I. AIM AND PURPOSE.

The Yale College in China was founded by a society of the graduates and students of Yale University in America. The purpose of this society is to express the spirit of Christian brotherhood, and to help a sister nation in this transition period in her history. With this aim, it is planned to found a college in which students can receive as thorough an

education for modern requirements as they would receive in an American
college. To prepare for this, a collegiate school has been opened,
offering a preparatory course of five years.

Relation to
Christianity.

In this school there is entire freedom in matters of
religion. There are no requirements to conflict with any
man's conscience. But the founders and faculty believe
that the richest element in the western civilization they

are trying to teach is the contribution of Christianity, and that religious
and moral training are essential to any education that is wholesome.
To fail, therefore, to give an opportunity of learning the teachings and
spirit of Christianity would be, not liberty, but negligence. The study
of the history, literature, and teachings of the Bible is a part of the
regular course, and the students are required to attend the services in
chapel, as in the mother college in New Haven.

## II. OFFICERS OF INSTRUCTION AND ADMINISTRATION.

1. *The Governing Board*.—This board determines the policy of the school, the curriculum, and all fundamental questions, and is the final authority in China representing the Society in New Haven.

2. *The Dean*.—The Dean of the preparatory department acts as headmaster of the school, and has entire authority in matters of discipline and administration and the direction of the faculty.

3. *The Proctor and Bursar*.—This officer acts as an assistant headmaster in matters of discipline, has charge of the dormitories and refectory, and the business management of the school.

4. *The Secretary*.—Attends to the correspondence, preparation of notices, and registration of students.

5. *Instructors*.—The members of the faculty, in addition to giving instruction, have charge of the conduct of students in the class rooms, and in any place outside the classes where students and teachers meet. They are to be obeyed at all times.

## III. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION.

1. A creditable knowledge of Chinese literature and history and ability to write the language is the requirement on which most emphasis is laid, and no student is admitted who is found deficient in this respect, whatever his proficiency in western studies.

2. The requirements for admission to the fifth or sub-freshman class are (1) Chinese composition, literature, and history; (2) arithmetic; and (3) the geography of China in detail and an outline of world geography.

FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 1913

3. For admission to advanced standing, students must pass the above requirements and, in addition, all the studies already pursued by the classes they wish to enter.

4. The dates of entrance examinations are advertised in the Chinese newspapers, and they may be found in the calendar. Applicants for admission should register their names at the proctor's office, and deposit the fee of five dollars before the examination. If the candidate is admitted, the fee will be credited towards his tuition. If he is not admitted, it will be refunded, but it will not be refunded to those who are admitted but do not remain in the school, nor to those who try to pass the examinations by dishonest means.

5. The candidates who are admitted are required to sign an agreement and to furnish a guarantor. The forms for this purpose are shown on the next page.

6. No places will be reserved for old students who do not return before the opening of school, unless they pay their tuition in advance and are given leave of absence for a definite time.

The form of agreement is as follows:—

"I promise to observe all the rules and regulations of the Yale College in China and to maintain the honor of the school.

Date............ Signature............"

The form of security is as follows:—

"I guarantee that................... a student in the Yale College in China, will pay all his required fees and observe the regulations of the school, and in case of his failure so to do, I will make good any loss or damage to the school.

## IV. TUITION AND EXPENSES.

1. The annual tuition fee for new students is eighty dollars, inclusive of board, laundry, and barber. It is payable in half yearly installments, in advance. Students who do not enter for a full year will not be admitted.

In addition to tuition fee, a student is required, on admission, to pay $17 for uniforms and to make a deposit of two dollars to cover breakage etc.

2. The tuition fee is $70 a year in the fourth and third classes, and $60 in the second and first classes, except that all new students pay $80 irrespective of class. To obtain the benefit of the reduced rate in the higher classes, students must pass all their examinations for promotion.

3. Students who take good care of their winter uniforms, need not buy new ones every year, but the cost of summer uniforms, cap and shoes must be met annually, (about nine dollars).

4. All students must purchase their text-books and stationery at their own expense. The school book-room provides these necessities at the lowest cost.

5. No bank notes from doubtful or unknown banks or firms will be accepted in payment of fees.

6. If a student leaves school during the term or is expelled for misconduct, no portion of the tuition fees will be returned.

7. New students are examined by one of the resident physicians. If, at that time, or subsequently, they are found to have an infectious or dangerous disease, they will not be allowed to remain in the school. In that case, a portion of the school tuition will be returned.

8. Students who do not pay their fees at the beginning of the term will not be allowed to attend recitations until all accounts are settled.

9. All damage to school property or the property of other students must be paid for by the offender.

10. A deposit of two dollars at the beginning of each term is required from each student to pay for breakage and damage to property. If the whole or a part of this is not required, it will be returned to the student at the end of the term.

VI. EXAMINATIONS.

The different examinations are arranged as follows.

Entrance examinations are held before the opening of each term.

Monthly or bimonthly tests are held at the discretion of the instructors, in connection with reviews.

Term examinations are held at the close of each term, on the entire work of the term.

A special graduation examination may be arranged at the discretion of the dean, and all graduating students are required to present an essay in English or Chinese for judgement by the faculty.

**Dishonesty.** Any dishonesty in examinations will be punished with severity, and usually is followed by the expulsion of the offender. In any case, he receives Zero as the mark for the examination.

**Leave of absence.** During the term examinations, no one will be given leave of absence except in cases of urgent necessity, on application from parent or guardian. Any student who is absent without leave may be excluded from admission in the next term.

No student is eligible for promotion in any subject unless he receives a mark of 60% in the examination and term average.

In case a student is allowed to divide his studies, taking part of his work in a higher class and part of it in the class below, he must maintain a passing standard of 60% in all the studies taken in the lower class. Otherwise he will not be allowed to continue any studies in the higher class.

VII. SCHOOL TERMS AND HOLIDAYS.

The New Year vacation and the national holidays will be kept according to the notifications of the Board of Education. Other holidays are given at the discretion of the Dean.

In 1913, the spring term will open on Feb. 20, with entrance and supplementary examinations. Recitations will begin on February 21.

The summer vacation in 1913 will begin on Wednesday, June 25th. and close on Wednesday, September 10th.

All students must be present on the day of opening, otherwise their places may be filled and they will not be received.

Every Saturday afternoon is a half holiday. Students must report for roll call in the assembly room at 9 p. m. Those students who live in the city may remain at home over night, on the special request of parent or guardian, but they must report on Sunday morning before 10 o'clock.

During vacation, students are not allowed to remain in the school,

VIII. LEAVES OF ABSENCE.

Leaves of absence from the school premises will not be given except for necessary reasons.

No absences from school or class on account of sickness will be allowed without a certificate from one of the resident physicians.

Students are not allowed to return home over night except at the request of parent or guardian sent directly to the Dean or Proctor, specifying the reason and length of absence required,

Students who take over four week's leave in the term, inclusive of all absences between the opening and closing days, are liable to be excluded from further study in the school.

10

Students who have had no demerits and no absences for a term will be given a special prize.

