HK pair give Harvard $350m contribution

Harvard University has received the largest donation in its history from a foundation run by two wealthy Hong Kong brothers.

The Morningside Foundation donated $350 million to the Harvard School of Public Health, the university announced on Monday.

The donation, which is unrestricted, will support efforts that include increased financial aid for students; loan forgiveness for graduates who work in underserved areas; new classrooms; and seed money for pathbreaking research too novel to win support from other funders.
