aiding technical schools, institutions of] 

 higher learning, libraries, scientific 

 research, hero funds, useful publica- 

 tions, and by such other means as shall j 

 from time to time be found appro- 

 priate therefor.'' 



I'.\ the will of Mr. Joseph Pulitzer 

 the million dollars which he had set 

 aside for a School of Journalism at 

 Columbia University is released, and 

 the promise of an additional million on 

 condition that the school he success- 

 fully conducted for three years is con- 

 firmed. $250,000 is bequeathed to 

 Columbia University to continue the 

 special scholarships for students of the 

 New York public schools. $500,000 is 

 bequeathed to the Metropolitan Mu- 

 seum of Art and an equal sum to the 

 Philharmonic Society of New York. 

 The income to be paid to two of his 

 sons is limited until they have reached 

 the age of thirty, and the balance is to 

 be divided between Columbia Univer- 



sity, the Metropolitan Museum of Art 

 and the Philharmonic Society. This 

 amount may apparently exceed $500,- 

 000 annually. 



The will of Miss Emma Carola 

 Woerishoffer leaves $750,000 to the 

 trustees of Bryn Mawr College, of 

 which she was a recent graduate. 



The estate of John S. Kennedy is 

 even larger than has been previously 

 announced. The share of Columbia 

 University is $2,429,943. The New 

 York Public Library receives $2,779,- 

 790; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, 

 $2,929,943; the Presbyterian Hospital, 

 $1,514,086; New York University and 

 the Presbyterian Board of Aid for 

 Colleges, each $976,647; Robert Col- 

 lege, Constantinople, $1,847,295. The 

 specific bequests, not dependent on the 

 size of the size of the estate, include 

 $100,000 each to Yale, Amherst, Dart- 

 mouth, Bowdoin, Hamilton and Glas- 

 gow.
