His will stated that,upon the death of the last survivor, ten years were to elapse before the entire holdings were to be sold. Then the money was to be divided three ways between his alma maters (<- I have no idea what that means): Sydney, Yale and Edinburgh universities. In total, US$11 million, of which Usyd gets $4.2m (which seems disproportionately high), is to be spent exactly how Dr McKern wished, "for the sole and special purpose of establishing medical research scholarships for investigation into the causes, prevention and treatment of mental and physical pain and distress during pregnancy, labour and the puerperium". Which means that none of my Usyd friends will ever see that money hahahaha~

Now that's just imba. While UNSW has to work hard for its money *cough* ripping off overseas students *cough*, Usyd gets $4.2m from a 66 year old will?
Oh and as always, a random pic for this post:
