STUDENT LOAN FUND
In the school year of 1920, certain farsighted
Individuals, interested in the welfare of students, brought to the attention of the Board of
Trustees the manifest need for a student loan
fund at the university. Members of the Board
made personal contributions, and with the aid
of interested friends, a sum of of $1,700 was
raised.
Alumid and friends of the university have
added to the fund from time to time, and have
used their influence in getting others to contribute to the fund. The result is that the fund
today is estimated at approximately $25,000.
But the goal has not been reached. The Board
is still faced with the difficulty of distributing
an Inadequate amount among many deserving
students.
The Kernel, in a news story of this issue, reports that requests for loans this year show a 30
per cent increase over other years. This increase may be traced to the business depression. Many students who have been supported
by their parents, have had such support withdrawn.
The industrial depression not only causes a
greater number of requests for student loans,
but it brings about, also, a more widespread
realization of the desirability of such loans.
The depression has not only caused students to
feel that they must continue school in order to
be better fitted for life, but it has brought about
a realization on the part of the leaders of industry that the country as a whole will benefit
by having a larger proportion of its citizens
well educated.
Those who sponsored the loan fund were
shrewd enough to understand that an increasing amount could be obtained only by an appeal for aid on a sound business basis. They
saw that Investments must be made safe and
that the Investments could be made secure only
through careful administration.
In 1924 the
University of Kentucky was one of 13 schools
throughout the country noted for Its careful
administration of student loan funds.
d
and worthy students do not ask
for charity. They want to borrow only on a
business basis. They expect to pay the regular
legal rate of Interest. It Is interesting to note
that, with few exceptions, the committee of
eight members in charge of the distribution of
loans to students has been wise in its selection
of worthy students. Few losses have occurred.
The student loan fund can be Increased only
