SCHOLARSHIP FUND
BY Mrs. G. K. Bowerman, Chairman.
Madam President and Ladies Of the
Federation;
/ have the honor to submit the fol-
lowing report of the Loan Scholarship
Fund Of the Idaho State Federation
OF Clubs.
The Idaho State Federation Of
Clubs assembled in Boise at their
first biennial meeting October 25th
and 26th, 1906, passed the following
resolutions creating this fund:
BE IT RESOLVED by the State
Federation OF Women's Clubs assem-
bled, that scholarship Of one hum
dred dollars, founded upon the loan
policy, be established by this organ
ization for the State University of
Idaho. This scholarship to go into
effect and be available In June, 1907;
the conditions required for this
scholarship to be indicated by rules
and regulations prepared by q COM
mittee created by the federation, and
added to the regular standing COM
mittee OF the federation. That such
committee be required to secure all
necessary information available from
the Colorado Loan Scholarship COM
mittee and elsewhere, and report, and
present their plans 70 the executive
committee for ratification and action.
Our federation is young; this is
our second biennial meeting and it
was during the term of our first
president, Mrs. Standrod, that this
good and far-reaching work was
commenced. Mrs. Ridenbaugh, at
one time a university regent, was
chairman of this committee.
The president appointed the fol-
lowing women to serve on this com
mittee: From the north, Mrs.
Joseph Glasson; from the south, Mrs.
Mckinney; from the southeast, Mrs.
J. G. Weeter and myself. Our new
president, Mrs. Butterfield, ON the
resignation Of Mrs. Mckinney, ap-
pointed Miss Helen Coston, teacher
of Boise, and Mrs. Levi Young OF
Moscow, Our president is, of course
valuable member Of this committee
We at once wrote to Colorado for
information and the reply was very
satisfactory, telling us of their plans
etc. Up to that time they had loaned
some $1,000, not one cent of which
was lost or was what might be called
a bad debt. They included not only
the state university, but all other
educational institutions, loaning tc
all young men and women in the
state who were working their way
through school, and presented the
necessary endorsements.
The committee drew up the fol
lowing rules and regulations which
were submitted to the executive
board, and adopted. ] hope you viii
give your very careful attention as i
Is the wish Of the committee thai
each delegate report his work to hel
club as fully as possible.
