UNIVERSITY RECEIVES TRUST FUND UNDER TERMS OF WILL

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Harvard University was yesterday made recipient of a $50,000 trust fund by the will of Mrs. Mary I. Brackett, widow of Dr. Charles A. Brackett, who graduated from the Dental School in 1873. The fund comes to the University under the terms of the will of Dr. Brackett, professor of Dental Surgery, Emeritus, at Harvard.

This new fund will probably be used in connection with the Dental School, as the former dental professor, although retired, always maintained a keen interest in its affairs. Other bequests amounting to over $50,000 were made to various charitable institutions.
