PHILADELPHIA — Temple University officials aren't sure if an anonymous multimillion-dollar gift received last year is part of a string of mysterious donations to colleges led by women.

At least 13 schools with female presidents have received anonymous contributions totaling nearly $75 million in the last two months. Temple is led by Ann Weaver Hart.

The Philadelphia university received $5 million in February 2008, with $4 million of it earmarked for scholarships. University officials said Thursday the first 25 scholarships were awarded this academic year.

Last fall, Hunter College in New York received the same amount with the same stipulation. Hunter is also led by a woman.
