Sixty seven of the Yale alumni have died

At eleven the association proceeded to the
Centre Church, when the Grafton commem-
Orstive Of the sons OF Yale who have been
engaged in the war was delivered by Rev.
DR.. Bushnell. In his remarks, he dwelt
especially upon the fact that one thing
more we are sworn by the dead TO do, and
that is to extirpste every vestige of slavery,
not merely the form, leaving the fact.
Sweep away the black codes and the IN
equality before the law. Emancipation
will be Of little worth until we put all men
upon an equality of right. It is easy to
secure negro suffrage, without even mem
tioning the word, by making the number
of male voters the basis of representation.

participated in the war. Hon. w. NJ.

War" DR. Thompson spoke OF 1861, when
he pierced flag of Sumter drsped the statue

1t has been q wal of ideas. WHY,
College couldn't have her Com
nencement one year, because all her BOYS
we're gone to the war Applsuse.1
There is no doubt now that America has
! University, of which Harvard is one
member and Illinois College another, Ken
Ton another, and Oberlin, and Williams,
and Amherst, and, to-day, Yale brings up
ler quota of seven hundred. Ageneral in
being extended to the soldiers of
