P. M. LYDIG '89 LEAVES LARGE PART OF ESTATE TO HARVARD

According to the will of Colonel P. M. Lydig '89, who died at Nice, France, on February 16, Harvard University will receive the major portion of his large estate, upon the death of a friend, Mille. Reuee Chauchet, who is to enjoy the income from it during her lifetime.

Colonel Lydig had been a prominent financier with extensive affiliations in Wall Street. During the World War he served in both the American and Russian forces: previously he had been a partner in the stock brokerage firm of Lounsberry and Company.

Under the terms of the will, which was filed for probate two days ago, the principal of his fortune will ultimately pass to Harvard for one or more scholarships in international law. The University has not yet announced its official acceptance of the bequest, and the amount could not be ascertained yesterday.
