Some bequests also provide unrestricted support, allowing the University to address its most pressing needs. Planned gifts may support a scholarship, a professorship or other program, Tilmon points out. For example, faculty member Richard W. Garvine was named the Maxwell P. and Mildred H. Harrington Professor of Marine Studies, thanks to a substantial bequest. The Harringtons, both Delaware natives, had a special love for the coast. As a 1950 Delaware graduate and civil engineer, Mr. Harrington also worked in marine sciences for several years.
