Seniors majoring in Economics who received
departmental honors for 1999:
The John V. Baumler Scholarship Fund was
established in 1986 in the memory of John V. Baumler, Professor of Business
and Administrative Studies. Throughout Jack's tenure on the Lewis &
Clark College faculty, both he and his family took special interest in
the College's international students. Over the years, Dr. Baumler and his
family served as hosts to a number of international students enrolled at
the college and became very involved in international program and activities.
Consistent with the wishes of the Baumler family, this scholarship is awarded
annually to an international student for use during the subsequent academic
