IN MEMORY OF HIS SONS

ESTABLISHMENT OF BURSARY. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Dec. 11. The Wellington College Board of Governors has received a letter from Mr John Gallie, of Kelburn, advising that he had paid to the Public Trustee £IOOO to be invested in the common fund account, the interest derived thereby to be paid to the board for the establishment of a college bursary to perpetuate the memory of his two sons who made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War. They were Captain Oscar E. Gallie, D.S.C., M.C., R.F.A., and Captain Victor J Gallie, M.C., Croix de Guerre, R.F.A. . The donor expressed the wish that the board might be long spared to award the bursary, and his desire was that it might stimulate the recipient to emulate his sons, both old boys of the college, in character, patriotism and devotion to duty. The gift was gratefully received by the board.
