FIRST MILTON FUND AWARDS AID 21 MEN

Twenty-one professors in the University will receive awards from the Milton Fund for Research, it was announced yesterday. This fund, consisting of an income of about $50,000 was given to the University by William F. Milton '58.

The University received the Milton legacy last spring.

This use to which the new bequest has been put was provided for by a subsidiary clause in the will of the late Mr. Milton.