Students who ask leave too frequently will be refused readmission to the school. No leaves will be given on Sunday without good reason.

## IX. SCHOOL CEREMONIES AND CUSTOMS.

At the formal opening and closing of each term, the students will bow to the faculty according to Chinese custom.

When students meet teachers outside the class rooms, they will lift their hats, if in foreign dress or in uniform, and salute according to Chinese custom, if in Chinese dress.

In the class rooms, students will rise at the entrance or exit of a teacher.

The costume of students must follow the regulations adopted by the government.

All hats or caps having brims or visors must be removed in any of the rooms of the school.

## X. ATTENDANCE AT CHAPEL.

Attendance at daily morning prayers in the chapel at eight o'clock, and at the Sunday service at eleven o'clock, is required of all students.

Visitors are always welcomed at these services.

## XI. CONTROL OF THE STUDENT BODY.

All control of the student body is vested in the Dean and Governing Board, who will communicate with the students through the class representatives.

These representatives are chosen from each class by student elections at the beginning of each term. Each representative elected must be confirmed by the Dean, and in case he is not considered suitable for the office, a new election will be held.

No placards, circulars or notices may be posted without the consent of the Dean.

Students are not allowed to organize any societies without the consent of the Dean, and any communications between school societies and outside bodies or individuals must be conducted through the authorities of the school.

Meetings and speeches by students are only allowed with the consent of the Dean, who will appoint some one to be responsible for the same.

11

## XII. REPORTS.

At the end of each term, a report will be sent to the parent or guardian, concerning the conduct, attendance, industry and scholarship of each student, and the announcement of his success or failure to receive promotion.

## XIII. PHYSICAL TRAINING AND MUSIC.

Regular gymnastic exercises and military drill are required. Students are responsible for the care of their dumb-bells and muskets, and any damage done to them, and are required to obey the orders of the physical instructor and drill master in the use of them.

Attendance at physical exercise and drill is subject to the same rules as attendance at recitations.

Voluntary associations for the cultivation of football, baseball, and other games will be given every encouragement and facility within the power of the Dean.

Instruction in music will be given to those who have the requisite talent.

## XIV. REWARDS AND PRIZES.

1. At the close of each term, students will be rated according to the marks they have received in all subjects, including conduct, and grades published in the school notices. Those receiving over 90% will be given grade A; over 80%, grade B; over 70%, grade C; over 60%, grade D, which is the lowest grade entitling students to credit for any studies pursued.

2. The student in each class who receives the highest mark for the entire year in all subjects, including conduct, will be given a scholarship for the ensuing year. This scholarship entitles him to free tuition, but the incumbent must pay for his board ($30.00) and uniforms ($17.00).

The holder of such a Class Scholarship must maintain a fair record in studies and conduct, or the honor will be taken from him.

3. Students who maintain a record of grades A or B for their entire course, will be graduated "magna cum laude," or "cum laude."

4. Prizes will be given to all students who have received no demerits and no marks for absence during the entire term.

5. A list of books for voluntary summer reading will be posted before vacation. In September, an examination will be held on these books, and those who pass the examination will be given a prize of books.

12

## XV. EXPULSION.

Students may be expelled or excluded from further study in the school for the following reasons, at the discretion of the Dean.

1. Endangering the moral welfare and honor of the school.

2. Insubordination and disrespect of authority.

3. Physical violence to fellow students.

4. Drunkenness and gambling.

5. Inciting students to disobedience or insubordination.

6. Incurring 100 demerits in one term.

7. Dishonesty in examinations.

8. Over four week's absence in one term without an excuse approved by the Dean.

## XVI. MARKS FOR CONDUCT.

The maximum mark in conduct is 100%, as in the studies of the curriculum. Any demerits are deducted from this maximum, and when a student has received 100 demerits, his mark for conduct is zero, and he is obliged to leave the school. His mark for conduct is averaged with the other marks in determining his grade, and in assigning the class scholarships.

The number of demerits given for different specific offenses, under ordinary circumstances, may be seen in the rules, printed in Chinese.

## XVII. RULES FOR CONDUCT.

Students are expected to conduct themselves as gentlemen at all times, and to remember that where many are living and working together it is necessary to be constantly considerate of the wants and right of others. If this general rule is remembered, specific rules for the different activities of school life will not be necessary. But for the sake of those who are unaccustomed to the necessities of community life in a school, detailed rules will be found in Chinese.

Among the special rules, the following are to be noted.

In the evening study hour from 7 to 9:30 p.m., students are to observe the same rules as in class, except that freedom of communication is allowed, if quietness is preserved and others are not disturbed. An instructor will be present to help students in their study and to superintend the work of the school.

Students are expected to keep their own rooms and beds in order, and to leave no money or valuables in the dormitories.

13

Students will arrange with the proctor for their bath hours, at least twice a week.

They will also arrange for the services of the barber, at hours which do not conflict with recitations.

Students will have their soiled clothes ready for the laundry, each article plainly marked, on Saturday of each week. Not more than eight pieces are to be sent at one time. They will be returned at the end of the week.

A letter box is provided, the contents of which will be sent to the post office at 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. daily. Students are not allowed to send letters for local delivery by the school servants, but should post them in the letter-box, properly stamped with one cent stamps.

## XVIII. TIME TABLE.

The daily routine of the school is shown in the following table:—

<table><tr><td>7:00 a.m.</td><td>Rising bell.</td></tr><tr><td>7:30 "</td><td>Breakfast.</td></tr><tr><td>8:00 "</td><td>Assembly in the chapel.</td></tr><tr><td>8:30 to 12:20 p.m.</td><td>Recitations and study.</td></tr><tr><td>12:30 p.m.</td><td>Dinner.</td></tr><tr><td>1:30 to 4:20 p.m.</td><td>Recitations and study.</td></tr><tr><td>4:30 to 5:00 "</td><td>Physical and military training.</td></tr><tr><td>5:00 to 6:00 "</td><td>Recreation and athletic sports.</td></tr><tr><td>6:15 p.m.</td><td>Supper.</td></tr><tr><td>7:00 to 9:30 p.m.</td><td>Evening study hour in the assembly room.</td></tr><tr><td>9:30 p.m.</td><td>Retiring bell.</td></tr><tr><td>10:00 "</td><td>Lights out.</td></tr></table>

Dec 6. 12

With Thanksgiving the last of the annual college athletic contests are ended, and of all the brunt of them there will be no memory or remnant a hundred years hence; but

the world will still ring with the deeds of college men who have left football behind them and have done big work for country and the world. As an example of such importance a thousand-fold greater than what fills the dailies we note what in six years a band of Yale men have done in China. They started a Yale school and hospital in the city of Chang-sha. They have a 20-acre campus and buildings to accommodate ninety students, and they treat over 10,000 patients a year, and the officials of the Province of Hunan, so long hostile to foreigners and with a population of twenty-two millions, have practically committed the supervision of the health conditions to these Yale men, and now, following Yale's example, Oxford and Cambridge universities in England, and in this country Harvard, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Oberlin, etc., have been stimulated to send similar bands to China, while some hundreds of other college men are in this and other ways doing enthusiastic work for the reconstruction of China.

