All have distinguished themselves as outstanding students.<\/p>\n<p>Lindsay M. Dale, a senior education PK-12, German and Spanish major from Willow Street, Pa.; Kendra Nissley, a sophomore German and justice, peace and conflict studies major from Columbiana, Ohio; and Ashley Wiederrecht, an incoming freshman from Mount Joy, Pa., received the Ernest G. Gehman Scholarship.<\/p>\n<p>The Gehman Scholarship was established to honor foreign language majors, with preference to those pursuing German study. Recipients must have grade point averages of at least a 3.0 and qualify for financial assistance.<\/p>\n<p>The late Ernest G. Gehman (1901-1988) taught German language and literature at EMU, 1924-73. He maintained an intense interest in the Pennsylvania German dialect spoken by many Amish and Mennonites, taught course in the dialect and produced a recording of Pennsylvania Germany poetry. He was an ordained minister, prolific writer-editor, illustrator and inventor.<\/p>\n<p>   The Hubert R. and Mildred Pellman Literature Scholarship was awarded to: Andrea J. Kniss, a junior English, culture, religion and mission major from Harrisonburg; Karina J. Martin, a freshman English major from New Holland, Pa.;  April J. Miller, a senior English major from Corning, N.Y.; Wayne R. Paxton, a junior English education major from Churchville, Va.; Brent A. Schilt, a senior history and English major from Marietta, Pa.; Donovan E. Tann, a sophomore English and music major from East Petersburg, Pa.; Carey L. Yeager, a senior English and Spanish major from Chesterfield, Va.; and Hannah E. Yoder, a freshman English major from Hubbard, Ore. <\/p>\n<p>The Pellman Literature Scholarship was established to honor full-time students in language and literature, with preference to English majors. This year&#8217;s recipients all had grade point averages of at least 3.2 and qualified for financial assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Pellman, a professor emeritus of English, taught at EMU from 1941 to 1983, with several breaks along the way for graduate study and sabbaticals and serving as a visiting teacher in California, Indiana and Sapporo, Japan. <\/p>\n<p>He researched and wrote the official history of Eastern Mennonite College (now University), which was published on the school&#8217;s 50th anniversary in 1967. The veteran teacher was named EMU&#8217;s &quot;Alumnus of the Year&quot; in 1969. He lives with his wife, Millie Kauffman Pellman in Park View.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lindsay M. Dale Andrea J. Kniss April J. Miller Brent A. Schilt Donovan E.
