The Henry M. Love Scholarship
The Henry M. Love Scholarship, established in 1957 by William D. Love II, Class of 1909, provides support for relatives of Henry M. Love, Class of 1883, or, when no such relative is at the College, for a senior in the Emerson Literary Society. If awarded to a senior, it is intended for graduate study leading to a career in law, medicine, journalism, teaching or theology.
Henry Morris Love was born in Milwaukee, attended Phillips-Andover Academy, and entered Hamilton in 1879. In 1882, he co-founded the Emerson Literary Society, one of Hamilton's oldest private societies. He graduated from Hamilton in 1883 with Phi Beta Kappa honors and earned a law degree from Columbia University. He soon formed a legal firm with his former Hamilton classmate, Edward B. Root of Clinton, New York. Henry was a specialist in patent law and held executive positions in textile firms throughout his life.
William D. Love II, Class of 1909, established this fund on the 75th anniversary of the Emerson Literary Society (ELS) in memory of his uncle, who was one of the founders of ELS.
