FRANCIS c. BROWN MEMORIAL.
Circular Letter Sent Vale Alumni Ex-
 pIsining Why Fund is Projected


 A letter Hent Yale alumni readS as follows:-
 Dear Sir:-At the decenniaI reunion meeting of the class of 1901, the un- dersigned were appointed a committee to receive subscriptions for memorial to the late Francis Gordon Brown and were further empowered to decide on the form that this memorial should as- sume, after consulting with the Yale university authorities.
 Francis Gordon Brown died at Glen Head, L. l., on May 10, 1911. He was the son of Francis Gordon Brown and Julia Tracy Brown. Prepared at Gro ton school where he was the senior perfect and captain of the football team, he entered Yale with the class of 1901. At Yale his record as an athlete was remarkable one. He played on the university football team in his freshman year, was a member of the team for four years, and in his senior year was captain. He was cap- tain of his freshman crew and rowed at No. in the university boat in his sophomore year. He was also a mem Der of the track team in his senior year. In spite of his many athletic activities, he was an earnest student, attaining a Phi Beta Kappa stand at the end of his first two years, and graduating close to the head of his class.
 Upon leaving college, he entered the banking house of J. r. Morgan & Co., in New ' OTk city. He applied himself earnestly to his work and it was the opinion of those in a position to know that his ability would undoubtedly soon have obtained for him promin- ence in the financial world
 n r1ri1 10OE he ,,a,~;o,l ~,o.z line Lawrence Bogart and is survived by her and a son who bears his fath- CTS name.
 As man Gordon Brown was loved and admired by all who knew him. 1t is for this reason the committee thought it wise not to confine this memorial to his own class We feel that there are many outside of his own class and college who would like to help in perpetuating the memory of such a man.
 The memorial fund is to be used for some educational purpose connected with Yale university. The aim of the committee will be to make that pur- pose conform as closely as possible to what they believe would have been the wish of the one whose life 1t is tC commemorate. They will also en- ueavOr so to frame the deed of gift that it will be a constant reminder tc the undergraduate that the name of Gordon Brown stands for all that is highest and best in the life of Yale While the general form of the memor- ial has been tentatively decided upon it's final adoption is contingent upor raising a minimum fund the sun of S20,000. The committee is now pre- pared to receive subscriptions.
 Blanks are enclosed for subscriptions to be accompanied by payment, or fol subscriptions payable at some future date Gin installments if desired). The committee earnestly requests those in. tending to subscribe to notify thu treasurer at the earliest date possi. ble
