community, Carroll is blessed to have a generous network of friends
who believe in the value of a Carroll education, and chose to make
investments to help students who have a passion for learning.
The importance of scholarships and financial aid cannot be
overstated. More than 98 percent of current Carroll students receive
some type of financial assistance. Scholarships can make the
difference not only in whether a student attends college, but also
whether the student remains. This listing shares the stories of the
people behind the scholarships, and their affinity for Carroll. Many of
these scholarships are established as endowed funds, providing a
permanent income stream for annual scholarships that the university
can rely on. These endowed funds carry on the name of the donor
and create a personal legacy.
As you read through this catalog, you will come to realize we
are connected. There is a common thread that binds each of us
to one another. From generations past to today, the people of
Carroll – the stories we share, the memories we hold and the
education gained – is what keeps the spirit of Carroll alive. We
celebrate the generosity and the legacy these individuals have made

Class of 1941 Scholarship Fund
Established by the Class of 1941 in 1991 as a 50th reunion gift.
Weldon “Ted” Clarke arrived at Carroll to pursue his dream of becoming a physical education
teacher. Halfway through his junior year, he had to leave because he could no longer afford
tuition and his living expenses. Clarke, who would have graduated in the class of 1939, came
to Carroll from Madison, Wis. Carroll seemed like a natural choice for Clarke, as his brother
Robert graduated in 1937, and father Finch, a Presbyterian minister, graduated in 1908. During
Ted’s time at Carroll, he was active in athletics and social clubs. He ran the 100-yard dash in
10.2 seconds. He was also a member of the Phi Theta Pi fraternity. To help other financially
strapped students, he created the Clarke Family Endowed Scholarship Fund to help prevent
future students from encountering a dilemma similar to the one he found himself in. Ted died in
2003, and his close friend Larry continues to be active with the fund.

Lugt was inaugurated as Carroll’s president and the United
States entered World War II. Those 91 students went on
to lead productive careers and lives. In 1991, efforts for

career as a school counselor at Nicolet High School, followed by a return to her alma mater,
South Milwaukee High School, where she worked for 25 years before retiring in 1989. She
credits Carroll for teaching her how to learn and deal with people, which helped her in every

Humphrey Foundation Scholarship Fund
Established by the Glenn and Gertrude Humphrey Foundation in 1985.
John T. Hsu ‘53 is one of the few musicians in the world considered a virtuoso player of the viola da gamba, a bowed, stringed musical instrument developed in the mid-late 15th century used
primarily in the Renaissance and Baroque periods; and the rare baryton, viewed as a sort of
augmented bass viol, distinguished by an extra set of plucked strings. He actively researches
the early compositions of Joseph Haydn, 18th century Austrian composer, and recreates the
music’s delicate beauty. His efforts have won acclaim from both the public and critics. He
has performed around the world, from New York’s Lincoln Center to the Esterhazy Palace in
Austria. John came to Carroll on a scholarship from Shanghai, China, in 1949. Although he did
not graduate, he fondly recalls his time on campus. He completed his education at the New
England Conservatory of Music. During his career, he was professor of humanities and music
at Cornell University, conductor of the Apollo Ensemble, and founder and member of the Haydn
Baryton Trio. Hsu established this scholarship to provide assistance to students demonstrating

Bud Hudson Scholarship for Chemistry
Established in 2000 by alumni, faculty, family and friends to honor Bud Hudson, professor
emeritus at Carroll.
Dr. Earl “Bud” Hudson, professor emeritus of chemistry, began his career at Carroll in 1970.
He earned his doctorate at the University of Illinois and served one year as a Danforth Teaching Intern at Earlham College. In addition to teaching biochemistry and overseeing the Work
Internship Program for many years, Hudson taught introductory classes like “Science and
Society” and “Food and People.” The former was one of the first team-taught, interdisciplinary
courses at Carroll and was representative of the educational innovations Hudson brought to the
classroom. He was also instrumental in establishing the cross-cultural experiences for students
in Guatemala, Nepal and Kenya. For many students, those opportunities abroad were one of
the highlights of their Carroll experience. He received a Fulbright Scholarship in 1986 to study
vitamin A in Guatemala, and the Benjamin F. Richason Jr. Faculty Award in 1989. Both Hudson
and professor emeritus Dr. Richard Watkins were known as the heart and soul of the chemistry
department for a combined total of 54 years. Upon their retirement in 2000, scholarships were

