State universities have always been
denied the advantage of private endow-
ment, largely because they are creatures
of the state and receive their support
from the states money, says the State
Journal The recent monumental be-
quest of the late Senator w f Villas to
the University of Wisconsin therefore
goes on record as departure from a
long -estab lished condition This gift
now recalls another bequest to the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, which the institu-
ton will reap should the terms of curl
Gus will be strictly adhered to. The will
of Gullick Thompson of the town of
Christiana, who died Jan 20, 1895, left
his estate of S21 900 to the university,
the condition being that his son, Torger
G Thompson, of Deerfeld, former assem-
blyman from the second district of Dane
county, shall die without issue. These
purposes in brief provide for the found
ing and support of chair of Scandina-
Wan languages and literature in the
University of Wisconsin. The son, Tor
ger G. Thompson, is the only surviving
is 55 years old. With his wife he is liv-
ing on the extensive estate left him by
his father. Two children were born to
