$6.9m bequest a lifeline to Sydney archeologists | The Australian

$6.9m bequest a lifeline to Sydney archeologists | The Australian: "THE University of Sydney has scored another fundraising coup, a $6.9 million bequest from Tom Austen Brown, a solicitor and part-time archeologist who died in 2009.

This is in addition to $1.8m Brown had already given the university during his lifetime.

The announcement comes a week after Pablo Picasso's Jeune fille endormie, an anonymous gift, raised $20.7m at auction in London, with the proceeds earmarked for medical research."
