NEW HAVEN. Feb. 5.-Under the
caption a New Yale in the Orient"
the Yale Daily News prints the follow
ing, which signifies the fruition of the
efforts of DR.. Hadley and other noted
educators to establish the first great
Christian college in the Far East:
yale is soon to exert a powerful in
fiuence in the Far East An undertak-
ing of inestimable value and historic
Importance is being carried on that
bids fair to equal the greatest achieve
ment ever attempted by this university.
We speak Of the college now being es-
tabfished in Changsha, province Of
Human, China. The character and pur-
pose of this institution are not as yet
fully realized. 1t is not to be a mis-
sionary organization or a theological
seminary. 1t is TO be a college in its
real sense-a branch of Yale, laying
especial emphasis on science and medi-
cine. There will be a tuition fee, and
as far as possible the college will be
self-supporting.
1T is not to be begun on large
scale A limited amount of hand is now
being procured, and the teaching staff
viii at first be small. but in establish
ing an educational institution with only
five instructors Yale is laying the
foundations for the only Christian col
lege in the whole Chinese empire. A
definite system of education will be in
stituted that will have for it's field of
work a province with population more
than one-fourth as great as that of the
United States. The proportions to
which this college will grow and the
national prominence it will attain are
purely matters of speculation. The lit
tie college founded at Saybrook more
than 200 years ago had no brighter
prospects"
