A Unique Beauest for Yale

The most unique bequest Yale College ever
received has just been recorded by the will Of
Minot Booth, an eccentric citizen Of Monroe.
Several good sized quarries, located mostly in
Ansonia, are bequeathed to Yale for geological
purposes. The quarries have good practical
value, as they are composed of common granite
available for building purposes. Mr. Booth,
however, always had an idea that they would be
invaluable for scientific researches and 60 left
them to Yale. He is also remarkable for hav-
ing cut of bis heirs without shilling and left
the remainder Of his estate to the town for the
maintenance Of bridges.
