Bequests to College

William N. Cohen '79, former Supreme Court Justice and one of the leading trial lawyers of the New York bar, who died at Atlantic City on February 27, left one-half of his residuary estate to Dartmouth College with the request that it be used "in part, at least, in aiding deserving students to pay the expenses of their education."

The other half of his estate he left to his nephew, Arthur J. Cohen '03 of New York City, whom he named executor. Other bequests were made to educational and charitable institutions and to Supreme Court Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo.

Judge Cohen made numerous and sub- stantial gifts to the College during his lifetime, among them the Class of '79 Fund given anonymously each year for music, arts and belle lettres. A detailed account of his benefactions will be found in this month's Necrology on Page 25.

A second bequest made to Dartmouth College early in March was that of $25,000 in trust, for deserving students of New .Hampshire, left by the late Mrs. Agnes M. Lindsay of Bridgewater, N. H., and Belmont, Mass. Mrs. Lindsay, who was the widow of Edwin P. Lindsay, president of the Advance Bag and Paper Company of Boston, died February 16, 1937, at her estate in Bridgewater. She made specific bequests amounting to $701,000, and left the residue of her estate in trust for charitable and educational purposes. Trustees of the residual estate are Robert L. Fitts '15 of Wellesley Hills, Mass.; Paul D. Caskey of .Belmont, Mass.; and Edward W. Warren '01 of Cambridge, Mass.

Early in March the College received a legacy of $5,000 from Miss Anna G. Blodgett of Franklin, N. H„ daughter of Isaac N. Blodgett, honorary 1870, niece of Caleb Blodgett 1856, and cousin of Prof. John H. Gerould '90. The income is to be used in aiding students in the College coming from Canaan or Franklin. Income not so used in any year is to be added to the principal of the fund.
