It is too early to make any comment until definite information with regard to the bequest can be obtained. But, we may all hope that the report is not exaggerated, especially when we think what unestimable benefits can be procured by such a bequest. The erection of a new dormitory alone ought to immortalize the generous donor. However, it will be well to delay further comment until...
