Some I bequests have particular significance because of the individual's association with the University. This is true of the recent bequest of $5,000 made by Ralph Whittier, Class of 1902, to the University I of Maine Foundation. An active and loyal alumnus, Ralph Whittier devoted much time and effort to the work of various committees and contributed gen « I f» erously to all alumni projects. He served his alma mater with dis tinction and found pleasure and satisfaction in doing so. In a quiet and modest manner he helped many students who were having financial difficulties. His fine traits, combined with his ability and kindliness, won for him a place of high esteem among Maine alumni and citizens and his advice and counsel were eagerly sought.
