Two hundred thousand dollars was bequeathed to Harvard University by Ogden Mills '78, whose will was filed for probate last Tuesday in Duchess County, New York.

Half of the gift to Harvard is to be added to the Endowment Fund, while $100,000 is given in a codicil without designating a specific purpose.

Ogden Mills, capitalist and philanthropist, died of pneumonia on January 29 at the age of 72. He was the director of many organizations and was a consistent benefactor of the Home for Incurables in New York City, the Mills Memorial Hospital, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
