CORPORATION ANNOUNCES GIFT FROM WILL OF WARD

At a meeting of the Corporation of the University recently the Treasurer reported on account, a sum of very nearly $2,000,000 left to the University by the late Artemas Ward whose will was probated a short time ago.

In his will, Mr. Ward, after certain specific bequests, gave the remainder of his estate to the University "to be known as the General Artemas Ward Memorial Fund in memory of General Artemas Ward, my great grandfather, a graduate of the University, the income to be applied among other things to establish his reputation, too long neglected, as a devoted and faithful friend of his country; to maintain permanently his old homestead at Shrewsbury, Mass, as a public museum, and for such other purposes as the University shall deem proper and useful."
