NOT FOUNDER OF "oLD ELT

Glorious Way.

Elihu Yale was not the founder of
Yale college, in spite of the beliefs Of
many people. But he did make the
of college possible
through a gift of money and books.
He was born in New England, pos
sibly in Boston, and went to India
when he was twenty-five, intent on
making fortune. He succeeded. He
found employment with the great East
India company, came to be governor
of the British settlement in India, mar
ried a native woman of rank, and with
his fortune left for England when he
was fifty, to enjoy the rest of his life.
AS he had no son to inherit his
wealth, and as he remained truly Amer
ican in feeling, he sent to Connecticut
to relative to come and live with him
as his principal heir. Dummer, one of
the most active worNars for the pro-
posed college in New England, wrote
asking for gifts, and Yale sent back
books, Cotton Mather cleverly suggest
ing that the new college might be call
ed ''Yale College" which, he stated,
would be better than the names of sons
or daughters. Yale liked the idea and
sent over East Indian goods to sell, the
amount of which exceeded his expecta-