YALE MISSION IN CHINA.

Troy Times

March 1, 1912

A Non-Sectarian Movement by Yale University Graduates to Develop Western Ideas in the New Republic—A School for Higher Education—Western Medical Training Most Needed.

The attention of all nations is being centred upon the progress and development of China. The military part of the revolution having been consummated, the period of reconstruction is at hand under the rule of the new republic. Other nations are particularly interested in the result of this rebuilding of the life and ideas of this wonderful people, for all realize that China may become a mighty power for good or evil depending upon the influences that predominate the reconstruction.

The missions of the Christian church have a great opportunity before them for rendering service to China; in remolding the character of the people and in educating the children. The desire of the people themselves, especially the younger generation, for Western civilization seems to point to the success of missionary endeavor.

Among the missions established in China the Yale Mission occupies an unique place. Incorporated in 1902 as the Yale Foreign Missionary Society—"a non-sectarian layman's movement among Yale men to turn to practical account in Christian work some portion of that unified mass of vital energy known as the Yale spirit." While it has no official connection with the university, it is directed, manned and financed by Yale graduates. The mission does not seek to compete with the missionary societies of the Protestant churches, but aims to "teach rather than to evangelize China." In this field of endeavor the Yale Mission stands alone.

Active work began in 1906 in Changsha, the capital of the Province of Hunan, at the invitation of the missionary bodies

others, if they are 'good mixers,'
broad-minded, manly, sympathetic,
are liked by the Chinese. The
Young Men's Christian Associa-
tions are amazingly successful.
They have set a pace which the
Chinese appreciate. The introduc-
tion of our games opens the door
for better things. Medical men, as
practitioners or teachers, are wel-
comed. Probably every mouth in
China is a purgatory of toothache,
and dentists are needed.

geologists and miners will emanci-

move the Winter's chronic shiver.
The wasteful torrents which gully

flood the plains and destroy multi-
tudes with famine and fever, will be
mastered and subdued by American
engineers.

claims of China on the scholar, the

Christian. In our generation we
have a chance of winning and de-
serving the lasting friendship of

dressed crowds of young men in the largest theatres or huge extemporized tents, sometimes over 3,000 students listening to their message in a land where not long ago martyr's blood watered the roots of the tree of liberty and sublime faith. There is no such land or people as the "changeless East." Only a few days ago the Y. M. C. A. in Peking held a religious service on the high altar of The Temple of Heaven, where the Emperors of China formerly offered their annual sacrifices, and 15,000 students were reached in Peking in a single week by the message of Christian men from American colleges.

"The oft-told story of Pitkin at Paoting-fu belongs to the glories of Yale and reflects luster on our whole country. When he was going to his martyrdom he sent his last message to his wife in America: 'Tell her that God was with me at the last; that His peace was my consolation; tell her to send our boy Horace to Yale and tell him twenty-five years from now to come out and take up my work in China.' In some way the name of Pitkin should be held aloft in China by the sons of Yale, in some permanent and useful institution. Best of all it would be if his spirit should possess with divinely inspired heroism and enthusiasm all the students of the ancient college and keep them in friendly touch with the most powerful nation on earth, when once its energies are emancipated by science, virtue and religion."

receiving such a variety of good food well prepared and, considering all the circumstances, very well served. The speakers could no longer dwell, with the assurance of popular appreciation, on the "festive chicken bone of Commencement." The Dining Hall management left a very good impression.

## The Dinner.

The preliminary announcements of the President for the year included the statement that the gifts and promises of gifts, some of them in the "futurest kind of a future," would amount to a million dollars. He also announced the reappointment of Messrs. Merrill, Thacher, Barnum and Brown as directors of the Alumni University Fund and the appointment of Mr. William B. Davenport in place of one of the directors who had resigned.

The formality was gone through with of announcing the election of Henry B. Sargent as member of the Corporation, which fact had been assured for a month or more. It seemed, however,

man who was in public life, where he was bound to be the subject of so much misunderstanding, when there would be necessarily imputed to him false motives for his best work and when there was ever present with him the consciousness that he was falling far below his ideals. The lesson for one to learn in public life was the lesson of patience and the faith that the tide of better things was moving in, however slowly. He gave a few facts on the Civil Service of the United States. In 1883 there were ten thousand men under protection of Civil Service rules; to-day there are over a hundred thousand. Surely has the Monroe Doctrine become established, and with it has been further strengthened the peace and prosperity of the nations of this hemisphere.

(a) The permanent membership shall consist of twenty men, as follows: the President and the Secretary of the University; three members of the Corporation; eleven members of the University faculties, each of the following departments being represented by at least one member—Academical, Sheffield, Divinity, Law, Medical, and Graduate; the President of the American Board and two other representatives of the Board, and the University General Secretary of the Yale Young Men's Christian Association.

Vacancies occurring in the University portion of the permanent membership of the Council shall be filled by vote of the Council, exclusive of the members of the American Board. Vacancies occurring in the representatives of the American Board shall be filled by its Prudential Committee.

(b) The elective membership shall consist of twenty graduates of Yale University.

Immediately after they shall be assembled in consequence of the first election by the permanent membership, they shall be divided into four groups. The members of the first group shall serve for one year and until their successors are duly elected and qualified; the members of the second group shall so serve for two years, the members of the third group shall so serve for three years and the members of the fourth group shall so serve for four years, so that one-fourth may be chosen every year.

One month before the annual meeting of the Society it shall be the duty of the nominating committee to nominate ten candidates from the membership of the Society, and submit the list by mail or otherwise to each member, who may elect five of these names or may substitute therefor names of eligible candidates of his own choosing and return his vote to a designated officer on or before the day previous to the annual meeting. The five candidates receiving the highest number of votes shall be elected for the ensuing four years and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

3. It will present annually to the American Board a report of its work for the year.

B. The American Board:

2. It places at the disposal of the Yale Mission its agencies for the purchase and distribution of missionary supplies, and the forwarding of funds.

3. It will give to the Yale Mission in case of any important difficulty arising with native government or people, the same moral support and good offices with the home government, if necessary, as would be brought to bear in the case of one of its own missions under similar circumstances.

ART. VI.—AMENDMENTS.

This constitution may be amended at any annual meeting of the Society by a three-fourths vote of the members present, provided that notice of such amendment has been sent to the members one month before such meeting.

George F. Gebhardt, a graduate of the Boston School of Technology, and for the last few years an instructor in the Armour Institute of Technology, at Chicago, has been elected to fill the chair of Mechanical Engineering in the Armour School. He will take charge of the Department, which is one of the most important engineering branches in the institution, with the beginning of the next fall term. Prof. C. V. Kerr, the former Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Armour Institute, has resigned to leave the city. Much of the work in mechanical engineering will be carried on next year in the new shop building, which was erected by a special endowment from Mrs. P. D. Armour and J. Ogden Armour. The new building will be ready for occupancy by next September.

