Obituary
Truman Warner passed away on May 7th, 1997. Starting in 1947, Warner spent fifty years of his life teaching; forty of which were spent at the University as an Anthropology professor where he eventually retired in 1995. As an elderly man, he could look upon his life and be proud of his accomplishments. He served in a horrendous war, was able to see other countries and their cultures, and he was able to make his own opinion about the things he saw. The best part about all of this is that he was then able to go and teach students all that he saw and learned.
When Warner died, the Truman A. Warner Scholarship Fund was established. This fund is for history, social sciences, or American studies majors who are juniors in standing at Western Connecticut State University. To win it, the student must demonstrate significant achievement, an extensive scope of intellectual interest, and have serviced the university and community. The amazing thing about the qualifications for the scholarship, is that it is everything Warner did within his own life.
