Over $1 million has been left to the University by Mrs. A. Kingsley Porter, the widow of a Harvard archaeologist, whose will was filed for probate yesterday.
Mrs. Porter, who died September 19 at the age of 36, left a direct bequest of $1,093,000 to Harvard. She also left her home, once the residence of poet James Russell Lowell, and $35,000 for maintenance of photographic and literary material given to the University by her husband.
According to the Associated Press, the will also listed $400,000 in trust for a sister, to revert later to Harvard.
