I have donated to UBC, but never enough to pay back the generosity

During the last few months of my final year at UBC, my cash flow was running dry. One day as I was walking in the East Mall, Dean Gage was walking towards me. As we met, the following conversation took place.

” Sir, where is your office?”

” On the ground floor in the Buchanan Building.What can I do for you, son ?”

” I need some money”.

He told me to make an appointment with his secretary.When we met, Dean Gage offered me a $80 bursary.

Over the years I have donated to UBC, but never enough to pay back the generosity Dean Gage offered me.
