KU alumna donates $200,000 for grad school scholarships

A former Kansas University student has bequeathed $200,000 to KU’s Graduate School, a KU official announced Monday.

The gift is from Dorothy Clark Lettice, who died Nov. 9, 2002, in Santa Barbara, Calif. She attended KU with the class of 1925 but did not receive a degree.

She was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma while at KU. After leaving the university, she lived in Lawrence and in Lansing, Mich., and spent most of her life in California.

The Dorothy Clark Lettice fund will provide graduate school scholarships, according to Diana Carlin, dean of the graduate school.
