Columbus Firm Members Pledge Scholarship Endowment
Members
of the Columbus law firm Gholson, Hicks & Nichols have joined the
Lamar Order and pledged $41,000 in membership fees to establish a scholarship
endowment.
Speaking on behalf of the firm, member Hunter M. Gholson ('55) said, "All
of our attorneys except one are graduates of the Ole Miss Law School,
and we desired to do something to express our appreciation for the legal
education we received."
The first three-year scholarship from the Gholson, Hicks & Nichols
Endowment will be awarded in fall 2003. "We hope the awards will
help some students who might not otherwise be able to attend law school,"
Gholson said.