Grandfather Jameson Endowed Scholarship Fund
Established through the estate of Dr. Patricia M. Jameson ‘61 in 2011.
Irene Ilgen’s favorite memory of Carroll is campus in the fall, and she looks back on her student
days with great fondness. A native of Green Lake, Wis., she grew up on her family’s farm.
Irene studied biology and was active in Beta Beta Beta, Kappa Gamma Phi, and was named a
“Hinky Honey.” After graduation in 1942, she taught science courses to G.I.s during the war.
It was during that time she met her husband Joseph. She and Joe built their home and settled
in Madison, Wis. They had two children and Irene enjoyed working for more than 25 years in
the Department of Zoology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Irene remains a loyal and
generous alumna. She served on the Carroll Alumni Council, helping shape, implement and
assess activities of interest to current and future alumni. She established this scholarship to
support students demonstrating financial need with preference to females who grew up on a
farm or in a farming community.
Dr. Patricia M. Jameson ‘61 received scholarship aid as a Carroll student, but by the time she
was a senior, the only way she was able to fulfill her financial obligation was through the help
of her grandfather, Alvi E. Jameson. Alvi was an engineer for 50 years with the Northwestern
Railway. Pat always admired her grandfather’s passion and dedication to his career, and she
inherited a similar drive and ambition. Pat graduated in 1961 with a major in biology and minor in
chemistry. She enjoyed a professional career as both a scientist and librarian. She was a faculty
member at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and in 1988, she switched fields and began a

Established through the estate of Elizabeth Jandt ‘29 in 1995.
Immanuel Presbyterian Church Scholarship Fund
Established by members of Immanuel Presbyterian Church in 1991.
Like the multitude of small Midwestern colleges founded before the Civil War, Carroll was the
product of both religious enthusiasm to Christianize the frontier and the long-standing American
belief in the vital relationship between education and democracy. From its early days, Carroll
was affiliated with the Wisconsin Synod of the Presbyterian Church and received its financial
support. Of all the competing denominations that pushed westward in the 1800s, the Presbyterians were the most ardent and successful in building new churches, schools and colleges. This
affiliation with the Church continues to remain an important and valued relationship for Carroll.
Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Milwaukee, Wis., and its congregation has long been devoted
supporters of Carroll and its continued success. This scholarship was established under the
leadership of Rev. William H. Johnstone, former pastor of Immanuel Presbyterian Church and
member of the Carroll Board of Trustees from 1972-1993, to provide financial assistance with
preference to members of the congregation in Milwaukee. If no qualified candidates exist,
awards are given to students of the Presbyterian faith. Rev. Deborah Block ‘74, current pastor
of Immanuel Presbyterian Church, and the congregation continue to be active with the fund.

to support creative initiatives in community development and education that enhance the quality
of life in Janesville, Wis. Wanting to inspire the larger Carroll community to become involved,
the Janesville Foundation initiated a match to establish this endowment connecting alumni and

nursing home model to a retirement living community. He was the guiding force behind the project,
did much of its fundraising and continued as chaplain for the senior community. As a student, he
toiled at making ends meet to pay for college on his own. He realized the importance of a college
education and valued his own formative experience at Carroll. After his death in 1986, his wife Mildred made provisions to establish a fund in their name to support students, with preference to those

Donald and Candace Lambie Scholarship Fund
Established by Donald and Candace Lambie in 1987.
Don and Candace Lambie held a strong belief that investing in young people was critical to our
future. Their intention in establishing this fund was to provide encouragement to students to
make the most of their college years, and to emerge with a strong liberal arts education, ready
to begin a role of leadership in society. Don and Candace lived in Lincoln, Neb., and Mason
City, Iowa, before moving to Grinnell, Iowa, in 1952. Don was treasurer and vice president
for business at Grinnell College. The motivation of their generosity to Carroll was part of their
support to Presbyterian colleges in the Synod of Lakes and Prairies. Provisions through the
Lambies’ estate established this fund, recognizing students who show superior academic ability, diverse interests and communication skills.

