ARTHUR U. ZIMMERMAN – OH 1902 - 1908
THE OLD HEREFORDIAN FUND
Under the terms of the Will of the late Arthur U Zimmerman ( OH 1902 –1908 ) a certain sum of money was bequeathed to the OH Club on his death. He requested that a fund be set up in the form of a charitable trust, to be administered by separate Trustees appointed by the OH Committee for the expressed purpose of providing support for the school. This would take the form of bursaries, awards for specific projects and general financial assistance offered at the discretion of the Trustees.
