DEGREES FOR FILIPINos.

That the natives of the Philippines recipro-
cate is shown by the representation Of these
people in recent years among the students of
the university. Last year the degree OF Master
of Laws conferred upon .two Filipino stu
dents-Jose Escaler and Mariana dc Joya-who
took the highest honors in law courses. Two Of
the most distinguished men OF the islands to-
day bear honorary degrees which they came to
New Haven to receive a few years ago Don
Cayetano Arellano, the chief justice Of the
Philippines, and Pardo de Tavera, member Of
the Philippine Commission, were the men who
received these honors.
That such ties have always bound Yale gradu-
ates with peculiar intimacy to the people Of the
Far East seems remarkably fitting in the light
of the early history Of Elihu Yale. It was In the
service Of the East Indian Company and later
as head Of the settlement Of Madras, In India.
that the venerated saint Elihu' began his
career than three hundred years ago.
With the fortune which he made during his life
Of almost thirty years in India Elihu Yale

Three hundred and twenty-five ideal homes have

waits Of this city by hard headed business man
who believes that the law OF child supply and child
demand can be and should be adjusted like that of
commercial commodities It has cost this man just

He regards It money well spent, however, as il
has taken 80 children from habitations where they
were unwelcome and placed them in homes where
eople appreciate the pleasure OF caring for little
folk
Perhaps the most unusual feature of this mans
self-frlposed adjustment OF the law OF supply and
demand as il relates 10 children is that neither
sentiment romance prompted him to take up
