 The late pr. Daniel Tyler Colt, of Norwich, who died last week, an account of whose funeral has been given, has left the munif- cent bequest of $1O0, 900 to Yale College as a tribute of love for his alma mater, from which he graduated in 1895. The deceased was. for fifty years practising physician in Boston, attaining eminence in his profession. Not long ago he removed to Norwich, retir- ing from active life. The bequest was in ac- cordance with an oft-expressed intention. His first thought was to leave it as means for the assistance of poor students by the way of loan, and this was set forth in the original will. Later, however, in acodic1 the money was left to the college corporation to be ap- piled at their direction. Two life annuities of $1, ,OOO each are to be paid to his two half sisters out of the bequest. Dr. Colt also made several other charitable bequests, the one to Yale College, however, being the largest by considerable amount To a Western college he gave $10,O0O.

Gruenert, one of the veteran directors of the German English school, truly says, much in the way of improvement of the new over the old has come to the minds of the man. agement. The frescoing is now being done, the work being done by MT. c. Schenck, whose ability and past work is guarantee of the successful accomplishment of this i'm portant section of the programme. The en- tire work of rebuilding and ornamentation will cost all of the sum received for insur- ance, and in round numbers about $7, 7,OOO will have been expended when the work is completed.
