A Campbell’s Soup heiress has given a second gift of $25 million to the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.

Philanthropist Dorrance H. Hamilton’s donation, announced this week, matches one she made in November and increases the university’s endowment to more than $75 million. The fund stood at only $17 million a year ago.

Hamilton is the granddaughter of Campbell’s Soup founder John T. Dorrance. Her donations are the largest in the school’s 130-year history.