Dear Sir :

In 1903, the Yale Foreign Missionary Society of New Haven accepted the urgent invitation of the Hunan Missionary Association of the Hunan Province, China (which has a population of 22,000,000 people), to undertake the work of higher education in Changsha, the capital of that Province. The work was begun in 1906 by the founding of a collegiate school, which has grown now into a college, on the medical and college staff of which there are ten Yale graduates. The accommodations permit only of receiving ninety Chinese students, yet as evidence of the work accomplished, even with these limited appliances, over 10,000 patients were treated by the hospital staff during the year ending October, 1912.

Because of the work thus accomplished, as well as the opportunities offered for National usefulness, Dr. Arthur H. Smith, the author of "Chinese Characteristics," wrote that this is "the greatest opportunity any university ever had for doing a matchless work for humanity." Yale graduates have not been neglectful of this great opportunity, and from all the large cities in the United States have contributed to the current expenses or to the building fund. In Massachusetts, $8,000 was raised by an alumnus towards a $10,000 library. A New York alumnus has promised a 100 bed hospital. The Treasurer has received $13,500 for other buildings, and several thousand dollars more have been pledged by other New York Alumni. The Chinese themselves have supplied all the funds necessary to purchase the new twenty acre campus and to pay a large and increasing share of the current expenses of both the college and hospital departments.

The cost of the new Recitation Hall is estimated at $25,000, of which $4,500 has been pledged. The Philadelphia Committee have suggested that the fund raised here be devoted to the new Recitation Hall, and they desire to enlist the cooperation of all Yale men living in or near Philadelphia in raising the sum necessary to complete the balance unpledged. If the Yale men of Philadelphia appreciate the opportunity thus offered to them, it should be possible to raise this whole amount and thus to give a great stimulus to the work.

Subscriptions should be sent to Mr. John Hampton Barnes, the Treasurer of the Philadelphia Committee. The payment of subscriptions can be postponed to January 1, 1914, if desired.

ANNUAL BUDGET—DIVISIONS.

I. PERSONAL BUDGET OF THE FACULTY.

II. GENERAL EXPENSES—Regular.

III. SPECIAL EXPENSES—Occasional.

IV. HOME OFFICE EXPENSES IN AMERICA.

METHOD OF SECURING FUNDS.

I. Personal Budget of the Faculty:

(a) Chinese teachers. Met by tuition charges.

(b) *American Professors, Doctors and Nurses.
Met by personal salary groups. (cf. page opposite).

*N.B.* Over half of the total annual budget comes under this "personal expense item" (16). Hence its vital importance relative to the growth and future development of the whole work. For items see below.

II. General Expenses—Regular:

(viz., annual running expenses outside of personal expenses).
Met by annual subscriptions to the general funds.

Special Groups { Dean Wright's at $100 a year.
Director Chittenden's at $25 a year.

Unspecified general subscriptions averaging $10 a year.

III. Special Expenses—Occasional:

(viz., land, buildings, equipment, outfits, furloughs, etc.).
Met by special appeal to individuals for large units, as needed;
also by increasing gifts from the Chinese themselves—already the
hospital is four-fifths self-supporting.

IV. Home Office Expenses in America:

Met by a small group of friends as a separate budget.
Hence every dollar given directly to the work reaches China.

Names of subscribers and details of budget showing annual receipts and expenses are published in the Financial Report each June.

SALARY GROUP SYSTEM.

Items of "Personal Budget of the Faculty" included under 16 above.

1. Salary, . . . $1,200 a year ($800 if single).

2. Insurance, . . . 200 a year

3. Summer Change, . . . 75 a year ($30 if single).

4. †Child Allowance, . . . { 100 a year, for ages 1 to 7 years.
                          200 a year, for ages 7 to 14 years.
                          300 a year, for ages 14 to 21 years.

Minimum total a year per group—$1,030, if single.

Minimum total a year per group—1,475, married, but no children.

Maximum total a year per group—2,475, ultimate limit for any one family.

† N. B. Child allowance limited to $1,000 a year regardless of size of family.

FORMATION OF EACH SALARY GROUP.

This follows the preliminary appointment of candidates by the Execu-
tive Committee and the successful passing of the physical test given
by the Society's Medical Examiner. Final appointment is with-
held until the financial support of the salary group is fully assured.

a. Permanent Committee of three (3) key men for each group.

b. Number in each group limited to twenty-five (25) members.

c. Average annual subscription per member is approximately $100.

d. Minimum annual subscription per member is $25.
(the only exception to this rule is in case of close personal friends unable to give the minimum, but who will underwrite that amount, securing the difference from other friends similarly fixed and only after conferring with Society's Treasurer.)

e. Method of securing members is through personal *viva voce* inter-
views by the Group Committee in conjunction with the
Associate Secretary.

f. Each Group must be completed before its personal representa-
tive sails for China, and vacancies occurring in a Group
through death or otherwise will be filled by new members
through the Group Committee.

g. No Representative of a Group is required to secure subscrip-
tions for his personal budget either before or after going
to China. He is expected, however, to write the best newsy
letter he can to his Group twice a year to keep the mem-
bers permanently interested in the work. These letters
will be duplicated and sent to every member each winter
and in the summer vacation.

h. All contributors are thereby members of the incorporated society, with headquarters in New Haven, and are entitled to vote at its annual meeting on Sunday evening of Commencement Week. Each will receive copies of the Annual Report and other publications of the Society.

i. All subscriptions are sent directly to the Society's Treasurer in New Haven on receipt of the annual notice from the Treasurer or the Group Committee.

The men who go out to China give their all. Is it asking too much of classmates and friends who stay in America to give a portion of their time and means for a real share in the work as potential service?

NOTES
FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF
FRIENDS OF THE NEW
YALE IN CHINA

"A word to the wise"

JULY, 1912

¶ The following notes, sent out for the consideration of Yale men in different cities, record some of the good suggestions received as to ways in which they can be of service to Yale in China.

¶ 1st. An interesting meeting of some kind in behalf of Yale in China should be held at least once a year in cities where there is a group of Yale men. Such meetings may be made to serve the additional purpose of increasing the general interest in the welfare of China. It would probably be most effective to co-operate with others interested in China and to arrange for a joint meeting, a "China dinner" or a "China luncheon," such as was held at the University Club, Philadelphia, in May, 1912. It has been pointed out that the local Yale in China Committees have a unique opportunity to lead in drawing together others who are having a part in the uplift of China, in addition to building up the new Yale.

¶ 2d. It would be best to have one man in each city who would arrange for a reasonable amount of publicity. Reports, news-letters and pictures can be obtained from the offices in New Haven or New York.

¶ 3d. A play such as "Jim Don-lee's Music Drama" which followed Dr. E. H. Hume's talk on the Chinese Revolution, at the Cleveland Yale smoker in April, suggests a novel and attractive method of getting men to consider the situation in

China. The play was written by C. R. Housum, '08, who, by the introduction of such good characters as "Pres. Had-lee," gave a strikingly oriental aspect to Yale life.

