H-SU Shares in Ford Gift
Sharing in the Ford Founda-
tion's $ billion grant to Amer-
ica's privately endowed col-
leges and unversities, Hardin-
Simmons University is expect-
ed to receive in excess of $200,-
000 to be used for the purpose
of raising the salaries of its
instructional staff.
Dr. Evan Allard Reiff, uni-
versity president, immediately
expressed H-SU's appreciation
of the beneficence of the foun-
dation, pointing out the faith
that it expressed in privately
endowed colleges and in Chris-

versity had received a check
for $3,500 from Esso Founda-
tion.
Eugene Holman, one of Am-
erica's "Big Men of 1955,"
wrote last week: "The years
I spent at Hardin - Simmons
rank high among the most
formative and constructive pe-
riods of my life. I learned
there to stand on my own feet
and to assume responsibility.
This seems to me to be one
of the great benefits derived
from a liberal education."
