Wiser wills 40000 for lander agricultural college
Phil Wiser of Lander Wyoming left an estate valued at 40000 to fund a college building in Lander after he died with no wife or children. A citizen suggestion prompted the use of the fund to erect the edifice and later claim government maintenance funds for the college. This could test the state allocation for the Laramie institution. Also noted are stock market indigestion reports and debates on military education requirements and admissions. The column ends with a joke about a four figure check of 11.11 for a marriage.
