ESTATE OF ANNA M. GUL1CK. DECEASED (16) On June 4, 1963, the Probate Court of McLean County, Illinois, entered an order admitting to probate a will dated September 17, 1954, and a codicil thereto dated December 1, 1960, as the Last Will and Testament of Anna M. Gulick, deceased. The University is not a beneficiary under these instruments. The June 4, 1963, order also denied probate to a document dated September 2, 1960, purporting to be Mrs. Gulick's last will and testament, under which certain property is disposed of to individuals and the residuary estate is placed in trust with the income to be divided equally among the University of Illinois, Northwestern University, and Illinois Wesleyan University. The latter institution is a beneficiary under both instruments but would take a greater share under the documents admitted to probate by the June 4, 1963, action of the Probate Court. The Legal Counsel states that preliminary investigation indicates that the September 2, 1960, instrument favoring the University may, in fact, be the last will of the decedent. H e states further that, because of limitations on the extent of evidence admissible in the probate court, the validity of the documents admitted to probate should be determined in a separate proceeding filed in the Circuit Court of McLean County, Illinois. H e recommends that the University join with Northwestern University in instituting a suit to contest the documents admitted as Mrs. Gulick's will, and requests authority to employ such special legal counsel as he may deem necessary or appropriate to assist in the prosecution of the same. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Johnston, this recommendation was approved.
