The story of Edward Rector and his historic scholarship program is that of a brilliant and farsighted philanthropist. Rector saw education as a key to improving the lives of youth and their ability to contribute to society as adults. Denied a college dedication himself because of poverty in his early years, he resolved to help gifted youth in similar circumstances were he able to do so in later years. And so he could, and did, when as a Chicago patent lawyer he accumulated a large fortune for his time. DePauw University, a small liberal arts school in Greencastle, Indiana was the fortunate recipient of Rector's vision and generosity. His most notable donation came in 1919 with an endowment for 100 full-tuition four-year scholarships annually for academically bright young men from Indiana high schools. It was one of the largest gifts in history to a small college, and when he died in 1925 his will bequeathed a second, even larger amount. And importantly, Rector not only provided money but also devoted his personal time and effort to the utmost in nurturing the scholarship program and its student recipients as their numbers grew. This volume tells of Rector's remarkable philanthropy during his lifetime - what he termed as his "investments in humanity" - and also importantly, follows through with an account of how the program fared through the balance of the 20th century.
