PAGE EIGHT THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1961 College Shares In Two Grants Newberry College will share in the 1961 grants of $540,000 made to education institutions and or ganizations by The General Foods Fund, Inc. This year’s grants bring to more than $3.5 million the aid supplied to education since the Fund was established in 1953, according to Leonard F .Gnez, Fund president. Since its inception, General Foods Fund has emphasized that the grants are, with few excep tions, unrestricted because it is recognized that educators them selves are in the best po- ition to know how to use most effectively the funds they receive. Based on reports from institutions receiving grants, about half of the funds has been used for faculty salary im provement programs, he said. Newberry College is one of nine institutions that will share in a $9,000 grant to the South Caro lina Foundation of Independent Colleges, Inc., made under the 1961 aid-to-education program of Un ited States Steel Foundation, Inc.
