Clauses Affecting Yale University in the Will of the late John W.
Sterling, '64.

## Article Twenty-Eight.

ALL THE REST, RESIDUE AND REMAINDER of my Estate, not hereinbefore effectually disposed of, I direct my said Trustees to dispose of in the manner following:

I. To apply the same, as soon after my decease as may be practicable, to the use and for the benefit of Yale University, in the erection in New Haven, Connecticut, upon land selected at its expense by it, with the approval of my said Trustees, of at least one enduring, useful and architecturally beautiful edifice, which will constitute a fitting Memorial of my gratitude to and affection for my Alma Mater. The said Trustees shall have entire liberty and discretion to apply any portion of the said property, or its proceeds, to the erection of a single building; and they shall apply the balance of said property, if any, to the erection and equipment of other fine and enduring buildings for the use of students in the academical or graduate departments and, to some extent, to the foundation of Scholarships, Fellowships or Lectureships, the endowment of new Professorships and the establishment of special funds for prizes.

II. I direct my said Trustees, in the disposition of the said Rest, Residue and Remainder of my Estate, to be governed, so far as may in their discretion seem advisable, by any direction in writing executed by my said sisters, Catharine M. Bunnell and Cordelia Sterling, or the survivor of them, and delivered to my said Trustees before they have otherwise disposed of such Residuary Estate.

III. In case I erect or provide during my lifetime for the erection of such a Memorial edifice as is described in the first part of Subdivision I of this Article Twenty-eighth, my Trustees shall not be required to erect an additional Memorial Building, though they shall have complete power to apply my said Residuary Estate for the benefit of the said University to the erection of other edifices of a Memorial character or to other purposes specified in said Subdivision I.

IV. All buildings erected as aforesaid shall be made fireproof and shall be constructed in the most substantial manner.

## Article Thirtieth.

Wherever in this Will anyone is given the power to direct the objects for which any sums, which may become payable to Yale University, shall be devoted, and fails to make a valid exercise of such power, or wherever any sum is given or directed to be paid to the said University, without specifying the objects to which it shall be devoted, then, in every such case, I give and bequeath such sums to the said University upon the express condition that the same shall not be used for the purchase of lands or as a part of the general funds of the Corporation, but shall, within a reasonable time after my decease, be devoted to specific objects, particularly to the erection and equipment of fine and enduring buildings for the use of students in the Academical or Graduate Departments, and to some extent to the foundation of Scholarships, Fellowships, Lectureships, the endowment of new Professorships and the establishments of special funds for prizes, or for such other objects as may be approved by my said Trustees.
