Ellen Clarke Bertrand Society

To this day, Ellen Clarke Bertrand's bequest remains the largest testamentary gift the university has ever received. With the library as its symbol, the Bertrand Society honors Ellen and recognizes the generosity of all alumni and friends who have planned giving arrangements with the university, no matter the size of their gift or the designation.

Anyone who has an estate gift planned for Bucknell, or who has completed a life income gift, retained life estate, or other charitable trust is eligible for membership in the Ellen Clarke Bertrand Society.
