Omaha Man Cited for Gifts
To Health Science Education
A retired Nebraska trucking executive has given more than
$ 17,000 to Loma Linda University in the past year, officials dis
closed today.
Henry C. Ogram, of Omaha, designated the money for student
loan funds at the University. He ____________________
is the former president of Union
Freightways.
Ogram shuns publicity about
the gifts, saying he hopes only
to help educate young people in
the various disciplines of the
healing arts. " In addition, these
donations are given in memory
of my mother, who spent most
of her life helping those in
need," he explains.
Earlier this year the Univer
sity honored donors in a special
campus ceremony, but Ogram
declined the invitation to at
tend the public event.
Students in all the University
schools are eligible to borrow
from the loan funds to which
the current gifts were applied.
They begin repayment of the
loans one year after graduation,
except for students in the
School of Medicine, who begin
repayment one year after com
pletion of a medical internship.
Most students aided by the
funds are engaged in studies
related to health, according to
Robert G. Manuel, director of
student finance.
The University has offered
programs of study in the health
sciences since 1905. In recent
years' offerings have broadened
to include programs leading to
master's and doctoral degrees
in the basic sciences and liberal
arts.
