Language barriers --- financial barriers

[Walter Slaje]

> I have not seen von Glasenapp will myself, so this is just hearsay. I   
was once told that he wanted his estate to provide scholarships for   
poor students of Indology, but his will was „perverted“ by the   
colleagues who were responsible for its execution in order to   
establish that series.

Someone or other may be inclined to spread rumours of "perverted" wills based on "just hearsay".  Scholars, in particular, may however be interested rather in facts based on evidence: On the will of Helmuth von Glasenapp and its legal execution everybody who so wishes can inform themselves by simply consulting the site http://www.glasenapp-stiftung.de/40jahre.pdf (available 24hours/day; details on p. 3ff).
Should the information given there be considered insufficient, further details can be got from the administration office:

Ego ex animi mei sententia spondeo ac polliceor
me studia humanitatis impigro labore culturum et provecturum
non sordidi lucri causa nec ad vanam captandam gloriam,
sed quo magis veritas propagetur et lux eius, qua salus
humani generis continetur, clarius effulgeat.
Vindobonae, die XXI. mensis Novembris MCMLXXXIII.
