ends are Falling apart at the cages,
Notwithstanding the right angle strips
that were used In the restoration to
hold them together. Some of these
patches have themselves disappeared,
and the wide gaps reveal pile of brick
masonry that forms the core Of this
unworthy monument. The slab that
rests upon the top is still entire, though
1t is fast scaling off.
AS / stood copying the inscription
among some English tourists who knew
whence l was, l was glad to note the
evidence of our appreciation of our
original benefactor, Eli in the brief
inscription on the west end, Restored
by the authorities of Yale college" etc.
But could not feel proud. How did
wish that fine granite shaft or a fine
marble marked the spot more Adequate
ly to commemorate liberal philan-
thropist, and more substantially to ex-
press our university's regard for his
memory. Yale men will agree, when
call it sad neglect, that while we bend
to in all commendable contests and
shout Justify for Eli" we provide no
more slightly monument to his mem
Dry.
We could wish that the corporation
would take measures to restore or re-
place the present monument; or, bet
ter, that the students would handsome
ly cooperate with the corporate body.
The present year, when Yale sends q
representative crew to the Henley re-
gatta, and when, in consequences, a
large gathering of Yale men, past and
present, will be assembled in England
seems peculiarly opportune for some
such measure. Would it not be advis-
able, and altogether practicable, to se-
cure necessary permission, collect need
full funds, and in some public gather
ing on the spot, amidst the flutter of
blue and a chorus Of "Rah rah, Yale, !"
with appropriate formalities, to lay the
foundation stone Of a more adequate
monument over Eliugh Yale? How
could Yale do greater honor to her god
father? How could Yale men do them
selves more honor?
