GREGORY SCHOLARSHIP FUND (2) The following letter from the Legal Counsel: January 22, 1926 President David Kinley, 355 Administration Building M y Dear President Kinley: In re: Gregory Scholarship Fund The assistant trust officer of the American Surety and Trust Company of Washington, D. C , executor and trustee of the will of Mrs. Louisa C. Gregory, has notified me that the company is now in position to makefinalpayment on account of the legacy bequeathed, the amount being ¥1531. The officer has requested that I draft resolution showing to whom the payment shall be made, and upon the receipt of the same the amount will be paid. I have ascertained from Mr. Morey that the company has already paid $6,000; $5,000 on November 6, 1922, and $1,000 on August 6, 1923. I am therefore sending you draft for resolution to be adopted by the Board of Trustees. I will ask you to please return the letter of Mr. Moran after you have had copy of same made. I am preserving all of thefilesin this matter. I think I told you at one time that Mr. Harry C. Howard, Legal Counsel for Kalamazoo College, and I entered into a joint defense in certain proceedings involving the settlement of Mrs. Gregory's estate. The bequest to Kalamazoo College was exactly like the one to the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. The Gregory heirs and the trust company insisted that something like $8000 or $10,000, paid out by Mrs. Gregory to relieve the property of mortgage, should be charged against the bequests to the two institutions. The court took a contrary view and we are fortunate, I think, in getting the sum of $7,531, more than double the amount that would have been received had the contentions of the Gregory heirs and the trust company prevailed. Sincerely yours,

O. A. Harker

Legal Counsel
