MICHAEL LEWIS WAGENHEIM SCHOLARSHIP FUND

The President reported on the receipt of a gift of $1500, to be used for the establishment of the MICHAEL LEWIS WAGENHEIM SCHOLARSHIP FUND in honor of the late Michael Lewis Wagenheim, a fourth-year student in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia, who died on 15 October 1965 as a result of an automobile accident. The scholarship is being established through the efforts of Mr. Wagenheim's father, Jack I. Wagenheim of New York City, and his uncle, Michael B. Wagenheim of Norfolk, both of whom are alumni of the University of Virginia. The initial gift of $1500 will be supplemented in 1966 by other persons anxious to contribute to the fund.

• RESOLVED further that the gift of $1500 as an initial payment to be used as the principal of this fund, is hereby gratefully acknowledged and accepted; and
• RESOLVED further that these funds, in accordance with the wishes of the donors, are to be used to support scholarships which are to be awarded to deserving undergraduate third or fourth-year students majoring in English in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia, with preference being given to students engaged or interested in creative writing.
