Through Bequest From Will of
Major [. A, Abbott
TO GODDARD SEMINARY FUND
Trustees Will Be Able to Report at
Commencement Next Week That I
Schools Total Endowment
Is Now $4,000.

The trustees of Goddard seminary
have just received word that the sem
mary was beneficiary to the extent
OF $1,000 by the will of the late Major
l.. A. Abbott, who died in Aberdeen,
Washington, and left the bulk Of his
property to found home for the aged
at the Abbott home place in Barre
Town There are no considerations to
the gift.
This was not the only evidence of
Major Ahbott's interest in Goddard, as
he had from time to time given smaller
donations, including some money con-
tributions, several large pictures and
stained glass window in the Thomp-
son Memorial building His interest
in the school was perhaps attracted be-
cause Of his relationship to Miss
Pegsis Thompson, who was for many
years a preceptress in the institution
MAJOR Abbott and Miss Thompson were
cousins
With this amount, it will be pos.
sible to announce at commencement
next week that the endowment fund of
the school now amounts to $4,000.
which is very strong financial backing
for secondary educational institution
like Goddard Since last September,
Goddard has received four bequests..
totaling Ss.000-one of 5000, the Alb
tott gift Of $1,000 and two bequests of
S560 each--which have been, or will be,
turned into the endowment of the
school.
Regarding the subscription fund which
is being raised for new building, Prin-
eipal Hollister reported to-day that
$1,000 has been subscribed, and that
up to the present time the solicitors
hsye heard from comparatively few of
the trustees and alumni, which en-
courages them to the belief that the
required amount will be Forthcoming
within a reasonable time. The building
committee wish to raise $4,000 before
the construction of the building is
started
