YALE'S APPEAL
University Starts Campaign For Sz0,0OO,OO0 Needed to Prop
 erly Function.

F E Robinson. principal of the Putnam High school. is in charge of tht local drivc of Yale University in its campaign te raise S20 .00o GOO. If funds. according to President An gel. and the drive to be nation wide. The following paragraphs were taken from President Angclis speech.
 "lt Is long but noble history which leads from the feeble and struk rlinE Collegiate School at Saybrook to tho great Yale of our day. and every step af the way k marked hv deeds of unseliish devotion. With Us f rests Co say whether this unsuliod record of growth in power and hu= man service shall be halted. or whe- ther it shall ro forward unimpaircd to new and finer achievement
 We have been living in a time when the whole fabric of our social end economic life has been threat ened As one of the by-products of this experience there has been a worldwide rush of youth into the schools and universities. and this has occurred at a time when the cost of endowments have had their value re
 
 necessarily been involved in this situ. ation and in the effort to safe.guari her educational ideals she is bespeak- ing the assistance of her graduates.
 Despite the limitation imposed some years ago upon her entering classes. Yale has been unable to meet the financial requirements accustomed by the conditions described With her present resources she cannot be certain of securing. much less of re taining. men of the finest quality for her faculty. She cannot deal fairly with many men who have ser we'd her long and faithfully She cannot recruit good teachers in the number required to carry her in struction upon high level. All these needs have been carefully and con- servatively studied and the amount that is now sought represents the mi nimum with which it can be hoped remedy these conditions"
 In order that Yale may hold her place as leader along educational lines, there Is an imperative need that an endowment fund of approximately twenty million dollars be raise in the near future Men all over the count " have been and are Putting their shoulders te the wheel" and doing all in their power to keep Yale in a com maudinu position among shs univer- sitics of the country lt Is hoped that a large number of men and women la Inc vicinity of Putnam will feel eal- led upon to contribute very libarally to the most worthy cause All eontri- buttons should be turned in to F. le Robinson. Principal of the Putnam Hsah Sthaol. This drive for an en dowment for our Connecticut Uni yerslfy will clese about Che first of June

BJnKLEY SOUTHWORTH GRIFFIN

Washington April 26th.-W When is Connecticut man not Connecticut man?
 The answer to this question that seems most apt to an observer in the national capital would be. when hJ Is 6 member of Congress A scru. tiny of the biographical records of Senators and Representatives reveals not only that one Connecticut sena- tor and two of the states representa- tives m the House. were born out side the limits of the state but also that at least two men who are repre- senting other states in Congress claim Connecticut as their birthplace.
 Both If these Connecticut men Wia have transferred their allegiance to other states. oddly enough were born in New London county. in which the congressional district of which Put nam is a part and which is represent ed in Congress by Richard ? Free man. another native of the same county.
 Probably no member of either house was born farther away from the territory he now represents than was Senator Hiram Bingham. who is a native of Hoioluiu, Hawaii. His father was a missionary there when the islands comprised an inde- pendent kingdom. so Mr Bingham was not even born under the Ameri- can flag
 The other Nutmeg senator. George r. Mclean. was born in Simsbury, where he still lives Two more diver gent paths could hardly be taken to the Capitol than were followed by these two Senators. The one has never left his native state, except to represent it in Washington; the other. born halfway around the world from Connecticut, made his reputation iu the Andes of South America and the flying fields of France And now the two are together, as Connecticut s delegation in the United States Sen ate both probably crowuing their eu- reers in the same way,
 Native Or Tennessee
 In the House. Connecticuts most prominent representative is John O. filson. the majority leader. He IS a native of Tennessee and became an adopted son of the Nutmeg state after going north to study in Vale College and Yale Law School Since his freshman days TiIson has been a resident of Connecticut.
 Schuyler Merritt. of Stamford iE the other Connecticut congressman who was horn in another state He Is native of New York bat like Tilsaa. has been identified aith Con urctigut's affairs since his graduation from Yale.
 The other three representatives of Connecticut iu the House are "na# tive sons. They even were born in the districts they now represent Rich ard r. Freeman of New London, Puf nam's congressman. was born in New London and had his pre-congression- al carror there r. Hart Fenn, now q resident of Wethersield. close by Hartford. was born in the state capi- tai. went To school there and at Yale. and has always lived in that city or near it.
