“Only the
imprint we make on the lives of others is important, and I know I have
left that on the minds of so many
and that is why I leave my estate for scholarship.” Charles
Beardsley
 Charles
Beardsley, the first male graduate of Eastern Normal School in 1929,
lived this philosophy to its fullest. He reached across social class,
religion, and race to bring his love and appreciation for music and
the arts to the people he encountered.
The spirit of
Dr. Beardsley’s generosity and desire to help others continues even
after his death in January, 2002, at the age of 91. His generous
estate gift, planned in advance and valued at more than $500,000, will
provide scholarships for students studying art, music, or Native
American studies at Montana State University-Billings.
In gratitude for
the philanthropic legacy of Charles Beardsley, in recognition of his
deep commitment to humankind, and with the desire to honor all
individuals who have made plans to benefit Montana State
University-Billings and its students, the MSU Billings Foundation has
established the Beardsley Society for other donors whose motivations
emulate Charles’ example.
Membership in
the Beardsley Society requires only that MSU Billings Foundation is
included in your gift planning, i.e., your Will or Living Trust
bequest, a Charitable Remainder Trust, Charitable Gift Annuity, Life
Estate agreement, Charitable Lead Trust, or gift of a life insurance
policy or commercial annuity. (These methods of gift-giving are
called “planned gifts” or “deferred gifts.”)
