sity Scholarship clubs two scholar
ships has begun. This work will hold
the attention of all people interested
In helping young people to train them
selves through education The club
has accomplished a great amount of
good in the past and a wonderful
amount OF work may be expected from
il in the future The purpose OF the
club is to provide each year two
scholarships. one for boy and one for
a girl, for the graduates of the high
school for the first years course in
any university of their selection The
club aims to be an incentive to the
graduates to continue their education
in higher institutions of learning.
The members of the club each pay 81
q year dues and each IS entitled TO a
vote for one candidate. the women
voting for the girls and the men for
the boys. Through a number Of volun-
tary gifts from the public spirited men
and women of FL PasO. a loan fund has
also been established. so that every
year, in addition to the scholarships.
two loan funds, sufficient for one
years work, are given. one TO a boy
and one to a girl The first year at
college is always the hardest for the
limited funds The town is strange
and the student is unacQuainted with
the opportunities Of working to help

of his expenses is also an unknown
quantity. Consequently the University
Scholarship club takes the stand that
helping a student through the first
year will make 1t possible for him to
help himself through the remaining
years OF his university course.