¶ 4th. The matter of bequests might well be borne in mind. There are, undoubtedly, people who, on account of their desire to assist the Chinese, would be glad to have the Yale in China work brought to their attention and to leave part of their money for some phase of its development.

¶ 5th. It would be well to have a number of men in each city prepared to speak on Yale in China. They would find that the story of the starting of this enterprise, and the achievements of the past few years, make stimulating material to put before any audience.

¶ It is a help to those at Changsha and others here in the United States to know that busy men in many cities have the interest of our work at heart.

MR. AND MRS. GEORGE DOUGLAS MILLER INVITE YOU TO MEET DOCTOR AND MRS. HUME OF CHINA AT THE ALBANY INSTITUTE, NO. 125 WASHINGTON AVENUE, ON SATURDAY, THE 7TH OF DECEMBER, AT 7:30 P. M.

AIDED BY STEREOPTICON DR. HUME WILL TELL OF THE WONDERFUL AWAKENING OF CHINA AND OF THE PART PLAYED IN HER RECONSTRUCTION BY THE EDUCATIONAL AND MEDICAL WORK OF AMERICANS, AND MORE ESPECIALLY BY THE COLLEGE AND HOSPITALS MANNED BY YALE GRADUATES AND MAINTAINED BY YALE MEN — ALTHOUGH BOTH THE CHINESE AND ENGLISH GOVERNMENTS HAVE, BY GENEROUS GRANTS, GIVEN THE WORK THE IMPRIMATUR OF THEIR APPROVAL.

PLEASE BRING WITH YOU ANY FRIENDS WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED; FOR THIS WORK—LIKE ALL YALE WORK—IS NOT LOCAL BUT NATIONAL AND ENTIRELY NON-SECTARIAN.

THE YALE IN CHINA WOMAN'S LEAGUE

A Yale graduate has just given a new hospital for the city of Changsha. Working side by side with the Yale College School, this hospital will be a vital part of Yale's outreaching educational work in Central China, and will afford the only adequate provision for the care of the sick in a city of 300,000 people.

Over 10,000 patients were treated at the present hospital last year and many surgical operations were performed, but obstetrical and gynecological patients of the upper classes are seldom allowed to receive treatment from a man. Unless the new hospital, at their doors, shall have a woman physician and adequate nursing staff, many women will die in childbirth or from curable disease. And further, the excessive infant mortality, estimated at 70%, will scarcely be lessened unless the hospital is able to employ several district nurses capable of giving instruction in the homes.

The Chinese officials have asked our hospital staff to take the direction of the hygienic work for the entire province of Hunan and to organize a campaign of preventive medicine. This assures for the work of the Yale Hospital, when once thoroughly started, the encouragement, coöoperation and financial backing of the local authorities.

To aid in the work of the School and Hospital, there has been formed the Yale in China Woman's League, to which all women with Yale affiliations or interest are eligible for

membership. It will have no formal organization and no stated meetings, but members will hear directly from the foreign secretary at Changsha, at least once a year, as to the progress of the work in which they have taken a personal part. At another time the needs of the School will be presented as they arise; but the first aim of the League will be to supplement the work of the hospital by raising the amounts indicated below:

<table><tr><td>Annual salary of woman physician</td><td>$830.00</td></tr><tr><td>Annual salary of supervising nurse</td><td>630.00</td></tr><tr><td>Annual salary of each district nurse</td><td>180.00</td></tr><tr><td>Annual endowment for bed for woman or child</td><td>50.00*</td></tr></table>

pathology, chemistry, etc., and for X-ray diagnosis. Construction will be of brick and reinforced concrete and, wherever possible, Chinese architectural lines will be followed.

Possessing, as it will, all the material equipment needed to make it a model institution for treatment and research as well as the adequate basis for a modern medical school, this hospital can only hold the position it has a right to expect if it has a staff of trained workers, each a specialist. Three men and one woman physician, as well as two supervising nurses, are already assured. More are needed and will be appointed as fast as funds are provided for their salaries and to complete the annual expense budget.

Yale men cannot fail to rejoice over the splendid opportunity that this their new hospital will afford, not only for the demonstration of practical Christianity, but also for the study of disease and for clinical instruction in medicine to the future doctors of China.

EDWARD H. HUME, '97

## IV. Student Activities at Changsha

On account of very limited space for outdoor exercise in the middle of the city, athletic progress has not been as rapid as might be desired. But interest has grown from the stage of faculty initiative to that of student organization for soccer and tennis. Large city athletic meets have twice been held, and our boys have gone in with enthusiasm and taken more than their proportion of honors. It needs only the enlarged opportunities of the new campus to develop a strong interest in outdoor sports which ought greatly to improve the health and general tone of the student body.

In music and dramatics a little has been done, and the latter, being more suited to Chinese tastes and abilities, promises to be especially successful. As a supplement to their class-room work, the students have organized various societies among themselves, such as "The Speak English Well Society," which works toward its end by fining any member who talks in Chinese during certain hours of the day. They have had debates, talks by their own members or by one of the teachers, and one society ambitiously published a first and only issue of a magazine.

The Christian boys, about twenty per cent of the school, have a Y. M. C. A. in which the faculty also assist. Weekly meetings are held, and three or four delegates are sent each

summer to the conference corresponding to Northfield. Another branch of student interest might be called patriotic. At the time of the Revolution, some left the school to enlist in the army, and those who remained asked to have their food reduced and the money saved given to the new Government. A Republican Club was formed and marched in various celebrations, such as the Chinese Independence Day, October 10.

These are small beginnings, but they are of importance in their help toward building up what is so essential for any educational institution—a strong school spirit.

## V. Reflex Influences in America

"Ya-li" will stand or fall on its success in aiding the movement to develop a truly Christian civilization in Asia. But, incidentally, experience has shown that its influence on the home country is also considerable.

The changed attitude of the *student body* towards the whole missionary movement in the past decade is noticeable. Twenty years ago a man who was deeply interested in foreign missions was apt to be considered somewhat of a dreamer or a crank. To-day the work of higher education, under Christian auspices, as an aid to civilization in the Orient, is generally recognized. It is no longer considered extraordinary when a man of ability and social position in the student world decides to go out to China for a year or for life. The recent "Yale in China" edition of the undergraduate "Record" was illustrative of this new point of view. "Ya-li" was the center of many shafts of wit but there was nothing unkindly in the whole number. The new institution's right to exist was accepted as a matter of course, whereas a generation ago it might have been held up to ridicule.

The second and larger constituency that has been influenced for good is the *graduate body*, on which more slowly but equally surely the important work at Changsha is making its impression. No one who was present at the

PROFESSOR HENRY P. WRIGHT

for twenty-five years Dean of Yale College, and actively identi-
fied with Yale in China since its beginning, says:

"I believe thoroughly in the work being done in the school and hospital by Yale graduates at Changsha. I know all the American teachers and physicians that have been sent out; they rank well among the best men that Yale has graduated during the last ten years. It is a privilege to me to help sustain a movement that is sure to be of such lasting benefit. I do not know of any other investment for Yale men which seems likely to do more for the advancement of the Kingdom of God in the world."