Carroll received an unexpected bequest from the estate of Robert W. Leaf in 2007. Mr. Leaf
was an Oconomowoc, Wis., resident who died at age 97. Not having any children or family,
he named several organizations in his estate that he cared about. He outlined his desire to
establish an endowment fund to support Carroll’s music program. This scholarship in his name
provides assistance to qualified students studying music.
Charles and Eloise Lomas Endowed Scholarship Fund
Established through the estate of Charles ‘29 and Eloise ‘30 Lomas in 2009.
Charles ‘29 and Eloise ‘30 Lomas are yet another great
story of a couple who met at Carroll. Charles was a Green
Bay, Wis., native who came to Carroll to study English. During his tenure as a student, he was president of the YMCA,
track team captain, Varsity “C”, and member of the Student
Senate, debate and oratory clubs. Eloise studied Latin, and
was a member of Kappa Sigma Delta, Lambda Psi, Beta Chi
Charles and Eloise Lomas
Theta, Carroll Players, Echo staff, and the glee club. Following graduation, Charles taught for six years at Waukesha
High School, where he also coached track and cross country. He was an educator for more than 40
years. He taught speech at the University of Pittsburgh, Stanford University, University of Michigan,
and served as chief propaganda analyst at the U.S. Office of War Information in San Francisco. In
1947, the couple settled in the Los Angeles area, where Charles had a 28-year tenure at UCLA as a
department chair and professor of speech. In 1982, Charles was inducted into Carroll’s Athletics Hall
of Fame, recognizing his athletic achievement in track. Together, Charles and Eloise had three children
and six great-grandchildren. Wanting to give back to their alma mater, they made provisions in their
estate to establish this scholarship fund. They passed away in 1999, providing aid to students in the
field of communication.
Ralph and Kathy Ley Scholarship
Funded through the generosity of Ralph and Kathleen (McCormick) ‘65 Ley.
Carroll was a part of Kathy’s life long before it was time for
her to go to college. Her father F. J. “Mickey” McCormick
started as Carroll’s athletic director and football coach
in 1949. His office was in Ganfield, and she spent many
days playing in the gym with her sisters. Mickey became
ill in 1958 and died that August, but the college honored
its promise to provide tuition for children of employees.
Ralph and Kathy Ley in 2011
Kathy has many fond memories of Carroll as a Chi Omega
sister, and as a student double majoring in elementary education and geography. Her Carroll
education prepared her well for a career as a teacher for more than 25 years. When Kathy and
her husband Ralph were financially able to do some philanthropic work, Carroll was at the top
of their list. Ralph and Kathy provide scholarships to support outstanding students majoring in
nursing or physical therapy with preference to those who also have an internship or part-time
job in the field.

Ohland ‘49 and Martha ‘50 Liessmann deeply cared for the future of Carroll, and made the decision
to establish two scholarships in their names to pay tribute to their alma mater. Marty was a 1950
graduate majoring in English, and minoring in speech and Spanish. She was a member of Chi Omega,
Theta Alpha Pi, Hinkaga staff and Carroll Players. Ohland studied economics with a minor in Spanish
and religious studies. He was also an active student as a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon, Lambda Psi,
Spanish Club, business manager of the Echo, Interfraternity Council, and the Economics Club. Ohland
led a successful career as a real estate appraiser. He quickly rose the ranks at the American Appraisal Company, joining the firm in 1952 and retiring in 1992 as vice president and senior consultant.
His expertise was in the field of hotel and casino appraisal, and his job included many trips to Italy,
Venezuela, Japan, Bahamas and Mexico. The scholarship established in Martha’s name provides
support, with preference to adult students majoring in computer science, while the scholarship in
Ohland’s name provides aid to students majoring in business administration.
For Katherine Luck ‘76, one of the greatest benefits of her Carroll education was that it provided a
foundation for a successful professional life, no matter what discipline or path she would take. Kathy
was a political science major with a minor in German. One of the highlights of her Carroll experience
was participating in a cross-cultural trip to Russia. That experience opened her eyes to a different culture and helped shape her views on the world. After graduating in 1976, Kathy worked in a variety of
sectors, including government, accounting and business. In 2007, she switched careers completely,
working as a children’s librarian at a local library. Believing in the importance of a college education
and valuing her own Carroll experience, Kathy gives to current scholarships to help other students.

