Newspaper accounts of the will of the late Adolph S. Ochs, publisher of The NewYork Times, contained the information that a bequest of 250 shares of New York Times Company stock, having a par value of $25,000, had been made to Dartmouth College. Similar bequests were made to Yale, Columbia, New York University, University of Chattanooga, Lincoln Memorial University and Hebrew Union College.
Dartmouth conferred the honorary I.L.D. degree upon Mr. Ochs in 1932.
