Walter McClymonds Wales spent many happy summers with his family at Northport. He came to love the town, the people who live there, and the State of Maine. He had never attended the University of Maine, nor, so tar as is known, did he ever visit the campus. Entering the Army as a private in the Infantry in World War II, he was promoted to the rank of sergeant, went overseas in 1942, and died in action in July, 1943

In accordance with a request made by Sergeant Wales before he went overseas, an endowment fund of $25,000, known as the Sergeant Walter McClymonds Wales Scholarship Fund, was established at the University in 1945. The annual income from this fund is used for scholarship aid for students whose character and promise make them worthy of financial assistance in obtaining a college education. Because of Sergeant Wales* love for and interest in Northport, preference is given to stu­ dents from that town. However, if the income from the Fund is not needed for qualified Northport students, it may be used to assist worthy students whose homes are in other Maine communities.

The terms of the gift further provide that especially meritorious young men and women from Northport who have completed their undergraduate education at the University of Maine may be given grants in aid for graduate or professional study at the University or at other institutions.

The University was honored to be chosen as the recipient of this fund in memory of Sergeant Walter McClymonds Wales who loved Northport and Maine, and gave his life in the service of our country.
