Baltzell Estate
April 1940

THE 220-ACRE ESTATE of the late Mrs. Alice Cheney Baltzell of Dover, Mass., has been deeded to Dartmouth College and added temporarily to the property holdings of the College. The estate, which lies along the Charles River and has an entrance in Wellesley, came to Dartmouth unconditionally after it had been waived in turn by an individual beneficiary, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and Wellesley College, to each of which it was bequeathed with varying restrictions and conditions.

Mrs. Baltzell's will authorized the trustee of the estate to sell the property for Dartmouth College in the event that the other beneficiaries did not accept it with the conditions attached, but an arrangement has been made whereby the College takes over the property and offers it for sale.
