NEW HAVEN, June 24.-The fftieth ~anniver-
sary Of the Sheffield Scientific School Of Yalo
University will be held on Oct. 2s, 1897. Within
the past week / 1900 circulars of invitation to tho
celebration have been sent to students and
graduates. Tho committee in charge of tho
affair 10 composed Of Profs. W. Fl. Brewer, w.
g. Mixter. A. ]. Du Bots. C. 8. Hastings. and H.
L. Wells.
The Sheffield school was founded in 1916 by
tho late Joseph Sheffield. and was organized and
opened In 1s47. At that time 1t was entirely =
chemical school with an elaborate analytical
laboratory. 1t was tho leading feature of tho
department Of philosophy and art Of Yale and
marked q new era in American educational in
situations. The discovery Of gold In 1s49 gave
IN impetus to the school. as many students camo
to 1t for knowledge regarding the assay OF rare
metals.- No degrees were given In those days.
The class Of 1889 was the first to receive de-
grees. Profs. Brush and Brewer were both
members of this class. Tho department Of en-
cheering was added to the school in 1852 and
the consolidation of the engineering and chemi-
cal departments took place in 1887.
In 1868 Congress made an appropriation OF
land for the encouragement of scientific schools
and the Sheffield school was the first to profit by
the appropriation. Al present there are SO
members OF the faculty, IS professors. 8 assist
ant professors and instructors, 80 instructors
and $50 students associated with the school.
