ACCEPTANCE OF NETTIE ARTERBURN SCHOLARSHIP F U N D (36) In the Will of Nettie Arterburn of Kansas, Illinois, the residue of her estate (approximately $9,305.64) is given to the University of Illinois to create a perpetual trust, the income of which is to be used to provide scholarships primarily to benefit students from Kansas Township, Edgar County, Illinois. In the selection of students to receive the scholarship, the University is to consider financial need, good citizenship, scholarship, integrity, and ambition. T h e Will requests that the students receiving the scholarships should maintain a " B " average in order to remain eligible, and that the scholarships be limited to individuals who are apparently not able to attend the University without assistance. If no student from Kansas Township qualifies in the opinion of the University, then students from Edgar County are to become eligible. The attorneys for the estate have requested a formal resolution of the Board accepting the gift on the terms stated in Miss A r t e r b u m ' s Will before making any distribution to the University. I recommend formal action to accept the gift and the adoption of the following resolution. Resolution WHEREAS, in her will dated May 16, 1955, Nettie Arterburn established a trust known as the "Nettie Arterburn Scholarship Fund," the income of which is to be used to provide scholarships to students from Kansas Township of Edgar County or Edgar County; and WHEREAS, Miss Arterburn is now deceased and the estate has requested formal action of T h e Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois accepting said gift prior to distributing same. Now, therefore, be it resolved by T h e Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois that the "Nettie Arterburn Scholarship F u n d " be and hereby is accepted by the University of Illinois on the terms and for the purposes set forth in the will of Nettie Arterburn dated May 16, 1955.

On motion of Mr. Clement, the foregoing resolution was adopted.
