The late George Menzies, form­ erly of Grey Township and Brus­ sels, was intensely interested in the value of education throughout his life. The possessor of less formal education than a Grade 8 student of today, he was able to gain for himself a position of prominence and respect in his community, and was always vitally concerned that any student who had the ability to proceed to higher education should not be held back through the lack of financial assistance. With this in mind, his will generously provided for the establishment of the fund, which will continue to benefit students from the area for many years to come.
