Dean West Pleased at Prospe ct
in Wyman Legacy.

Princeton, n. j.. May N.-Dean Andrew F.
West, Of the graduate school of Princeton
University, who is one of the trustees and
executors of the estate of Isaac c. wyman,
of Salem. Mass, the bulk OF which was be-
queathed to the graduate college here, re-
turned to Princeton to-day. He said he was
greatly pleased at the prospect of a large
development of the university through the
means of the big gift
Dean West said that it could not be esti-
mated at present just what the Wyman es-
tate would amount to, but it is safe to say
that II Will range between 100000 and
100000. 1t will take until midsummer to
make an inventory OF the estate. Dean
West declared. however, that there seems
to be sufficient funds available for inme-
date progress on the graduate college
project.
Asked what the procedure would be, he
said merely that he and John NJ. Raymond,
Of Salem. Mass, being named a executors
Of the Wyman estate. had notified Presi-
dent Wilson OF the bequest, and sent him
also copy of the will on Sunday. The
board Of trustees meets on June Is.
Moses Taylor Pyne, chairman of the
graduate school committee of the board of
trustees, said yesterday:
L feel that the bequest Will create har-
mony down at Princeton. The trustees will
probably meet before commencement, and
it is possible that the application of the
money will be considered then. The trustees
know little about the bequest, even its
actual amount, yet. and about all that
is known is that it is for a graduate school
It is possible that the board will consider
scholarships and additional professorships.
this being along the line toward the es-
tablishment of the graduate school.