As a child of the depression, Don Manecke ‘39 learned the value of
hard work. Don, a business and economics major, was the youngest of
four children and the only member of his family to attend college. With
full class loads, Don worked his way through school washing windows,
cutting grass and working as a janitor. He was actively involved on the
tennis team, class president, Pi Gamma Mu, interfraternity council, and
Phi Theta Pi. However, the best thing that happened to Don at Carroll
was that he met his wife, Dorothy (Anderson) Manecke ’39, a history
and biology major. According to the Maneckes, “Giving is what matDon and Dorothy in 2001
ters. The more we live, the more we should give.” Don served on the
first Alumni Council at Carroll, was a member of the Board of Trustees
in the 1970s, organized class reunions, and was a faithful contributor to the annual fund. Together, the
Maneckes established this scholarship to help students with financial need in their schooling giving

Alicia ‘72 and John ‘71 McCareins came from two very
different backgrounds. Alicia was born and raised in
Trinidad in the West Indies. At the age of 15, she moved
to the U.S., joining her sister’s family in Milwaukee before
attending Carroll. John was raised in Libertyville, Ill., an
affluent northern suburb in the Chicagoland area. John and
Alicia met as students when John came up to Alicia during
Alicia and John McCareins in 2011
dinner one night, and asked if she wanted to go to a party
together. They were a couple ever since. Alicia majored in
English, Spanish and psychology, and went to receive her master’s and doctoral degrees from
Northwestern University’s School of Law. She was a professor at Northwestern University
before starting her own consulting firm providing organizational development and program
evaluation for clients. John majored in economics, and went on to receive his master’s in business from DePaul University in Chicago. He is currently the executive managing director and
chief marketing officer for an investment firm in Illinois. They believe Carroll provided them a
solid educational foundation that supported their successful professional careers. Wanting to
provide opportunities for more students to better afford their college education, Alicia and John
annually give to current scholarships supporting the next generation of global citizens.

Creating a memorial that bears the name of a loved one provides a lasting legacy of the special
people in one’s life. William and Jeannette (Williams) McCaughey were married in November
1934. They went on to enjoy 65 years of loving marriage together. Bill was a hardworking,
devoted family man who began his career at National Cash Register, and retired in 1975 from
Milwaukee Engine and Equipment. Jane enjoyed a banking career with First National Bank of
Waukesha. Their son, Paul ‘69, and daughter-in-law Sally ‘89, were both Carroll graduates—

Bill died in 2000, Jeannette and the McCaughey family established this scholarship because
of their affinity to the college, and to help future students enjoy a Carroll experience. The McCaughey Scholarship supports students demonstrating financial need with preference to those
from Waukesha County or southeastern Wisconsin majoring in business administration.
In 1894, several small water power concerns on the Wisconsin River organized to form the
Consolidated Water Power Company. Eight years later, the company expanded its operations
to include the manufacturing of paper, changing its name to Consolidated Water Power & Paper
Company. Over the next century, Consolidated Papers—now acquired and run by Stora Enso
Oyj is the leading North American producer of coated printing papers used for magazines,
brochures, annual reports, as well as catalogs, newspaper inserts, and direct mailings. They
also make specialty papers used in the packaging and labeling of food and consumer products.
In 1951, George W. Mead I, chairman of Consolidated Papers at the time, established a charitable foundation. Consolidated Papers Foundation, now known as the Mead Witter Foundation,
supporting local community causes, youth and social service agencies, fine and performing
arts, and other cultural programs throughout the state. They generously provided funds to
Carroll in 1999 to add a reading room to the Todd Wehr Memorial Library and in 2007 established this scholarship. Mead Witter Foundation has a long history of supporting private liberal

