The WHIT MORRIS AWARD was provided by Miss F. Helen McGaughey, ISU professor emeritus of English, who served on the ISU faculty for 24 years (1946-1970). The award is in memory of her uncle Whit Morris, founder and owner of the Texas Title Guarantee Company, San Antonio, Texas. The award is given to a senior mle at the beginning of the student's eighth semester in recognition of demonstrated scholarship and leadership qualities necessary for a successful career in business.
