Princeton settles suit, keeps control

Princeton University will keep control of most of an estimated $600 million fund as it settles a suit by descendants of the money's original donor, who said the school strayed from their relatives' original intent for the gift.

Charles and Marie Robertson gave $35 million in 1961 in a gift their heirs maintain was intended to educate graduate students for careers in government. The school will pay $40 million in legal fees and donate $50 millionfor a new foundation that will hew closer to the family's goals.
