Scholars and Heroes

Decades ago, WWII hero Lt. Col. (Ret.) Russell Reed ’49, ’50 MA began donating to a scholarship that honored his father, Dr. Rufus Reed, emeritus professor of Chemistry and Physics. Today, Kelly Reed Hoelscher – who followed her father’s footsteps into the military – is continuing the family tradition through her support of the Reed Family Scholarship, proving that scholarship and heroism can go hand in hand.
