This Endorsement by Professor Hop

is chairman, to take charge of the
scheme to place such a statue on the

Mr.. Partridge in his work has taken
Nathan Hale as he was in life. He
graduated from Yale when less than 20
years of age. The attitude represents
Nathan Hale with his arms bound be-

YALE:s HEROIC SONS.
War Monument to BE Erected on tha
Campus In 1902.


Campus In 1902.
Yale is to erect a statue to her war
heroes. Every time there has been a
call for volunteers the old Connecticut
university has responded with her best.
During the Spanish-American war more
than 400 sons of Yale enlisted, and sew
eral either fell in battle or died from
disease in camps. Hundreds of Yale
students fought on both tides during
the civil war.
Perhaps the most historic son of Ell
to wear his country's uniform was
Nathan Hale, whom the British hanged
as a spy during the Revolution. So 1t
is to be a statue of this Continental hero
which Yale is to put up as a general
memorial to all her martial sons.
The idea gas first suggested by Pro-
fessor James M. Hoppin of the Yale
Art school, who proposed that the funds
left over from the mount subscribed
to purchase guns for the cruiser Yale
be applied to the erection of a war
monument. The plan has been adopted,
and William Ordway Partridge. who is a
Yale graduate, has designed a model of
the proposed statue.
Finally Professor Hoppiu a sug-
gested that the statue be erected on the
campus during the celebration of Yale's
bicentennial in 1902. On this point Pro-
fessor Hoppin says. ut would unite

looking house with a red shield (Rotn

clever eyes and firmly set lips, denoting
no want of character and determination.
Well. the old lady, though nihaoting

boundaries of the Ghetto, and every
evening she returns to the modest nttie
house in which her husband lived and
toiled and died; she says 1t VIII pring
