...will of the late Leverett Saltonstall of the class of 1844, which was filed yesterday at the Middlesex Probate Court, the sum of $5,000 is left to Harvard College. The provisions of the bequest are: "The sum of $5,000 to be securely invested by the president and fellows of Harvard College, and the income thereof annually to be paid by them to one or more meritorious students, graduate or undergraduate of the University, and who may give decided promise of further usefulness; my descendants and those related to me by consanguinty, when they may be candidates...

...will of the late Judge E. R. Hoar, Harvard College receives a bequest of $10,000, the income to be applied to the education of meritorious undergraduates of the college from the town of Concord, either immediately after entering or later. If such fail to apply, then the interest is to accumulate until the principal shall reach the sum of $12,000, which shall constitute two scholarships; and whenever no Concord boy shall apply for either, the income for the year may be given by the corporation to another undergraduate...
