14 — The Effect of Giving 2020 – 2021
GIFTS IN WILLS
A lasting legacy The University has had the privilege of receiving many gifts generously bequeathed in Wills. This type of support has a lasting impact and is a meaningful way for many of our alumni and friends to leave their mark, and support the University for generations to come. We hear from Dr Kristen Lippincott, who has remembered the Warburg Institute in her Will, and we find out more about what inspired her support. Dr Lippincott, thank you so much for remembering the Warburg Institute in your Will. What is your connection to the Institute? I first came to the Warburg Institute in the autumn of 1979 on the ‘invitation’ of Prof Sir E.H. Gombrich, who had been teaching a seminar at
the University of Chicago the previous spring. He felt that the Warburg would be the right place for a young art historian with a wider interest in cultural history. He was right, and I stayed under the aegis of a series of pre-doctoral and post-doctoral fellowships for the next 10 years.
