James C. Ebbert, considered “a very, very nice man at all times” certainly lived up to his reputation. In 1941, Ebbert earned his bachelor’s degree in education at Millersville University of Pennsylvania.  When he died on Dec. 26, 2007, at age 90, he left a gift of $500,000 to Millersville University.  The gift will fund scholarships for teacher education students beginning in fall 2009.  Each year approximately $25,000 will be given out to education students.
