A gift of $250,000 to the University of Chicago from Louis B. Kuppenheimer was announced by Vice President Frederick C. Woodward.
The money will be used to establish an endowment fund to be known as the Louis B. and Emma M. Kuppenheimer Foundation. The income is to be used for a study of the structure, functions and diseases of the eye, and for the support of teaching and research in the department of opthamology. The department has already been organized under the leadership of Dr. E. V. L. Brown.
Mr. Kuppenheimer’s gift endows the first of the special fields of surgery in the new medical school as distinct from the department of general surgery. Among other gifts announced were those of General Abel Davis, who gave $1,500 and that of Mrs. Joseph Schaf## who gave $100 to be used for student aid in the memory of Jane Morgenthans, a former student of the university, who died a year ago.