## FORMATION OF EACH SALARY GROUP.

This follows the preliminary appointment of candidates by the Executive Committee and the successful passing of the physical test given by the Society's Medical Examiner. Final appointment is withheld until the financial support of the salary group is fully assured.

e. Method of securing members is through personal vivâ voce interviews by the Group Committee in conjunction with the Associate Secretary.

f. Each Group must be completed before its personal representative sails for China, and vacancies occurring in a Group through death or otherwise will be filled by new members through the Group Committee.

g. No Representative of a Group is required to secure subscriptions for his personal budget either before or after going to China. He is expected, however, to write the best newsy letter he can to his Group twice a year to keep the members permanently interested in the work. These letters will be duplicated and sent to every member each winter and in the summer vacation.

YALI HOSPITAL WORK.

Extension in Scope—New Department
Formed—Changes in Staff.

The Yale Mission in China has had a successful year in the hospital work which is an important part of its activities. In contrast to other years the hospital work has continued without interruption instead of closing during the Summer. The Hospital staff has changed to some extent. The services of Mr. Tsen were obtained last year, and his work has been to oversee the dispensary and act as proctor to the students. Miss Wang has been assisting Miss Gage in the women's wards. Mr. Wu is temporarily engaged as the Chinese secretary in the absence of a regular appointee since the departure of Chen Hsien. Dr. Little has finished his term as *locum tenens* and has returned to America.

A gift of $5,000 from Governor Tang for hospital extension work came at an opportune time. The

gift was made as a partial acknowledgment of the assistance rendered by the Mission in Red Cross work and in appreciation of its work in the community. A house adjoining the Hospital has been rented, thus increasing greatly the accommodations. Additions have been made to the hospital equipment in beds, bedding, surgical instruments, etc.

The total number of patients treated in the Hospital wards during the year was 400, an increase of 31 over last year. The total number of out-patients treated was 14,639. Out-calls to the number of 713 were recorded, 283 being to the homes of Chinese.

YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY

YALE IN CHINA

To Demonstrate to the New Chinese Republic old Yale's ideals of honesty and service: to show that character and not merely Western methods make a nation great; these are reasons why Yale men have backed the new Yale at Changsha.

These Purposes are being Achieved by means of a collegiate school and a hospital. The school has opened the eyes of the Chinese in Hunan to the meaning of thorough teaching and thorough discipline. It has won the approval of the neighboring gentry and literati.

The Hospital has Won the City to such confidence in the doctors at "Yali," that they were loyally supported in carrying on Red Cross work during the Revolution; they have been the recipients of many voluntary gifts; and now they have been asked to take charge of a medical school to be built and supported by the Province of Hunan.

New Buildings and Increased Budget make the need for funds imperative. A splendid hospital, a chapel, three professors' houses, a dormitory are promised in full, and a recitation hall in part. Additional professors' houses, a power plant, and a water system are needed at once. A large increase in general subscriptions is necessary to cope with the growing work.

To Develop Right Leaders for the Great New Republic is of the utmost strategic importance. No investment can have more far-reaching effects for good, than an investment in this work undertaken and supported by Yale Graduates.

I want to thank you all for the royal treatment you gave us everywhere except for the hard settlement on the football field. You did it as neatly as you could but we are still sore. We hope the like will never happen again.

"I do not think our fellows have 'lost too much face' to meet you again next year. I was much pleased to note the fine football spirit manifested so strongly both in your players and rooters. I was glad that the Yale fellows were so urgent in their invitation to have our fellows to dinner before leaving, not only because they were hungry but also to show our fellows the spirit of Yale. It made the defeat seem less bitter to them I am sure. They have much to learn in the lessons of defeat.

"Thanking you for the splendid luncheon sent us to the boat, I close, "C. P. ALTHAUS."

Mr. Dickson H. Leavens, 1909, at present a student at the Graduate School, and for two years an instructor at Yale-in-China, gave the following interview to a representative of THE NEWS last night:

"I found teaching at Yale-in-China a most unique and interesting experience for a young graduate. First of all, I would mention the trip to China. Besides all the interests of a long voyage there is a journey of 800 miles river travel from Shanghai to Changsha. Here one gets his first impression of

YALI ANNUAL REPORT.

Gift of $5,000 For Medical Department
—Building Plans.

The seventh annual report of the
Collegiate and Medical Departments
of the Yale Mission in China is a
seventeen-page pamphlet containing
the annual report of the Yale Col-
legiate School by Dean Brownell
Gage, '98, and of the Medical De-
partment by Fu-Chun Yen, who
graduated from the Medical School
in 1909.

At the present time there are eight
Yale graduates in the Collegiate
Department: the Rev. Brownell
Gage, '98; the Rev. William J. Hail,
1904 D.S.; Dickson H. Leavens,
1909, now securing further prepara-
tion at Yale; Kenneth S. Latour-
ette, 1906; the Rev. Edwin D. Har-
vey, 1907; Oliver C. Morse, 1910;
Harold V. Smith, 1912 (on fur-
lough 1912-13); Paul S. Achilles,
1913, and S. Ellsworth Grumman,
1913; and in the Medical Depart-
ment: Edward H. Hume, '97,
physician in charge; and Fu Chun-
Yen, M.D. 1909; also Dr. Alfred C.
Reed, formerly of the U. S. Public
Health Service.

There was a marked growth in
every division of the Medical De-
partment. The total number of "in
patients" treated in the hospital
wards during the year was 400, an
increase of 31 over last year. Of
this number, 19 were in the hospital
at the beginning of the year, making
the total number of admissions
377.

YALE MEN TO TAKE
UP WORK IN CHINA

On the S. S. Mongolia, sailing from
San Francisco, August 25, will be a
party of Yale men on their way to
Changsha where are located the col-
lege and the medical work maintained
by the alumni of that institution. In
the party are Dr. E. H. Hume and
family; Prof. and Mrs. D. H. Leav-
ens; Drs. Augusta A. Sassen, a lady
physician, and J. Ronald Robb of
Minneapolis and Archibald B. Fisken
of Seattle. The last two are sons of
business men of those respective cities
and are graduates of the last class
of Yale. F. L. Chang, another recent
graduate, sailed a few weeks ago with
his bride. Mr. Chang is trained in
forestry and expects to show the
Chinese in Hunan province how to
build rapid forest growths. Dr. Hume
is the head of the medical department
and has been home to select instruc-
tors in the medical school now being
organized. In co-operation with the
Chinese government.

Prof. Leavens has already had three
years' experience at Changsha, return-
ing to America to do advanced work
in mathematics. Dr. Sassen was born
in Germany, coming to this country
as an infant, and her efforts to secure
an education and fit herself to do
medical work among Chinese women
and children are a well known story in
collegiate circles.

