Avery Scholarship List, 1879-98
“Additional colored students - that is, students helped from the Avery Fund as recorded in the Treasurer’s Journal. Compiled Feb. 28, 1934, checked in files Oct.1935.”
As noted in footnote 19 of the 2002 Introduction, Rev. Charles Avery, founder of the Avery Institute in Pittsburgh, Pa., left a specific bequest to Oberlin College to aid "indigent and worthy colored students" in 1864. Previously, as early as 1849, he gave $1,000 for this purpose. The first beneficiary was Amelia Freeman. Individual entries of scholarship aid can be found in the Journals of the Records of the Office of the Treasurer.
