This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 90.37.135.182 (talk) at 15:54, 16 June 2018 (Eugene Higgins, I am about sure, did not die in 1948 but in the early fifties.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Eugene Higgins was the rich heir to a carpet-making business who was a bon viveur, sportsman and philanthropist. He was a bachelor and when he died in 1948, his estate went to establish the Higgins Trust which was, at that time, the eleventh largest of its kind in the USA. The funds from this trust endowed chairs at Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale universities.[1]
