Ten Real Big Ones

I'm working on another post about the participation rates, but I saw this at the Optimist web site and was mightily impressed. Ten million dollars for scholarships for grad students in theology = 50 full-ride scholarships.

God bless Lacy and Dorothy Harber for their generosity.

I considered for a selfish moment grinching about how the GST gets all the nice stuff, but since we're supposed to put our relationship with God ahead of our vocation, I guess it doesn't seem unreasonable to do the same in terms of scholarships, and it's the Harber's money to do with what they will. I mean, they could have built another building instead. There's already a surefit of places to keep the infrequent rain off your head at ACU, it's paying for being there that is the big trick for most people.

I guess it's our job to crank up endowment so the non-GST students at ACU, the majority, also get assistance to be there.