The Rockefeller foundation, or more
properly speaking, the China Medical
Board, which is directly charged with
this new work in the orient, is much
interested in what Yale is doing in the
interior and especially in the winning
of the confidence of the Chinese as
shown in co-operative effort. It has
instructed Dr. Welch of Johns Hop-
kins and Dr. Abraham Flexner to
visit Changsha this fall. Those gentle-
men are now on their way across the
Pacific. Mrs. Elizabeth Miles Morton.
a Johns Hopkins trained nurse, sailed
some weeks ago to take charge of the
training school at Changsha.

small tuition fees, the work of the Yale Mission is entirely supported by contributions from Yale men and their families.

The tentative plans for a college campus have been submitted to the Mission in Changsha and to the criticism of others in China whose experience in building is of value. The style of architecture adopted suggests rather than imitates that of the Chinese; there is no intention to sacrifice utility or health to conform to the characteristic style of the country, but some effort will be made to make the group of buildings as little "foreign" in their outline as possible. The plans already completed include a dormitory for 130 students and two instructors, a lecture hall, a chapel—the gift of Miss Olivia Stokes—four houses for married professors, and a hospital. The latter, a generous gift of one of the Mission's most loyal supporters, will when completed be the most perfectly equipped institution of the kind in central China. It provides space for a hundred beds besides private wards and rooms for the two American nurses already in residence. Ten thousand dollars have already been raised for the Seabury Memorial Library; when the $15,000 necessary to build this are in hand the administration and reception rooms, temporarily placed in the lecture hall, can be put here. Until a dining hall can be erected the refectory will be located in the basement of the dormitory. With such economies it is hoped that the college may by next September be transferred to its new buildings.

Dr. & Mrs. Edward Hicks Hume

The Hunan-Yale Medical School and Hospital
at Changsha

To the Editor:—May I state briefly something of the situation in medical education in China. The Medical Commission of the Rockefeller Foundation has recommended support by the foundation of four centers for medical education in China. One of these four is the Hunan-Yale Medical College and Hospital at Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province. This institution represents a joint agreement between Yale-in-China, and a society of Chinese representing the Hunan government, for the development of a first-class school of medicine, nursing schools for men and women, respectively, a modern teaching hospital, and a diagnostic and research center for central China. The hospital, medical preparatory school, and nurses' schools are now in operation. The standards are the highest possible. The aim is quality and not quantity of work.

The support of the Rockefeller Foundation and the rapid growth in Changsha make a large increase in the medical and nursing staff necessary within the next two years. Both laboratory and clinical branches require trained men. Dr. Hume, the head of the Yale-in-China medical staff, will be in the United States until August 1, and will welcome inquiry from qualified applicants, or from men now graduating in medicine or in hospital positions, who wish to investigate

these great opportunities in the orient. Address Dr. E. H. Hume, 5 White Hall, Yale University, New Haven, Conn. The scope of the Hunan-Yale institution is not limited to Yale men.

1915
Sailing from

On the S. S. Mongolia, sailing from San Francisco, August 25, will be a party of Yale men on their way to Changsha where are located the college and the medical work maintained by the alumni of that institution. In the party are Dr. E. H. Hume and family; Prof. and Mrs. D. H. Leavens; Dr. Augusta A. Sassen, a lady physician, and J. Ronald Robb of Minneapolis and Archibald B. Fisken of Seattle. The last two are sons of business men of those respective cities and are graduates of the last class of Yale. F. L. Chang, another recent graduate, sailed a few weeks ago with his bride. Mr. Chang is trained in forestry and expects to show the Chinese in Hunan province how to build rapid forest growths. Dr. Hume is the head of the medical department and has been home to select instructors in the medical school now being organized in co-operation with the Chinese government.

Prof. Leavens has already had three years' experience at Changsha, returning to America to do advanced work in mathematics. Dr. Sassen was born in Germany, coming to this country as an infant, and her efforts to secure an education and fit herself to do medical work among Chinese women and children are a well known story in collegiate circles.

The Rockefeller foundation, or more properly speaking, the China Medical Board, which is directly charged with this new work in the orient, is much interested in what Yale is doing in the interior and especially in the winning of the confidence of the Chinese as shown in co-operative effort. It has instructed Dr. Welch of Johns Hopkins and Dr. Abraham Flexner to visit Changsha this fall. Those gentlemen are now on their way across the Pacific. Mrs. Elizabeth Miles Morton, a Johns Hopkins trained nurse, sailed some weeks ago to take charge of the training school at Changsha.

indicate high spirits and keen enjoyment of their new experience. They sailed from San Francisco on the 'S. S. *Mongolia*, with the Humes, Mr. and Mrs. Leavens, and Dr. Sassen, a woman physician who joins the Ya-li staff. Mr. Leavens has already taught three years in Changsha. He was in the United States to perfect himself in mathematics, and now returns with an M. A. degree to head that department.

"Another member of the party is F. L. Chang, Yale 1913 S., and M. F. 1915. Apart from teaching, Mr. Chang hopes to interest Chinese officials and gentry in plans for a forestry reservation and park development in the city of Changsha. Mr. Lin, another Chinese forestry graduate of Yale, is already doing notable work and his monthly reports to Mr. Toomey tell of audiences numbering 4,000 and 5,000, so great is the interest in forward policies of this sort.

"Ya-li is now a school-college of 180 select youths. Their early training was done in government and missionary schools. The Chinese have learned that foreigners can give better instruction than their own teachers, certainly in modern sciences, the English languages, etc., and Ya-li has to refuse many applicants.

"The graduate year spent at Changsha may now be called an elective of Yale life for a fortunate few. It is doubtful if twelve months can be spent to better advantage. In some cases those who go out defray their own expenses; in other cases they partly defray them. Where necessary this Society pays the bills. Some forecast the day when competitive examinations will determine who shall enjoy the privileges of a year in China as supplementary to the Yale Academic or Sheff. course. The requirements are excellent

scholarship and earnest character. Already there is inquiry as to vacancies for next Fall. No knowledge of the Chinese language is essential, although permanent appointees to the Ya-li Faculty learn the language. The Chinese students themselves have a working use of English."

Yale's Work In China.

The laying of the cornerstone of a hospital
Wednesday of this week by Dr. William
H. Welch, of Johns Hopkins, at Chansha,
China, where graduates and friends of Yale
have a collegiate and medical plant, marks a
new era in the history of this institution.

It is gradually being realized by Yale alumni
that the work begun a dozen years ago by a
handful of their number of the earnest mis-
sonary type is now taking on considerable pro-
portions. The fact that some 25 men and wo-
men—teachers, physicians and nurses—have
been sent to Chansha during these years, half
of them to adopt the life as a permanent
career, shows that a large Yale contingent are
taking the matter seriously. That the China
Medical Board (one of the Rockefeller bene-
factions) approves the medical department
and ranks it with three others in China as
meriting its interest is significant. A medical
school is being organized and twenty select
Chinese youths are already engaged in their
pre-medical studies. It is indeed a cause for
pride to Yale that her sons are to engage in
the training of physicians in a land where they
are so sorely needed; in this business they
propose to work in co-operation with the Chin-
ese themselves, and that is something new in
China. The work foreigners have thus far
done in that country has been on an independ-
ent basis.

