Such donations shall be irrevocable by the donor or his representatives; but if the authorities of the University, within one year after being notified thereof (which it shall be the duty of the State Treasurer to do immediately upon the making of such deposit with him), shall give notice, in writing, to the State Treasurer, that they decline to receive the benefit of such deposit, the same, with whatever interest and profits may have accrued thereon, shall thereupon be held subject to the order of such donor or his legal representatives; and if at any time the object for such donation or deposit is intended, by the legal destruction of the University, or by any other means, shall fail, so that the purpose of the gift, bequest or devise shall be permanently frustrated, the whole fund, principal and interest, then unexpended as it shall then be, shall revert to and be vested in the donor or his legal representatives.
