GERMAN STUDENTS WILL STUDY HERE

Fellowship of $500 Donated to Student of Organic Chemistry--Holiday Fund Provided

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

An endowment of $75,000 for the purpose of enabling young German students to continue at Harvard preliminary training begun in their native country constitutes one of five gifts which the university has just received, it was announced yesterday at University Hall. This fund is made possible through the estate of the late Charles W. Holtzer, of Brookline, and will bear his name.

Among the other gifts the George G. Wheelock Holiday Fund is the most unusual. Established by W. H. Wheelock '98, of New York City, in memory of his father, it will enable a few boys who could not otherwise make the trip to return to their homes for vacations.

Mrs. Forris Jewett Moore, of Cambridge, has given to the University in memory of her husband an endowment for a fellowship, carrying a stipend of $500. This aid, which will be known as the Forris Jewett Moore Fellowship in Organic Chemistry, will be awarded to assist some graduate of the University who has distinguished himself in that subject while an undergraduate and wishes to engage in further work in the field. The beneficiary is to be a member of the graduating class of the year preceding that in which he holds the fellowship. At the discretion of the University, the award may be made to the same man for two years.

From the estate of Miss Ellen S. Bates of New York City the University has received an endowment to provide an annual stipend of $125 which is to be paid, entirely at the discretion of the University to some deserving student.

Harvard received from the will of Mrs. Isaac Lothrop Rogers, of Brookline, two scholarships to be established in memory of the father and mother of her husband, the late Isaac Lothrop Rogers '81. The first of these scholarships, with a stipend of $500, will bear the name of Charles E. Rogers, and the second, with a similar income, will be known as the Martha Symmes Rogers Scholarship. These awards will be available to undergraduates of the College.
