PART OF OLD SARCOPHAGUS LEFT TO FOGG ART MUSEUM

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

An antique marble which was formerly a part of a Roman sarcophagus was bequeathed to the Fogg Art Museum by the will of Charles W. Gould, author and retired lawyer. The will was filed for probate in New York on Saturday. Mr. Gould, although not a Harvard graduate, had always been interested in the Harvard museum. The marble is only a small item in the late author's large collection of statues, paintings, and other works of art.

Other institutions benefiting from Mr. Gould's bequests are the Metropolitan Museum of Art, of which the testator was an honorary trustee, and the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation in Cold Spring Harbor.
