BEQUEST FROM THE LATE WARD N. HUNT
June, 1915

The College has recently received word from George K. Clarke, Esq., recipient of the honorary degree of Master of Arts in 1905, and founder of the Stephen Wells Clarke scholarship at Dartmouth, that his former client, the late Ward N. Hunt of Needham, has made Dartmouth College residuary legatee in his will which is shortly to be probated.

Mr. Hunt, who was born in Boylston in 1827, was a skilled machinist, working in the Springfield Armory during the Civil War, and later with an important firm of sewing machine manufacturers. By economy and thrift he saved considerable property so that the legacy to Dartmouth will amount to something over $20,000. This sum is to be applied to the establishing of scholarship funds in the name of the testator.
