THE scholarship program will be further supported by a bequest of $50,000 received by the College from the late Carl M. Owen '01 of New York, who died last April at Delray Beach, Florida. Mr. Owen, who was senior partner in the New York law firm of Willkie, Owen, Farr, Gallagher and Walton, left the fund as scholarship endowment and specified that it should be administered at the discretion of the President and Trustees of the College.

A Phi Beta Kappa student at Dartmouth, Mr. Owen received his LL.B. degree in 1905 from Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Law Review. He began the practice of law in New York in 1906 and became prominent as a specialist in corporation law. He was a director of several corporations and also of the National Health Council and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Richard Owen, one of two sons, is a member of the Class of 1945.
