Warner creates loan fund
in memory of friend

Student health Debate-

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.
