A Chance Acqu-aintance ...... Leads, To $169,000 Bequest

Edward D. Hemingway was born in England but lived most of his life in Philadelphia. He went to a private school but never attended college, a fact which he seemed to regret.

Early in life he entered the paper business established by his father. He married a Philadelphian who was described as “charming.” Mr. and Mrs. Heming­ way were lovers of nature and outdoor life. Their admiration of the beauties of the State of Maine led them to build a summer home in Washington County to which they came for many years. Ultimately they became citizens of the state.

The Hemingways travelled extensively after retirement. On one of their trips they happened to meet a young Maine alumnus who was working for an advanced degree. Mr. Hemingway attended the Commencement at Maine when this student received his degree. As a result of that interest and the impressions he gained of the University and its students from his rare visits to the campus, he decided he would like to be helpful to the University. * I

When his will was probated in 1950 it was learned that he had left $169,164 to the University to establish the Helen B. Hemingway Fund in memory of his wife The income and principal of this fund may be used at the discretion of the Trustees for scholarship awards to worthy students. The Trustees voted to use the income only for scholarships to be awarded to “worthy and needy” students.

This year 83 students have received Helen B. Hemingway Memorial scholar­ ships. In this way the memories of the Hemingways are being usefully perpetuated. Their names are forever recorded as generous benefactors of the University of Maine.
