College Announces $100,000 Gift to Establish Endowed Scholarship in the Sciences
Campus News
Franklin College has announced a $100,000 gift establishing the Dr. Barbara Hummel Weil ’47 Memorial Scholarship.
The endowed scholarship was established by Dr. Edward D. Weil in memory of his deceased wife Barbara Hummel Weil, a 1947 Franklin College alumna.
Barbara grew up in Marion, Ind., and enrolled at Franklin College to study chemistry, a field few women at that time explored. Overcoming that challenge, as well as the physical and social challenges of blindness in one eye caused by a childhood illness, she persevered and earned a graduate fellowship at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She earned a Ph.D. in organic chemistry in 1953 and married her husband, Edward, also a chemistry fellow.

comes down
One limb at a time, the locally famous leaning tree came down Sept. 3. For more than 150 years, the tree stood at a 30-degree angle about 3 miles south of Franklin in the 3500 block of Airport Road. The tree’s removal was initiated after a citizen submitted a formal complaint asking the highway department to look into the safety of it. On June 4, Airport Road, also known as Nineveh Road, was closed after an initial inspection determined the tree was unsafe to drive under. Then, in June, two master arborists determined the tree was at “extreme risk” of falling. So, the Johnson County Board of Commissioners voted 3-0 to remove the tree. County officials and local artisans are still looking at ways to preserve the tree, such as a memorial.