Beginning as a small group, confining itself
to higher education "Ya-li" is now one of the
focal points of culture and progress in the New
China. It will help to understand the nature
of the plant and its relation to other foreign
activities to say that there are but four or five
educational institutions in China in its class, as
regards trained faculty, standards of scholar-
ship in the student body and building equip-
ment. Ya-li is in point of numbers larger than
Yale was after its first century.

There are now 180 in the school and colle-
late department; this is fewer than Canton Col-
lege and St. John's at Shanghai (American
Episcopalian) and a few other "foreign" col-
leges report, but they have been in operation
longer than Ya-li. Stress is laid on high schol-
arly standards; before permanent appointment
each teacher must possess two degrees. The
annual report for the year 1914-1915 is this
week circulated. It reports a faculty of seven
Yale teachers on the ground, with four others
in the United States completing their prepara-
tion; while the medical staff carries five phy-
sicians and two American trained nurses, with
others to follow. These teaching and medical
staffs are supplemented by some dozen Chinese
scholars and experts. The management asserts
that when the faculty is recruited by those men
and women in preparation, no institution in
China, perhaps excluding the British Govern-
ment University in Hongkong, can show equal
scholarship.

The building up of a body of students has
required time. The instruction is given in Eng-
lish (apart from native language and litera-
ture classes) and this second language must be
learned. While in the early years the Chinese

was a rescue hand, he would lay down
six or eight definite steps that had to be
taken while under fire and he would set
about to do each one in its order. First—
the stretcher must be unstrapped, then
spread out; next, the wounded man
must be placed upon it, a pillow must
go under his head, a blanket over him;
then the stretcher is to be lifted into the
car, straped in, and lastly the run to the
hospital must be made.

V. EN.

The Yale college in Changsha, China, is too well known to Yale men in New Haven to need a further appeal for support. A contingency has arisen, however, growing out of the fact of an unprecedentedly large budget for the coming year, which must be met by a special effort.

Each year it has been customary for several men to go out to Yali from each graduating class, but this year, owing to the vastly increased expenses of operating the college, the committee will be unable to send out any one-year men. And yet, if no men from 1916 are sent out, the effect, especially in view of the present need will be disastrous. A plan has, therefore, been instituted, in the Senior class, to establish a fund for sending a member of the class as a teacher in Yali for one year. It is most essential that the members of 1916 give this project the serious consideration and support it deserves.

## 1916 Yale-in-China Fund.

Collections will begin to-morrow for the 1916 Yale-in-China Fund. The good work that this Fund may accomplish can hardly be realized in New Haven. In the past three years a number of men have gone out to Changsha at their own expense to be of service and to get a splendid year's experience. If this class supports this fund as it should, the man or men chosen may form the nucleus of a 1916 delegation of four or five men, and in this way the efficiency of every dollar contributed will be more than tripled. Just as many men will be sent as possible. But to get the best sort of a class representative it is absolutely imperative to raise the fund at once, before men have definitely made other plans for next year.

To aid in raising the money quickly a box will be in Yale Station where pledges can be dropped, or they may be handed to the class collectors.

It should be noticed that while cash is of course not refused, the pledges may be made payable at convenience at any time in 1916.

The man or men sent by the Class of 1916 will be chosen as the best fitted candidate from all those who apply to the Committee of Yale-in-China. He will go officially as the Representative of the Class on the Faculty of Yali.

YALE-IN-CHINA PLEDGES
TO BE COLLECTED FROM 1916.

Senior Class Will Be Canvassed by
Eleven Collectors—Representative to
Be Chosen by Committee.

The pledges for the Class of 1916 Yale-in-China fund are now being distributed through the class. The collectors for the Fund are: L. P. Graves Jr., M. S. Chism, W. R. Proctor, Jr., R. S. Cornish, L. G. Tighe, A. B. Darling, R. C. Booth, S. W. Davidson, Farwell Knapp, H. Lyman and J. H. Vincent,

The sooner these pledges are signed and turned in the better. If the subscription of the necessary amount is deferred long, it will be impossible to get the best men in the class to represent it in Changsha, as their plans will have been definitely fixed for next year. Contrary to the opinion of some, the place of class representative is absolutely open to any member of the class who wishes to apply to the Yale-in-China Committee. The committee is naturally the proper body to choose a man who will fit the needs of the School next year, but it is hoped that a good number of men will look into this opportunity.

Concerning the action of the class, Dr. A. P. Wilder, Secretary of the Yale-in-China Committee, writes:

"The movement in the Class of 1916 to finance a member of that class as a teacher at Yali next year fills the Executive Committee with great joy! The student body at Changsha is increasing each year—it is now all-told about 250—and who shall teach them? Apart from our five physicians and two nurses who are busy in their departments, we have Gage, '98, Hail, 1906, Harvey, 1907, and Leavens, 1909, as permanent teachers, to whom will be added, if all goes well this fall, J. W. Williams, 1908, and H. V. Smith, 1912. In addition there will be Chang, 1913 S., and R. W. Powell, now an instructor in Sheff., both of whom will probably become permanent men. Robb and Fisken, one-year men, will return this summer. Thus there will be but eight teachers, and a large part of the energies of three of them will be given to the pupils in the Medical School which opens this fall.

"You thus see that a man from 1916 who can make himself useful in teaching will be of great help to Dean Gage in the Preparatory and Collegiate departments. The man need not know the Chinese language as all our Chinese students speak English in varying degree. And what a year of education, travel, observation and service it will be for the lucky fellow whom 1916 sends! These one-year men in achieving an enriching post-graduate year, like Abou Ben Adem, lead all the rest!

YALE-IN-CHINA FUND.

More Money Needed From Academic
Seniors—1916 Sheff. Raises $1,600 for
Support of Organization in China.

The first returns for the 1916 Yale-in-
China fund which are in amount to
about $400. In the meantime 1916 S.
has raised $1,600 and is planning to
make this $2,000, thus sending two of
the six men who are needed for Yali
next year. Incidentally, 1913 has
pledged to maintain permanently the
salary for its class representative, Paul
S. Achilles, 1913, and a similar move-
ment is under way in 1914. It is hoped
that the Class of 1916 will be able to
raise the small sum of $1,000, necessary
to have the class represented in such a
worthy and international Yale institu-
tion as Yale-in-China. The special need
for one-year men next year, because of
the expected increase in numbers when
the new buildings of the school are
opened in September, has already been
pointed out.

There is no reason why 1916 can not
do so at least half as much as the Sheff
Senior class is doing. The difficulty
lies in the fact that less than half of
the class have contributed so far, and
of those who have given, too many have
pledged three dollars or less. The col-
lectors are going carefully through the
class once more, and everyone who can
possibly do so is urged to give ten,
twenty, or, especially, a larger pledge
so that the fund can be completed within
the next week. Larger contributions
are the only way in which the remain-
ing $600 can be raised.

All men who wish to try for the posi-
tion of Class Representative to Yali
should hand in their names to Mr.
Wilder before Monday noon, May 8, at
the Yale-in-China office, 5 White Hall.