Leadership comes in various forms of time, talent and treasures. Alice Crofts Morava ’52 is a
loyal alumna of the school who devoted all three to her alma mater. As a student, Alice was a
member of Beta Chi Theta and a founding member of Alpha Gamma Delta in 1952. She was a
history major and served in student senate, Associated Woman’s Society, and was prom queen
in 1951. She was the first of her six siblings to go to college. Most notable of her time at
Carroll, she met her husband Bob Morava ‘52. Bob was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon, and
a business administration major. Together after graduation, they built the business, Stuart W.
Johnson & Co., Inc. in Lake Geneva, Wis., an equipment and supplies company to the food and
dairy industries. Alice remained connected with Carroll serving on the Alumni Council in 1988,
and in 1990 she began her tenure on the Carroll Board of Trustees. Supporting the Carroll
experience was always important to Alice and Bob, and they supported the school’s mission in
any way they could. In 1987, after a courageous battle with cancer, Bob passed away. Paying
tribute to their courtship, and in loving memory of his spirit, Alice established a scholarship fund
in her husband’s name supporting upperclassmen pursuing a major in economics, business
administration or accounting. Participation in extra-curricular activities, particularly those of a
community service nature is also preferred in the awarding process. Several years later, Alice
also established a scholarship in her name providing students majoring in elementary education
of junior or senior status support to continue their studies at Carroll.
Lydia Morgan Scholarship Fund
Established by Lydia E. Morgan in 1960.
In 1895, George H. Wilbur, founder of Wilbur Lumber Company, built a new home sited at the
southeast corner of College and East Avenues in Waukesha. Over the course of the next
100 years, the house became part of the Carroll campus. In 1927, Lydia E. Morgan donated
money to the college to buy and remodel the building which was later named Morgan Manor.
Many versions of stories about ghosts haunting the former Morgan Manor (now MacAllister
Hall) circulated on campus in the 1970s. Some of those were related to the ghost of Lydia
Morgan, despite the fact she never lived in the house. As part of her estate, additional funds
were provided to Carroll to establish this scholarship in her name providing general scholarship
assistance to worthy students at Carroll.
N.F. Morley Scholarship Fund
Established by N.F. Morley in 1947.
As Wisconsin’s oldest chartered college, the Carroll College of 1846 represented the hopes
of the early settlers that their community would lead the way in civilizing and Christianizing the
Wisconsin frontier. Like many other Wisconsin colleges facing tough economic hardship during
that time, Carroll found it a necessity to secure denominational support to ensure its continued
viability. In November 1849, the Carroll Board of Trustees petitioned the Presbytery of Wisconsin to have Carroll adopted as a Synod school. It is this affiliation and relationship with the
Presbyterian Church that prompted and nurtured many future benefactors to Carroll. N.F.
Morley left his estate to Carroll through the church offering scholarship assistance to be given
to students studying for the ministry.

provides a regular stream of income for a beneficiary and upon their
death the remainder is left to the designated charity. Jean decided this

Carroll is a campus community where friendships are made, and memories are shared. There
are many bonds that keep this campus a very special place. We are blessed to have many
family legacies on campus with scores of families who have proud generations of members
who have come through Carroll. This scholarship honors the legacy of the Nanz family—and its
patriarch, Dr. Ralph S. Nanz, longtime professor of biology at Carroll and an Episcopal priest;
his wife Helen Margaret Nanz; his sister Ruth L. Nanz; and his son Robert W. Nanz ‘51. The
fund was established through the thoughtful generosity of Robert Nanz’s former wife, Miriam
K. Stauff, and their sons, Robert W. Nanz Jr., Theodore Bryant-Nanz, and Stephen R. Nanz,
along with other family members and friends. This award is provided to an outstanding student
demonstrating financial need, and high academic rating majoring in the physical sciences or
religious studies. Dr. Ralph Nanz was very active in the national chapter of Beta Beta Beta,
a society dedicated to improving the understanding and appreciation of biological study and
extending boundaries of human knowledge through scientific research. This award pays tribute
to his service at Carroll, and the many ties that his family has to the Carroll campus.

