WARD'S GIFT FOUND TO TOTAL OVER FIVE MILLION DOLLARS

Over five million dollars was yesterday discovered to be the sum which was left to Harvard University by the will of Ariemas Ward, former head of the well known advertising firm of that name, who died in 1925. The exact amount of the bequest, which totals $5,370,669, has never before been made public due to the fact that the gift went to an educational institution and was exempt from taxation.

The bequest was made to Harvard for the purpose of establishing the General Artemas Ward Memorial Fund in memory of the donor's great-grandfather.
