The Onassis Foundation launched a $15-million Center for Hellenic Studies at New York University on Monday. The funds, university president John Brademas said, will be used to buy, renovate and maintain a townhouse as a home for the Onassis Center; to endow six professorships; for scholarships, fellowships and library materials; and for a cultural program. Athens’ Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation was established in the will of Aristotle S. Onassis and was named for his only son, who was killed in an airplane crash at 23.
