Yesterday's CRIMSON article reporting a $1,093,835 bequest to Radcliffe College was erroneous. The money was given for the College's endowment and not, as the article suggested, to the fund for Radcliffe's planned graduate quadrangle. As endowment, it cannot be used to finance the graduate quadrangle, $843,835 was donated to establish the John F. and Ethel P. Moors Fund for unrestricted endowment, and $250,000 to form the Ethel Paine Moors Endowment Fund.
The bequest was received from the estate of John Farwell Moors, who died in 1953 at the age of 93. Moors is Radcliffe's largest single donor. His previous gifts include $700,707 towards Moors Hall, $5,000 towards Holmes Hall, and $5,000 for unrestricted endowment. A typographical error in yesterday's paper stated that Moors had given five million dollars for unrestricted endowment.
