Four DePauw Phi Delts Receive Lund Scholarships
April 6, 2001
April 6, 2001, Greencastle, Ind. - Four members of Phi Delta Theta, Indiana Zeta chapter at DePauw University, are being rewarded for their scholarship and community involvement through the generosity of fellow Phi Delt Albert L. Lund (DePauw 1948). Edmund Nightingale, Tyler Green and Reid Vegeler of the Class of 2002, and Adam Czerwinski ('03) have been selected to receive Lund Scholarships of $5,000 each.

Albert L. Lund established the scholarship in 1999, to reward members of his fraternity for their dedication to academics and their involvement in campus and community activities. In its three years, the Lund Scholarship has grown from annually helping one student, to four.
David Ryan Phillips of Danville, Illinois (DePauw '01) was the first winner of a Lund Scholarship. Last year, the scholarship committee renewed Phillips' award and added two members of the Class of 2002, Edmund Nightingale of Mendota Heights, Minnesota and Tyler Green of Salem, Oregon. Larry Lund (DePauw 1977), the son of Albert Lund and also a Phi Delt, was on campus this week to announce that the scholarships of both Nightingale and Green have been renewed, and that Reid Vegeler ('02, Fort Wayne, Indiana) and Adam Czerwinski ('03, Niles, Illinois) are new Lund Scholars.
Joining in the announcement was Eugene L. Delves, a 1950 DePauw graduate and member of the Board of Trustees. Delves, a close friend of Albert Lund while both were students at DePauw, serves on the committee that selects the Lund Scholars.
"This is my father's way of helping to keep his fraternity and his alma mater strong," said Larry Lund. "He especially enjoys the communication he has with these young men via letters and e-mail, and learning how their lives and goals are developing. This is a great example of how the bonds of fraternity can erase generational lines, and build better tomorrows."
