MAJOR GIFT HONORS INEZ SCOTT CARTWRIGHT  

    The family of Inez Scott Cartwright has contributed $100,000 to the
    Historical Society to create in her honor the Inez Scott Cartwright
    Endowment for the preservation and use of historical materials.  

    Mrs. Cartwright (1889-1953) came from a family distinguished in Disciples
    higher education. Her mother taught classical studies at Abingdon College
    (the alma mater of J. H. Garrison). Her mother's parents were leaders in the
    early history of Hiram College and Drake University. Her physician father
    and his family were involved in the early history of Butler University and
    Drake. Mrs. Cartwright served prominently as president of the National
    Council of Ministers' Wives at the 1942 International Convention. She spoke
    at the International Convention of 1939 on the theme, "Building a Christian
    Home." Her life's commitment was to her family. She was the wife of Lin
    Cartwright, a distinguished pastor and journalist. She was mother to
    Professor Dorwin P. Cartwright, Roberta Cartwright Warren and the
    Reverend Doctor Colbert Scott Cartwright.  

    Dorwin Cartwright, representing the family, affirms the fund's purpose: "for
    the preservation and use of historical materials from the Stone-Campbell
    Movement." President Peter Morgan commended the family. "This Disciples
    family has distinguished itself in congregational ministry, Christian
    journalism and Christian scholarship. That significant place in history was
    possible because of the strength, intelligence and Christian commitment of
    Inez Scott Cartwright. By this fitting tribute to their mother the family has
    further distinguished itself in Christian philanthropy. I extend my deepest
    appreciation on behalf of the Society and the congregations and scholars
    who will benefit from our strengthened ministry."
