Both of his parents were school teachers and there was no question that he would go to college, but how to pay for it was a major obstacle. &＃8220;We were as poor as church mice,&＃8221; Wood says. &＃8220;Washington University was just like it is in these days.&＃160; It&＃8217;s a very expensive place to attend given some of the alternatives.&＃160; And my first year&＃8217;s tuition was $750.&＃8221; That did not include room and board, Wood is quick to add. He will never forget the generosity of one man who made it possible for him to attend WashU. &＃8220;We had a gentleman in Bonne Terre by the name of Henry Day who owned a quarry in the county &＃8230; St. Francois County where I grew up.&＃160; And he offered a full scholarship each year to Washington University.&＃160; I was on that scholarship as was my brother.&＃160; And we were the only two that ever graduated on it.&＃160; So it was kind of an unusual situation, but it was a very nice scholarship, and he was a Harvard graduate. But that&＃8217;s how I got to Washington University; otherwise I would never have been able to attend.&＃8221; Wood was considered &＃8220;an out-of-town student&＃8221; when the majority of students lived within the metropolitan area and could take the streetcar to school. &＃8220;There were very few dorm rooms, practically none,&＃8221; Wood recalls. &＃8220;The fraternities had most of the rooms for the men.&＃160; There was no South 40. They didn&＃8217;t have sleeping rooms in the sororities.&＃160; So it was a little bit different back in 1957.&＃8221; Howard Wood had a successful career at Arthur Anderson before partnering with Olin alumnus Jerry Kent to launch Charter Cable. He has been a generous supporter of the Scholars in Business program and talks about the importance of scholarships in another video in this series.
