the Ramsey Planning Board, an active Rotarian, a Harris Fellow of Rotary International, a Columbia College graduate, and founder of the Syder Insurance Agency. Syder created the scholarship foundation, which is charged with the rewarding task of awarding financial scholarships to Ramsey residents. Syder stressed that, “in no event shall need be an established criterion for an award.” Donald C. Ohnegian, Esquire, spokesman for the foundation, stated that, “Ed’s intention was to recognize effort, academic excellence, and an individual’s positive contribution to the college community. Ed’s whole life was dedicated to the pursuit of excellence. He believed that merit must be recognized and rewarded, not just for academic achievement, but also for community service.” The Edward C. Syder Scholarship Foundation consists of eight members, all of whom are selected for membership by Syder’s designation. They are as follows: Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Ramsey; Ramsey’s superintendent of schools; Don Bosco High School’s headmaster; the mayor of Ramsey; the president of Ramapo College;
senior officer of Bank of America’s Ramsey branch; a district Rotary Club representative, and Ohnegian.
