The University of Colorado School of Medicine at the Anschutz Medical Campus has received $1.5 million from a professor of orthopedics who died nearly 70 years ago, according to a campus press release.

Samuel Fosdick Jones, MD, pledged $1.5 million to the university after retiring from both his practice and his professorship at CU in 1930. Jones established a trust to benefit bone pathology research, which at the time was an emerging specialty in medicine.

According to the release, Jones’ estate was placed a trust that for many years distributed income to friends and family. Upon the death of the last beneficiary, the balance of this trust reverted to CU to benefit surgical bone pathology.

Jones served as the head of orthopedics at CU’s School of Medicine from 1917 through 1928, and he was on staff in 1925 when the new medical center near Colorado Boulevard and Ninth Avenue was dedicated, according to the release.

Jones died in 1946.
