Yale to Get $650000 From Lyman Estate Bequest
The death of Joseph Lyman, a New York artist, triggers a bequest of about 650000 to Yale University. The fund, set up by Samuel H. Lyman of New York City, funds an annual income to assist worthy students. Upon earlier death of Samuel H. Lyman in 1910, the estate totalled about 750000 with 75000 given to Joseph and the rest in trust for Caleb Huntington Atwater. The annuity to Atwater would continue, and after 25000 to the Children's Aid Society, the remainder would revert to Yale as the Joseph Lyman Fund in memory of Lyman’s ancestors.
