A motion to contest the will of George L. Lincoln '95, former instructor in the English department, was stricken Tuesday by Edmund V. Keville '33, Probate Court Judge of Suffolk County.
Lincoln, who died on Oct. 17, 1963, left most of his estate, estimated at $500,000, to the University, $200,000 will go to the College Library funds.
A neice, Mrs. Hazel Dike of New Orleans, La., claimed that she was promised more than the $15,000 left to her in the will, and she sought a 60-day delay in hearing the case.
The University will receive its bequest in ten years. In the meantime, income from the estate will be divided among the Animal Rescue League, the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Morgan Memorial. Boston Atheneum, and a number of Southern charities.
