MONEY TO COLLEGE WILL
 BE FOR TEACHERS SALARIES

Upon. the announcement that the gen. eral education board had allotted s150,- 900 to Connecticut college for Women, the following Statement was issued by President Benjamin T. Marshall from tie college at New London.
 Connecticut college received last week Thursday a telegram from the secretary of the General Edwcat tion Board announc- ing an appropriation from the funds of that board, with the promise of letter to follow, that should make fuller eX- plantation. The president believed it Was part of courtesy to make no public an- nouncement of the appropriation until the letter had come 10 hand. Meantime, however, he acknowledge the receipt of the telegram and expressed his gratiflca- tion in the name Of the college of the gift. The promised letter has not yet been received. but the publication in Wednesdays Associated Press dispatch es of th> appropriation granted to Con- nectieut College, as to several other col leges. makes it desirable that the col lege should give publicity to the gift and it's, sincere gratitude for the aEot- ment The amount which the General Education Board has appropriated as to the college Is s150,0Oo, toward total of | $5O0, 600, which is to be raised exclusive l ly for teachers salaries. and the board engages to pay to the college, for the next two years, s7.509. which is } per cent. 1 of the capital sum, unless the principal l is sooner paid.
 | Of coCrse the endorsement of the Gen 1 eral Education Board of the work and prospects of Connecticut College is quite the most vital and valuable feature of the gift. while the sum of money itself, $50 900 becomes the basis and sub-
 stantiaI nucleus of the funds which the 1 college may now, with much confidence, : to the public at large.
 l Gke appropriation herr mentioned is 1 he response of the General Education | Board, to the presentation of the needs and claims of the college, particularly y
 for teachers salaries, as t has been made l through several personal conferences
 with representatives of the board al | their office. 61 Broadway. New York | through the visitation Of one of theil representatives to the campus, through the authoritative presentation of tho brief justifying the existence of the col lege. and justifying an appeal for funds
 submitted in due form to the board. anC It represents, too-and this is quite a
 gratifying as anything-the sympatheti and persuasive presentation of the case o
 the college to the board, by a membe
 of the board itsef.
 l. Needless to say the gift will cheer an . renew the confidence Of all friends of tn college. Satisfaction and pleasure in tn
 college itself can only be imagined. Tn gift is a chaicng etc the college to pre-
 sent with vigor and cogency and attract iveness its work, it's service and it | prospects, with a view to raising up ne' 1 friends, with their generous gifts, in 1t behalf. and it should be q distinct s,in
 uIus to friends of the college withoI waiting for the college to seek them GU to be forward, just so far as they car
 to follow with their gifts this generou appropriation of the General Educatio Board. This adase may be appropriat too: He gives twice who gives quickly.
 and it may Lot he amiss to say, als that The who gives to 2 college gives {
 all the future"
 ? In the same moment that friends of tn
 college will congratulate it upon its goo fortunate. may the o5llege be permitte to remind it's friends how eagerly an
 hopefully 1t awaits their consequent gift
