Keith Bequest to Class of '01.

According to the will of the late A. Paul Keith '01, recently filed for probate in the Suffolk Country registry, a part of the estate, estimated at $4,000,000, is to be equally divided between the President and Fellows of Harvard College and Cardinal O'Connell. This sum represents the remainder of the great estate inherited from B. F. Keith and increased through his son's business activities, after numerous personal bequests have been deducted. The part that comes to the University is to be used for all general interests.

Mr. Keith's interest in the College is shown in a special donation of $25,000 to the class of 1901; to be paid in 1926, the 25th anniversary of the class.
