A gift of $100,000 or more will eventually accrue to the Hebrew University in the form of scholarships for Jewish students, according to the will of the late Dr. Benedict Weisman, filed in Surrogates Court, Brooklyn. Dr. Weisman, who was a retired physician residing at 61 McKibben Street, Brooklyn, died on March 1.
The will, which disposes of real estate valued at upward of $100,000 provides that the residuary estate is to be divided into 15 parts, the income of each part of which is to go to relatives of the late Dr. Weisman, nieces, nephews and cousins. On the death of the beneficiaries, the principal will revert to a corporation to be formed for the administration of the fund for the Hebrew University scholarships.
