By the will of the late William Hilton of Boston, Harvard, Amherst and Williams each receive $50,000. The same amount is left to Phillips Andover and $10,000 to the Abbot Female Seminary of Andover. All of these sums, with the possible exception of the last, are for the aid of poor students, hence do not swell the available funds for college management. By this gift Harvard will be able to offer an inducement for some poor student to make his home with us.
