President Marshall W. Brown an nounced that some funds already have been received for this purpose. He invited other interested persons to contrbiute to the endowed scho larship in memory of Dr. Johnson, whose death on July 23 closed a lifetime of service to Presbyterian College and to the youth of South Carolina. The college administration and the executive council of the Walter Johnson Club, alumni athletic or ganization, agreed that the primary prerequisite of a scholarship re cipient should be “a young man who most nearly represents those principles of leadership, good sportsmanship and Christian integ rity that will be forever associated with the memory of Walter John son.” President Brown said money con tributed to this purpose will be in vested with other endowment funds of the institution. Income from the principal is to be awarded annual ly to a qualified PC student (or stu- dents > chosen by the Johnson Club. | Although an athlete will be given preference, any recipient must have proved his capacity academically j by graduating in the upper 50 per cent of his high school class and he must mart all entrance require, ments Dr Brown said it is hoped this Walter Johnson Memorial Scholar ship fund eventually will provide for several grant* running si mulls neoualy.
