September 30, 2008
IOWA CITY (AP) — A former dean of the University of Iowa has left more than $2 million to the university.
Dewey Stuit died on Jan. 9. He was dean of the university’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences from 1948 to 1977.
The gift will be added to previous funds created by Stuit and his wife, Velma, who died in 1997. Gifts made by the Stuits when they were alive totaled more than $1.3 million.
The funds will be used for scholarships and support for the university’s Museum of Arts, departments of psychology, religious studies, theater arts and the schools of art, art history and music.
