That article is such BS.
Lydia was my dad's mom's father's mom. My great great grandmother.
"Pleased with its progress, that year Mrs. Bradley transferred to the school the rest of her estate, including nearly 1,000 different pieces of property, reserving its use and profits during her lifetime. She died on January 16, 1908."
Yeah, let's transfer everything I own to the school for no good reason! No, it's not how it happened. Her wish was that her descendants get a free scholarship to go there. Well, BU decided she meant her children, well guess what, all of her children were already out of college! We even have the contract still. We attempted to fight it before but there was no ruling because we don't have the cash to compete with BU's lawyer's. Some ****ing bullshit...
Sorry had to express my anger.
BTW, all of her property and stuff amounted to 12.8 millions dollars back then, that's a hell of a lot to today's inflation.
