AS the boys who are helped by the
fund are to return the money to the
college as soon after leaving college
as they IA conviently do 80 and as
advanced to others the aid extended
will constantly increase. The girls
aided are asked to do the same, but 1T
not required Of them.
In distributing the prize fund pre-
ference was given to state universities
except where the state contained some
college OF greater Importance.
In distributing the funds for the
aid Of poor boys and girls preference
was generally given to the smaller
cOlleges-the same amount Of money
going father among these colleges.
All the principal denominations
were recognized in the distribution
a little partiality being shown the
Congregational colleges because Mr..
Bennett attended the Congregational
church.
Two colored schools we're included
uho OlC VI WHO OUltoi CSiiSSSS itssS u
considerable number Of Indians en-.
rolled among It's students. The var.
ious funds were SO distributed that In
at least one college in every state and
territory between the two oceans a
permanent Bennett fund will perpet.
uate the name and recall the gene.
rosity Of Philo Sherman Bennett.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan Of course re.
ceived no compensation for dlstrlbu
ting these funds but they are richly
rewarded for the little they have
been able to do by the consciousness
that they have aided q friend to make
a valuable contribution to his owr
and subsequent generations. The
Bennett ease has given Mr.. Bryan 8
great deal of annoyance and some OF
the republican papers have malicious
ly miSrepresented the facts but Ii is
over and the money secured fer educa,
! tt3nal purposes will prove a contlnu-
ing blessing to thousands of boys anc
girls, while the annoyance will soor
be forgotten.
