Mrs. Mary Austin Carroll Gives
$4,000 a Year During
Her Lifetime.

Last summer there was the greatest
satisfaction felt among the alumni OF, the
University of Virginia over the maSnan1-
nous action of Mrs. Mary Austin Car
roll who gave to that institution about
$4,000 a year from the income OF the
property left by her father.
After Mrs. CAROLS life, the estate,
under the terms of Mr.. Austiils will, was
to so to the University of Virginia, but
Mrs Carroll, with the most pralsewor-
thy and public-spirited desire to help the
cause of education in the South, decided
to give, during her life, this sum an
nually to this institution which was 10
be so benefited after her death.
The residuary lcSatees undertook to con-
test this action of Mrs. Carroll. claiming
that she had no right to ALLEVIATE the
property during her life. The case was
argued yesterday in the Massac husetts
Court of Appeals by Nj. Harold j. Cool
idce. counsel for the University of Viz
cinia, who. by the way, is a Great-Grand-
son of Thomas jefferson. and for the
trustees under Mr.. Austin's will. and 1t
was decided that this action of Mrs. Car
roll was legally proper. An appeal can
be taken to the full bench, but there Is
no reason to believe but that the gift Of
Mrs Carroll will be maintained and that
the University will be benefited annually
