MANIERRE BARLOW WARE SCHOLARSHIP (36) Mrs. Charles W a r e of Kenilworth, Illinois, has given the University $10,000 to endow an undergraduate scholarship in memory of her son, the late Manierre Barlow W a r e of the Class of 1917, who gave his life in France in the defense of his country during the last World War. H e was a First Lieutenant serving with the 362nd Infantry, American Expeditionary Forces, and was killed in action in the Argonne on October 12, 1918. Mrs. Ware's signed deed of gift is hereby turned over to the Secretary of the Board and reads as follows: "I hereby offer the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois a gift in the sum of $10,000, to be held in trust for the following "uses and purposes: The principal shall be invested according to the sound discretion of the Board of Trustees in securities of whatever type it may elect and the income thereof used to endow a scholarship in the University of Illinois, preferably in the College of Agriculture, such scholarship to be given to such male students annually as shall in the judgment of the appropriate University officials be most deserving thereof and not otherwise able to provide funds for their education. While I prefer that the beneficiaries be students in the College of Agriculture, nevertheless if more worthy and deserving students in the judgment of the University, be enrolled or seek to enroll in some other undergraduate division of the University, scholarships may be awarded to them. "The scholarship shall be known as the Manierre Barlow W a r e Scholarship." This scholarship will be administered by the standing Committee on Special Undergraduate Scholarships. I have accepted this gift and request confirmation of my action.

On motion of Dr. Meyer, the acceptance of this gift was approved and confirmed.
