Bequest left to Med School
A scholarship fund for women studying medicine has been established with a $12,000 bequest from Gerlie Gillespie, SturGIS, Mich.
Although Mrs. Gillespie was neither a KU alumna nor a Kansas resident, she left her entire estate to the KU School of Medicine as a memorial to her employer and friend, Dr. Nina C. Wilkerson, a 1929 graduate of the KU School of Medicine.
The first Gerli Gillespie-Dr. Nina C. Wilkerson scholarships will be awarded for the 1970-71 academic year.
