The Harvard University Corporation meeting this afternoon decided that it would not act on the gift of $1,000 to the University by Dr. Ernst F. Hanfstaengl until after conferring with him when he arrives in Cambridge to participate in the reunion activities of the class of 1909. A Spokesman for the corporation told the Jewish Daily Bulletin late this afternoon that the terms of the gift do not agree with the rules of the Corporation. It was pointed out that if Hanfstaengl’s gift is for the class of 1909, of which he is a member, there can be no restrictions on the use of the funds. On studying Hanfstaengl’s letter it was found that he did not make clear whether he intends the money as a gift to the class or to the general University scholarship fund. The Corporation will meet next Monday again it was announced, and may have more to say by that time.
