Bequests Made to College By '72 and 'B9 Widows
February 1953

UNDER the will of Celeste Weed Tuttle, widow of Dr. George T. Tuttle '72, Dartmouth will eventually receive a substantial bequest for the general purposes of the College, subject first to a lifetime interest in specified heirs. In addition to the residual bequest the College has re- ceived a portrait of Dr. Tuttle, painted by E. W. D. Hamilton, which is'now appropriately displayed in one of the College buildings.

Dr. Tuttle, a native of Northwood, N. H.. and a physician by profession, served the McLean Hospital of Waverly, Mass., for 40 years and was superintendent of that institution for 15 of those years. Upon his retirement in 1919 he was elected to the Board of Trustees of the Massachusetts General Hospital.

His widow, shortly after her husband's death, demonstrated her loyalty to Dartmouth by becoming the first widow of the class to continue her husband's contributions to the Alumni Fund. Her bequest is a further expression of that loyalty.

Another widow, Sara D. Hazen, wife of Charles Downer Hazen '89, has remembered Dartmouth in her will by leaving the College one half of her estate to establish a permanent fund in memory of her husband. It is contemplated that the fund will be used to establish the Charles Downer Hazen Scholarship to be awarded each year to an outstanding student majoring in Modern European History.

His contemporaries will remember Mr. Hazen, a native of Barnet, Vt., as a Professor of Modern European History who served on the faculties of Smith College and Columbia University. In addition to teaching, he was a noted author and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
