"Graduates of Newton high schools or of any school of higher grade that may be established in said Newton - it being my desire that thereby young men and you nd women, who have a thirst for knowledge and are anxious to obtain the benefits of andeducation at a college or at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but are financially unable to do so, may be aided in the accomplishment of their desire".
