I am now, however, able to enter university, and perhaps manhood, on my own two feet.” FrankClayden of Richmond says: “I am very grateful for the investment that you havemade in my future through your contribution to my edu- cation. It is difficult for a studentto realize and appreciate the true value of ascholarship before having a chance to actuallymake use of the money. Therefore I cannot truly tell you how much your contribution means to me. However, I hope that my effort at the university,more thanany letter of thanks, will serve as a reminder of my appreciation of your assistance.” DennisDong, North Burnaby, is anotherwho hopes thathis perfor- mance will be the best expression of histhanks. “Without this scholarship I wouldhave been unableto attend The University of British Columbia. I will do my best at university to uphold the honour that has been bestowed on me. I am very grateful to you and your Dr. Macdonald with Elizabeth Bradley association for this scholarship.”
