Y1LE,S BICENTENNIAL.
Tho Universtty,s Appeal for Funds 70

the alumni of the university:
"The bi-centennial Of Yale is to be
celebrated in October, 1901. The cele-
bration will not be complete if it
does not include an announcement of
large additions to the property and
funds OF the university. There are
many special needs which are mention
ed in the presidents report, mailed to
the graduates in April, 1898, and which,
it is hoped, will have the favorable
consideration of our alumni and other
friends.
"In this appeal the committee desire
to call particular attention to the nee
essity Of a large increase in the general
funds, applicable to any need of the
university, and of an adequate provi-
sion for the erection of a commemora-
tive hall which shall be completed be-
fore the date of the bi-centennial cele-
bration, and which in dignity and beau
ty shall be worthy as a gft from the
sons Of Yale to their alma mater on her
two hundredth birthday. 1t is hoped
that there may be contributed for these
purposes at least S2,000,00 Of which SO
much as may be necessary shall be de-
voted to the erection OF the Commence
rative hall, and the remainder shall be
added to the endowment of the univer-
sity.
1.-THE needs of increasing the general
funds will be evident to every mind.
Such an increase is essential to the
growing work and life of the institu-
tion. This imperative need cannot be
too urgently presented.
with reference to the Commence
rative hall there is already a. lively de-
sire on the part of the alumni that
such a building should be provided,
and that it should be ample for the
future wants of the university. Sub
scriptlons amounting to more than
$225000 have already been made. 1t is
greatly to be desired that the entire
sum mentioned shall be secured at the
earliest possible moment, but it is nee
essary, if the building is to be complct-
ed before October, 1901, that the amount
required for this erection should be as
sured before the annual commencement
in 1899. If the building is to be thus
completed the work should be begun
during the present summer. 1t is evil
dent therefore, that there is no time
to be lost, and the committee now sends
this application to every graduate of
the university with confidence that 1t
will meet with an early and generous
response. A list of the members of the
committee is enclosed. The members
will make special efforts in their sever
al localities, and may be applied to
for further information. Subscriptions
and payments may be paid to the treas
urer Of the committee, William w. Far
nam, New Haven, Conn. Subscriptions
may be paid in installn-ents if desired,
at any time up to October s, 1901. The
alumni are invited to communicate with
the secretary of the committee, Prof
Andrew w. Phillips, New Haven,
Conn, or with any member of the COM
nttee.
