According to yesterday's edition of the Boston Advertiser a new bequest has been made to Harvard. Mr. J. Huntington Wolcott, who died ten days ago, left twenty-five thousand dollars to the college, of which the income is to be applied to establish scholarships for worthy students; twenty-five hundred dollars to the Lawrence Scientific School, and twenty-five hundred to the Botanical Gardens.
President Eliot had heard nothing of the bequest late yesterday afternoon, but there seems no doubt that the Advertiser's account is correct.