Neilsville Presbyterian Church Scholarship Fund
Established by the members of the Neilsville Presbyterian Church in 1947.
Clark County, Wis., was an uninhabited wilderness when pioneer James O’Neill, and his party
came from Black River Falls in an oxen drawn wagon cutting the first road into the county.
By 1850, 50 acres of land had been cleared by O’Neill; and in April of 1855, he appropriated
four acres of land for the village—Neilsville, named in his honor. Neillsville is located in West
Central Wisconsin, about 50 miles southeast of Eau Claire and 25 miles west of Marshfield.
This scholarship was established by the former congregation at Neilsville Presbyterian Church
(which is no longer in existence) to aid a worthy student at Carroll preparing for religious work.
Dorothy Mundschau grew up on Milwaukee’s south side. For most of her adult life she worked
for Milwaukee County, carrying out a variety of accounting and auditing functions. She died in
November 1994, and through provisions in her estate created a fund at the Greater Milwaukee
Foundation to support scholarships for female students. Carroll annually receives support

University of Wisconsin-Madison, they both continued to remain close to Carroll throughout
the years. Cecil majored in commerce and business, and was a very active, well-liked student
participating in Phi Theta Pi, Phi Kappa Delta, debate club, Carroll Players, intramurals, and
the football and track teams. Following graduation, the Nickels lived in Traverse City, Mich.
Cecil was an insurance agent for his company, Nickel Agency; and was a special agent for the
FBI. Though they never came back to campus to visit, their hearts never left. Cecil valued the
scholarship aid he received as a student, the friendships made; and importantly, the enduring
values Carroll instilled in him. They established this scholarship to provide critical scholarship
support to worthy students. Cecil died in 2003 at the age of 89; and Agnes in 2009 at the age
of 94. Provisions through their estate supported the growth of their fund.

Stuart and Marilyn Olin Scholarship Fund
Established by Stuart ‘57 and Marilyn ‘58 Olin in 2006.
Eugene L. Noth ‘65 received scholarship support during his time as a student at Carroll.
When he had the chance, he knew he wanted to give back to make that opportunity available
to others. Eugene graduated magna cum laude from Carroll in 1965. He majored in physics
and mathematics, and went on to lead a successful career in aerospace engineering at TRW,
an American based company focused on providing products and services with high technology or engineering content to the automotive, space and defense markets. TRW was the
primary source of systems engineering for the U.S. Air Force ballistic missile programs during
its existence. Noth retired from the company in 1994, and is currently enjoying retirement.
Because of Gene’s continued vested interest in the future of Carroll, he established the Noth
Scholarship to support full-time students demonstrating financial need with preference to those
majoring in physics or chemistry.
It was 1954 when Stuart Olin ‘57 met Marilyn Osterling ‘58.
They had classes together, but it wasn’t until a Tau Kappa
Epsilon pool party that they became an official couple. Stu
majored in economics and was on the student senate.
Marilyn double majored in psychology and sociology, was a
cheerleader, in the Carroll Players, and was president of the
Spanish Club. Both were on junior prom court and active

manager of investments for Northwestern Mutual; vice president in institutional securities sales
for First Boston Company; and vice president and assistant U.S. manager of investment for
the Zurich-American Insurance Companies, the 42nd largest property and casualty insurance
company in the country at the time. The Olins stayed connected to Carroll when their sons,
Jeff ‘84 and Scott ‘93, enrolled. Because of that special connection, Stuart and Marilyn took
the opportunity to establish this scholarship for students with financial need. Marilyn had
received scholarships when she was a student, and wanted to make that opportunity possible
for future generations.

Harry V. Quadracci has been celebrated as much for his printing industry accomplishments
as for his forward-thinking management philosophies. Using a $35,000 second mortgage on

and Pine River schools in Wausau, Wis. She was a lifelong member of the First Presbyterian
Church, of which her mother was the charter member. Her husband, Samuel Quaw, was a
Civil War hero participating in the siege of Vicksburg and the second battle at Jackson, Miss.
He was also extensively involved in the lumber industry serving as president of Quaw Lumber
Company. He later became president of the Citizens State Bank of Wausau. Through the
Quaws’ active participation in the Church, they established this scholarship to provide aid to
students from the Wausau area. The First Presbyterian Church in Wausau remains active in
the administration of the fund.
The Rankin family and their connection to Carroll goes back to the school’s early years of
inception. It was 1865 when William Alexander, acting president for Carroll, had offered his
resignation, and the trustees began a search for a new leader who could oversee Carroll’s
postwar reconstruction. Walter Lowrie Rankin was recommended for the post. Rankin was
born in Allahabad, India, and was only 25 years old when he came to Waukesha to resurrect
Carroll from early struggles to remain a viable college. He went on to devote over 40 years
to the reconstruction of Carroll laying a foundation for growth and prosperity of the college.
As a member of the First Presbyterian Church, Rankin met his future wife, Mary Jane Nickell,
through their Presbyterian choir. Together, they lived in the house which still stands on the
northeast corner of East Avenue and McCall Street. Mary would teach music at Carroll, and
later their daughter—May Nickell Rankin would become chair of the oratory department, serve
as Carroll’s first woman professor, and oversee the Carroll Players—the first student dramatic
group in Wisconsin. Of the Rankin family, the family legacy continues with the establishment
of this scholarship in the name of Annie Rankin. This award provides critical aid to worthy
students honoring this great family lineage at Carroll.

