AMERICAN EMBASSY OFFICER IN GREECE THANKS VERHOVAY FOR TUITION LOAN “This could never have happened without your aid,” writes Consul Karl Kalassay. Many of Verhovay’s members have obtained a college education with the help of interest-free tuition loans by which the Association has been aiding its talented young members in their quest for higher education for a number of years. These loans, available under certain conditions to members of the Association who have successfully completed their first two semesters in an institute of higher education are granted on the understanding that they will he repaid, in installments if preferred, after the students have completed their studies and established themselves in their chosen professions. Vice-President Dr. Andrew Kovács has been entrusted by the Board of Directors to contact those former students whose tuition loans have been outstanding for some time. Among several others he wrote to Kail Kalassay ,-to his last known address. What these tuition loans mean to the recipients, is beautifully expressed in the reply of Mr. Kalassay who is now with ehe American Embassy in Athens, Greece, as a Consul. The letter follows: THE FOREIGN SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 19 September 1951 “Dr. Andrew Kovács 3609 Lorain Avenue Cleveland 13, Ohio Dear Sir After a very long period of time, your letter has finally reached me here in Athens, Greece. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you ifor sending me the letter and especially, to thank the Verhovay Fraternal Association for their generous and fraternal aid which assured me of getting -my college degree. The wonderful spirit displayed by the Verhovay in granting aid to those of its members seeking a college education will long live in the hearts of those who were helped by this really “fraternal” organization. It is with great pleasure that I enclose my check for the full amount of the balance due on my student loan. I can only say that I am sc-rry that I did not send it to you sooner. As you may know, I am no-w in Greece with the American Embassy as a Consul; this could never have happened without your aid at the tima I was going to college. I shall never forget your generosity. Very truly yours (s) Karl Kalassay The American Embassy A.P.O. 206 Postmaster, New York”
