Three weeks ago, having given away most of his fortune, Edward Harkness died. Last week his will was filed. How much was left, no one knew, but it was still considerable. Most of it went to Edward Harkness' widow. When she dies, the Commonwealth Fund (founded by Edward's mother) will get half, the Presbyterian Hospital a quarter and the rest will be divided among Columbia, Yale, Harvard, St. Paul's, Hampton Institute, Atlanta University, the New York Public Library, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, two New York City charities. To 78 employes who had helped him distribute his philanthropies, Edward Harkness left $1,250,000. A loyal Yaleman to the last, Mr. Harkness bequeathed $400,000 to Old Blue Malcolm Aldrich, $50,000 to another Old Blue whom he gave a job, onetime Yale Quarterback Philip W. ("Tibby") Bunnell, '27.