Ida Belle Ringling Scholarship Fund
Established through the estate of Ida Belle Ringling in 1966.
Louise Salzmann Rowe and John O. Rowe Scholarship Fund
Established by Louise ‘49 and John ‘50 Rowe in 1996.
The Ringling brothers were seven siblings who transformed their small touring company of performers into one of America’s largest circuses in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They
merged their Ringling Brothers Circus with America’s other leading circus troupes, ultimately
creating the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, which still tours today under their
name. Ida Belle Ringling was married to Henry Ringling, the youngest of the Ringling brothers.
Because of Carroll’s affiliation with the Presbyterian Church, Carroll received a bequest through
Ida Belle Ringling’s estate to support Presbyterian students attending Carroll, preferably from
the Baraboo area where the Ringling family was raised.
Carroll is more than a collection of buildings, and schedule of classes. It is a place where lives
are transformed through study, conversation, exploration, and friendships. Carroll provided that
unique experience for Louise (Salzmann) ‘49 and John ‘50 Rowe—it is also the place where
they met and fell in love. John was a business administration major with a minor in music. Louise majored in music with a minor in Spanish. Louise enjoyed her student days active in Delta

degree in history. Phillip annually contributes to current scholarships in his father’s honor
providing support to outstanding psychology students.

Dr. Scholl Foundation Scholarship Fund for Nursing
Established by the Dr. Scholl Foundation in 1987.
The Dr. Scholl Foundation was established by Dr. William M. Scholl in 1947. It is a charitable, grantmaking foundation created from the success of the business Scholl founded, the
Scholl Manufacturing Company. Scholl was born into a family of 13 children in 1882, the
son of Indiana dairy farmers. On that small farm, he learned the values of a strong work ethic
combined with compassion for the less fortunate. He left the farm at age 16 to apprentice in
a shoemaker’s shop, where he noted the number of customers who complained of foot pain
and discomfort. Intrigued by the ailments of the foot, he attended Illinois Medical College, now
Loyola University, and earned his medical degree in 1904. He never practiced medicine; but
over the next 50 years, he built a great corporation out of the simple belief that “when your
feet hurt, you hurt all over.” The Dr. Scholl Foundation continues his legacy by providing aid to
organizations that improve our communities. This endowed scholarship fund was established

Schindler received a scholarship, and was able to transfer to Carroll and
complete his studies. He graduated in 1941 with a major in economics

Bill’s senior photo
When Adolph and Mary Yersin graduated from high school during the Great Depression, the
cost of college was simply beyond their financial means. They went on to find jobs that paid
subsistence wages, but scrimped, saved, and ran a part-time insurance business during their
early married years to make sure they could afford to send their son, William, to college.
William Yersin ‘63 attended Carroll majoring in business administration. He was an active
member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, Alpha Kappa Psi, and the wrestling team. In 2006,
the Yersin family decided they wanted to provide the opportunity for a financially strapped and
academically qualified applicant to be able to receive a college degree. They wanted to help
someone who was in the same sort of circumstances they faced. That generous motivation
prompted the establishment of the Adolph G. Yersin Full Tuition Scholarship providing a full-tuition scholarship to an incoming freshman with promise. Students demonstrating financial need
and majoring in one of the sciences, health sciences, technology or business are considered in
the selection process. Adolph G. and Mary A. Yersin, and their son, William B. Yersin ‘63 provided the generous funding for this scholarship. This honored award may be renewable based
on merit, academics and continued need. William remains an active alumnus, and continues to
be active in helping support worthy students at his alma mater.
