Description
In June 1989 the class of 1937 and class of 1939 created two new endowments in honor of the late Ruth Henline. Ruth Henline was a member of the English Department faculty from 1926-1970, serving as the advisor to the Class of 1939 for four years. Both funds supported scholarships for education majors interested in teaching English. In 1992 the funds were combined into one fund to support scholarships for English education majors. Assets of this endowment are invested in the Illinois State University Endowment Investment Pool.
