the  College  for  $5000  to  establish  a  Fellowship  as  a  memorial  to 
your  deceased  father,  Clayton  French.  Permit  me  to  assure  you 
the  appreciation  of  the  Board  for  the  courtesy  you  have  extended

Mrs.  Mary  F.  Banks,  to  be  used  in  establishing  a  Fellowship  in  honor 
of  her  deceased  father,  the  late  Clayton  French. 
"  Resolved,  That  a  marble  tablet  be  erected  in  the  hallway  of 
the  College,  bearing  the  following  inscription : 
"  Resolved,  That  the  Five  Thousand  Dollars  ($5000)  donated 
for  establishing  the  Clayton  French  Fellowship  shall  be  invested  in 
our  mortgage  account,  and  that  the  income  therefrom  shall  be  used 
for  advanced  research  work."
