This entire story is just so heart warming and I don't know if the title/discussions right now are doing it justice.

1. The fact that this donation is 100% going towards tuition. My university has a few B's in endowment, but those money are most definitely not going towards making the tuition fees lower lol. Hopefully this will allow them to select some candidate that are struggling the most financially...

2. The donor being a 93 year old doctor/alumni of that school that studied "learning disabilities and developed screening protocols".

3. The money was from her late husband's "whole portfolio of Berkshire Hathaway stock". And before he passed, he told her to "do whatever you think is right with it" and the article ends with her saying "I hope he's smiling and not frowning". Makes me cry a little.
