Bequest Sets Up Scholarship Fund In Nursing School A New York woman has bequeathed $383,000 to the School of Nursing to establish a scholarship fund for nursing students, according to Dr. Ruby L. Wilson, dean of the school. Mrs. Lucille Sherman of Queens County, N.Y., who died in April, 1976, left one-eighth of an estate exceeding $3 million in honor of her mother, Mrs. Anna Hoyns. “Mrs. Sherman was described to us as 'a modest Christian lady with a deep interest in nursing,' " Dean Wilson said. "We are very pleased that she chose to support our program, and her gift is especially timely since we are currently involved in an effort to obtain endowment funds for the School of Nursing. "Interest on the scholarship fund will allow a number of deserving students to pursue their nursing studies at Duke," she added. Dean Wilson said the woman also honored her mother by leaving another eighth of her estate to the nursing service program at New York City's Roosevelt Hospital. Sherman recognized her husband, who was a vice president of Standard Oil, and her father, who was president of the Harper and Row Publishing Co., through substantial gifts to other universities. Receipt of the gift bring Duke's Epoch Campaign, a $162 million fund-raising effort launched in 1973, to a current total of more than $126 million.
