DAILY NEBRASKAN Friday, April 18, 19411 Warner creates loan fund in memory of friend J for benefit of ag students Student health Debate- (Continued from Page 1.) directors meet here tomorrow From half way around the world, a few days go, came a check that will help students get a college education in years to come all because one such stu dent received aid from a friend 10 years ago. That is the story behind crea tion of the Chester Woodman student loan fund at the college of agriculture. Out of Allahabad, India, through the hands of a war-time censor, came a letter from James Warner to Prof. L. K. Crowe, asking that the loan fund be established in memory of his friend. Was 4-H member. As Warner begins the story, he had been a 4-H club member in Scottsbluff county, and in 1927 he reiceived a Union Pacific 4-H scholarship. He was unable to en ter college immediately, and the expiration date was set ahead. By September of 1931 he was barely able to scrape up $50 in addition to the scholarship. He was debating whether to en ter college with such limited funds when Chester Woodman of Mor rill his own plans to become a medical missionary interrupted by illness called Warner to his bed side, and offered him help from his small disability income. Loaned $150. With loans from Woodman to talling $150, Warner entered the agricultural college that fall and received news of his friend's death before the school year was over. But he went on with his educa tion and was graduated in 1936. Then came an industrial scholar ship to pay the expenses of one year of graduate work. Later on, Wamer went to India where he is now a professor of dairying at the Allahabad agri cultural institute, operated under the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian church. At six percent interest, the loan from Woodman gradually built up to a total of $235 at the first of this year. Woodman's relatives re fused to accept repayment, how ever. At last. Warner hit upon the plan of repaying the money into a memorial fund. In his letter to Prof. Crowe he explained. "I pro pose to return the help I received from Chester Woodman in such a way that it will help others. I am sure he would have me do it this way. "In appreciation of kindness." "It is thus in appreciation of his kindness and encouragement, and in memory of a sincere friend that I make available the Chester Woodman loan fund to students of the college of agriculture. May each of the recipients be as deep ly conscious of its value as I have been. "May it help them to attain much of that which they feel is cf value in life, as I feel it has helped me. And may they always remember that it comes not from one who has only used it for awhile, but from one who gave it with the hope that it would give great and durable benefits. It has done so and I can not use them alL" A personal note from Warner to Prof. Crowe revealed that he was married last May to Miss Cleone Brookins, a graduate of Iowa State college. A son-in-law of world-famous Dr. E. Stanley Jones performed the ceremony, in Bombay. For their honeymoon, the Warners lived for a month in a house boat on the canals, rivers and lakes of the Kashmir valley, renowned for its beauty, and made an 11 day trek to the head of the Kolahoi glacier, near 17,000 foot Kolahoi peak.
