Miss Julia Ross, a member of the graduating class at the N.C. College has this week won the highest scholarship given, which is called the Weil Fellowship and is equivalent to a $500 scholarship at any University.
This Fellowship was established by Mrs. Henry Weil of Goldsboro in memory of her husband. It was awarded on a basis of scholarship and general ability. Miss Ross’ many friends in the county will congratulate her upon this worthily bestowed honor.

$500 in 1923 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $9,168.07 today, according to the Inflation Calculator.
