The will of the late Samuel Hoar '67, field at East Cambridge last Friday, provided for the following gifts to the University: $5,000 to be added to the principal of the scholarship of the class of 1867; and $25,000 to be used for such purposes as the Corporation may think best; bequests being payable on the death of his wife. In reference to the last gift, he said: "I make this latter gift in memory of my brother, Sherman Hoar, who in lavish fulfillment of those high ideals which he found in his native town and in the teachings of his Alma Mater gave up his life in saving others, regardless of self."
If no Hneal descendants of Mr. Hoar remain on the death of his wife, the University is to receive one-half of the residve of all his personal property.
