(By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
NEW HAVEN, Conn.— Former
service men who received scholar
ships from the Knights of Colum
bus in post-war days have fared
well in this world, a check-up of
their records show's. Of 440 vet
erans who were given free schol
arships in 39 American colleges
and universities, one heads a law
college, several have progressed
far in the consular service and
others are making their mark in
the business, financial and profes
sional fields.
Only 31 of these men, of all
races, creeds and conditions, failed
to make scholastic grades and were
dropped from their courses. Few
of them had received a college pre
paratory education.
Final figures on the Knights of
Columbus free correspondence and
evening schools indicate that 125,-
942 ex-service men living in twelve
countries after the war took ad
vantage of the eighty-nine courses
offered by the order and financed
from the funds collected for war
welfare work.
