PEABODY MUSEUM RECEIVES $70,000 BY HEMENWAY ESTATE

The President and Fellows of Harvard University are to receive the sum of $70,000 to be used for the benefit of the Peabody Museum according to the will of the late Augustus Hemenway '79 which was filed for probate at Dedham yesterday.

The bequest climaxes a series of gifts to the University from the donor who served at one time on the Board of Overseers. The most outstanding of these was the Hemenway gymnasium which was presented to the University in 1879 and enlarged at the double expense in 1895.
