IMPORTANT BEQUESTS TO THE COLLEGE
April 1920

By the will of Richard K. Tyler '90, who died early in the year, Dartmouth College will eventually receive an estate which is estimated to be worth about $400,000. After a few legacies have been paid, the remaining estate is to form a permanent trust fund to be paid finally to Dartmouth College and to be known as "The Richard K. Tyler and Louise Rollins Tyler Fund." Mr. Tyler was engaged in the real estate business in Washington, D. C. and Mrs. Tyler, who survives him, is a daughter of Edward A. Rollins of the Class of '51, the donor of Rollins Chapel.

Notice has also been received that the College is to benefit to the extent of $40,000 from the'will of Dr. Hosea B. Burnham of Manchester. Dr. Burnham, who was not a graduate, of Dartmouth College, was a prominent citizen of the State and has always been interested in the College as one of New Hampshire's notable institutions.
