Dartmouth College becomes a beneficiary through the will of Theodore N. Vail, late chairman of the American Telephone & Telegraph Company.
The will has not yet been probated so that the amount of the bequest is as yet indefinite, but it has been announced that Dartmouth College is mentioned in two sections of the will. In one section bequests are made to a group of educational institutions including Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dartmouth College, Princeton University, Middlebury College, and Phillips Exeter Academy. In a later section Mr. Vail also expresses the hope that further sums would be available for memorials to his son, Davis Righter Vail, at Harvard University, Dartmouth College, and Phillips Exeter Academy.
