Yale S20,OOO,OOO
Endowment Will
Be for Better Salaries

New Haven, Conn. Nov. 1S.-(F)--
Because the need of reconstruction of
salaries at Yale University is so
acute, the proposed $20,000,000 endow-
ment fund is to go wholly for teach
ing and research work. President
James Rowland Angel said in a cam
paign statement sent today to $4,000
alumni.
To fail in the drive, which alone
will make better salaries possible
would mean that Yale would have to
drop out of the front rank among uni
versities, he added.
That not one cent of the S20,000,000
is to go for building is considered
remarkable development in American
university life by Yale authorities.
Heretofore many large sums have
been given for dormitories, recitation
halls and other structures.
The endowment will have single
duty: To provide income which will
permit Yale to raise professors sala-
ries to a more adequate level and in
other ways to better inner facilities of
the university Intangible. perhaps,
but more vital to the real live of the
institution than any building however
imposing and fine"
