It may have not been a large sum, but from a young man who emigrated to Canada from a tiny farm in Yorkshire - didn't he do well? From way back, the Hills Family, of which he is descended, made sure their children learned to read and write. I wish all your students well in their studies and hope they appreciate how lucky they are to have such a great university to study at.
