PILLSBURY BEQUEST IS NOT ACCEPTED BY UNIVERSITY

At a meeting of the corporation of Harvard University yesterday morning, it was decided that the recent gift to the University of $25,000, revealed in the will of the late A. E. Pillsbury, would not be accepted. The refusal of the bequest, which consisted of $100,000 to be divided equally between Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, and Yale, to be devoted to "creating or developing sound public opinion and action on the subject of anti-feminism" follows the general policy of the University in such matters. Harvard University has always been hesitant to accept gifts with restrictive clauses attached.
