Trustees ; Yoe 'to Cpntest v For Disputed Acklahd Will University; President Frank Graham with the trustees of the University yesterday voted to attempt to -ecure a $1,395,000 en dowment to organize an art school and construct an art building here. ;. , The sudden action was highlighted by vigorous debate between two former governors, O. Max Gard ner and Cameron Morrison. Reports of the vote; were first indication of an impending controversy over Carolina's rights to the ? 1,395,000 left by the late William H. Ackland of Tennessee, Who died in Washington in 1940. Doubt surrounds Carolina's legal right to the money. In 1936 Ackland made a will leaving his money to found an art school at Duke University. The will stipulated that if Duke did not want the money, North Carolina would be given it, and if Carolina refused' it, the money would go to Rollins col lege. But Ackland changed his will later, eliminating provisions concerning Car olina and Rollins, after having con ferred with Dr. W. P. Few, Duke's president. But when Few died six months after Ackland, Duke's trus tees refused the estate. Former Governor Gardner stated that he believed Carolina bad a fair chance of obtaining the money, de spite the fact that the 1936 will has been superseded. But Morrison yester day rose to demand more information. State government has indicated that See UNC SEEKS, page U UNG Trustees Approve 39 Promotions Eleven Faculty Members Advanced To Professorships Meeting in the Governor's office in Raleigh yesterday, 100 members of the Board of Trustees approved allfaculty promotions as recommended by Presi dent Frank Graham and the Faculty Advisory committee.
