A residuary bequest gives whatever is left after all debts; expenses and
all other specific bequests have been granted:
"All the residue of my estate, including real and personal property, I
give, devise, and bequeath to the Board of Directors of Wittenberg
College, operating Wittenberg University, located in Springfield, Ohio,
for the support of Wittenberg University."
Bequests whose uses are left to Wittenberg's discretion are greatly
appreciated since it is difficult to forecast what the future needs of the

please include the following language in your will:

Some donors prefer to direct their bequest to a specific purpose, such as
an endowed scholarship. If you wish to create a restricted bequest for a
department or other specific use, please consult with Wittenberg in advance
to assure that the purposes and wording will accomplish the desired result.
