Large Bequest for University

The will of the late James Arthur Beebe '69, who died at the Copley-Plaza Hotel on November 27, contains several large bequests to the University and to University interests. The largest bequest is $150,000 to the building fund of the Harvard Club of Boston, with directions that the money be used for the purchase of adjoining property, and the extensions of the buildings thereon. He also leaves $10,000 to the Class of 1869 Fund, and another $10,000 to Percy Lee Atherton '93, to be spent for progress in music in the University.

Five thousand dollars is also left to Professor Frederick Cheever Shattuck '84, of the Medical School, to be used by him in the furtherance of his investigation of tropical diseases.

All of the estate which is not otherwise definitely provided for is left in trust to the College "to use the income thereof for the general purposes of the University."
