CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - A former Virginia school teacher has donated more than $1 million to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, her alma mater.
The university said Tuesday the late Jane Iris Crutchfield left $1.1 million to the university's School of Information and Library Science. It's the largest gift the school has ever received.
Crutchfield died in 2006, at age 92.
Her gift will fund scholarships for students admitted to a master's degree program in the school.
Crutchfield worked for the Virginia Public Schools system for almost two decades before becoming a school librarian in 1960. She graduated in 1955 from the University of North Carolina.
