College Receives Unique Request

The late William S. Murphy '85 has made in his will a peculiar bequest to the College. He leaves to it all his property, "to be devoted to the establishment, of one or more scholarships for the collegiate education of any young man or men named 'Murphy' who in the judgment of the Faculty should prove deserving of this kind of encouragement." He suggests that the young men be found through advertisements in New York and Boston papers.

Should no young man take advantage of the bequest, the income is to be used for the best interests of the College.
