Tech. To Build Pratt School

Deeming it to be a patriotic duty, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will begin at once the construction of the Pratt School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. Charles Herbert Pratt, a Boston lawyer, bequeathed to the institute the bulk of his fortune for he purpose of establishing and maintaining a school of this character.

The only conditions that Mr. Pratt made were that the money should be held by trustees till the amount was three-quarters of a million, and that the building should bear on its outside its name.
