At the beginning of the Bicentennial Campaign, the late Charles M. Tidmarch, Prof. of Political Science, talked about the scholarship tradition at Union.
“One of the things I appreciate about the founding of Union is the democratic impulses that made this college different from most other early American colleges. True to the spirit that had brought forth a new nation, the founders of Union were determined to avoid narrow sectarian interest. The children of farmers were welcome as the children of ministers and patroons.
“Thankfully the College is as committed today as it was in 1795 to bringing together a blend of competent, highly motivated, young persons from varying backgrounds. Looking toward the next century, I am convinced that generous scholarship support for students who need it is the key to our future. When we help a student in this fashion, we also help our community, our nation, and our world.
“The prime consideration in accepting a student at Union is-and must remain-the ability to benefit from a Union education. We are fortunate that so many alumni and friends share this belief.”
