Construction supervisor George Kahnt, a Lutheran known as the “old man in the helmet,” bequeathed more than $100,000 to Yeshiva University, the school he helped to build. Mr. Kahnt, who lived in The Bronx, died in October at the age of 76. He joined Yeshiva in 1953, and liked to recall fondly that, as a construction worker in 1928, he helped build Yeshiva College, the first structure on what is now a multi-building campus.
