Scholarships" in southeastern states. Helmus commented, "Boys everywhere should have the opportunity to go to Harvard if they so desire and are eligible."

Helmus, described as "always active in Harvard affairs," is founder and former president of the Harvard Club of Western South Carolina.
