The Maritime College at Fort Schuyler Foundation, Inc., has been presented with a $2,000 unrestricted contribution from the Marine Department of Texaco Inc. The gift was presented by Charles J. Gay, assistant general manager of the Texaco Marine Sales Department, a graduate of Maritime College himself, to Cadet Patrick J. Crowe, regimental commander, representing the Cadet Corps, and Adm. Sheldon H. Kinney, president of the Maritime College and the Foundation.

The Maritime College at Fort Schuyler Foundation was established in 1976 to assist the college in its academic scholarship programs. This was Texaco's second unrestricted gift to the college under a special $4,000 grant program.
