Amherst College was ready today to accept a scholarship loan fund after Superior Court Judge David A. Pindar ruled yesterday to remove the words “Protestant” and “Gentile” from the will setting up the fund. The college had refused to accept the gift because of the religious qualifications.
The bequest had been left by an alumnus, C. Edward Mc Kinney of East Orange, N. J., who died in 1957. McKinney, a bachelor, left a $50,000 trust fund to the college for the loan fund and made the college the beneficiary of the rest of his $200,000 estate.
