By the will of the late Mrs. Catharine Garcelon of California, Bowdoin College is to be the recipient of a handsome legacy. Mrs. Garcelon's interest in Bowdoin was due to the fact that she had many relatives in Maine. To about seventy of these relatives and friends of the family she has left various small sums. The residue of the estate is to be divided up between the endowment of a hospital and a gift to Bowdoin College. It has been estimated that the hospital will receive $600,000, and Bowdoin's share will be fully $400,000. To such a college as Bowdoin, this bequest of $400,000 will mean a great deal.
