Especial Letter.

The resignation OF Timothy Dwight
from the presidency of Yale university
win relieve from active duty one
Of the most celebrated men Of culture
and letters connected with an Ameri-
can institution Of learning. President
Dwight has asked to have his restgna-
ton 90 into effect at the end Of the
present college year In June, but every
effort Is being made to induce him to
reconsider his decision and to continue
to hold the reins of government over
the sons and officials Of old Eli until
the summer OF the second year Of the
new century. President Dwight has
been the head Of Yale university since
1886. when on May 20 he was unani-
mously chosen by the corporation OF
the college to succeed DR.. Noah Porter.
who had resigned six months before.
Timothy Dwight is q thorough product
OF Yale influences. He Is q grandson
Of the famous DR.. Timothy Dwight.
who was president of the college from
1875 to 1917, in the stirring years OF
the new republic. His father was James
Dwight, a merchant, and he was born
at Norwich, Conn, In 1873. he en-
tered Yale at the age Of IL and grad
uated with high rank In 1s4s. After
graduating he entered Yale q second
time as a theological student, and al
the same time became q tutor In the
college. After four years. OF work
among the students Mr.. Dwight re-
signed his professorship and went
abroad, devoting his time again to
study, which he pursued at Bonn and
Berlin. After a three years sotourn
in foreign countries he returned to
America and again became associated
with the life Of the New Haven uni
versity, being named Buckingham pro-
lessor Of sacred literature in the theo-
logical school, q position he retained
until asked to occupy the presidential
chair, left vacant by the resignation
Of Noah Porter. Professor Dwight was
also q member OF the American com
m.ttas for the revision Of the English
ven n Of the bible.
It = largely owing to the personal
zeal OF the retiring president that Yale
developed from a college into q uni
versity. This important advancement
was effected at the opening OF the new
year following his acceptance OF the
ONCE, and since the initial term Of
President Dwight Yale has steadily
increased in size, scope and impor-
lance. During his wise SUPPLEMENTARY
