Martin's Millions editorial on Glenn L. Martine bequest
The Ford Foundation gifts illustrate a point but the will of pioneer flier Glenn L. Martine is more intriguing. He left 3.635 million in charitable gifts including 2 million to the University of Maryland and 100 thousand to Kansas Wesleyan. Mt. Pleasant's Iowa Wesleyan received 100 thousand, sparked by a past visit. The piece notes the moral that charity may roam far afield and asks how institutions can encourage this.
