WELLINGTON COLLEGE
ESTABLISHMENT OF BURSARY. GIFT OF £l,OOO. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, December 11. The Wellington College Board of Governors have received a letter from Mr John Gallie, of Kelburn, advising that he had paid to the Public Trustee £l,OOO to be invested in a common fund, and the amount of 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. 5.0., M.C., R.F.A., and Captain Victor J. Gallie, M.C., C. de G., 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.
