BEQUEST TO COLLEGE

By will of the late Clara E. Seabury of New York City, the College has received the sum of $10,000 unrestricted as to its utilization. Mrs. Seabury, who died in January, 1916 had been for many years a resident of New York, though she was born and spent the early years of her life in Boston.

Her father was Edward Vinton, her mother, Mary Elizabeth Cahill. Her husband, Gardner Thurston Seabury, whose decease preceded that of his wife by some ten years, was a man of, considerable means which he and Mrs. Seabury used in furthering various generous enterprises.

Mrs. Seabury's bequest to Dartmouth is one of a long list of benefactions under her will. It is notable, not because of its amount, but because it is entirely without restriction, a qualification which multiplies the effective value of an academic gift many times.
