YALE °~ ALU MENT THE ALUMNI FUND. Statement of Directors Showing Yale’s Pressing Need. (From the sixth annual report of the Board of Directors of the Alumni Uni- versity Fund Association of Yale Uni- versity.) The Alumni University Fund was opened in June, 1890. At the Alumni meeting at Commencement in that month this Association was formed, and later, directors having been ap- pointed by the President of the Uni- versity, its organization was perfected, and its first appeal was issued. The receipts to date (expenses paid by directors not included) amount to $53,- 233.40. This amount has been con- tributed by about 1,200 members, while the living alumni number over 8,000 The fund is applicable to any uses of the University. Other gifts are, as a rule, restricted to particular depart- ments or -uses. Hiveryone who has been a student in any department is asked to contribute. Any amount, large or small, will be gladly received at. any time; but the fund, especially reaches after small contributions, which it is hoped will be continued annually. No promise of continuance is asked. Reminders are sent to all members in January of each year. : The policy of the Board is to apply the yearly receipts (so far as not re- stricted by the donors) to meet the yearly expenses of the University. The | alumni themselves are regarded as the endowment, and the yearly re- ceipts as income. sh) : The board applied as income in 1892, $5,000; in 1898, $12,500; in 1894, $12,500; in 1895, $10,000. This year the amount so applied is $11,517.39, the entire amount so applied is $11,517.39, the en- tire amount available as income. The receipts since June 15, 1895 amount to $9,018.31, being greater by $2,463.61 than the receipts for the previous year. The number of contributors and the aggregate contributions to date, by classes, are as follows: ie mee en ACADEMIC DEPARTMENT. No. of Class. Contributers. A’gate Am’t. +.)

The following is a letter (accurately reprinted) received a day or two ago by the person addressed. It seems to be not altogether without contem- poraneous interest: Bozeman, Mont., Oct. Ist, 1896. Prof. W. G. Sumner, LL. D., New Ha- ven: _Sir:—Did you know what ridicule your article in the October number of the Chautauquan held you to, you would have given the matter some study before expressing yourself; you would not have allowed narrow big- otry to expose your ignorance. It is easy now to understand the rowdy ac- tions of your students when they have Such men as professors. Don’t: you know that the price on gold is just what the mint pays for it?) Don’t you know that the govern- ment buys gold, paying for it in sil- ver. certificates, treasury notes and other monies? _ Don’t you know that if the Govern- ment, under unlimited free coinage of Silver, 16 to 1, bought silver bullion at $1.29 per ounce, that the price could not go below the mint price? Don’t you know that prior to 1873 that gold and silver were at a parity? Don’t you know that scoundrel John Sherman your great. financier said in 778 that this country could not absorb more than fifty million silver dollars and today WH HAVE OVER FIVE HUNDRED MILLION and I have never seen the person who was over- burdened with it. I am astonished that such an ar- rogant jackass as your article would indicate you are, can occupy a chair in a college like Yale. For heaven’s sake study up this question or express yourself truthfully or else you will have the thinking and gentlemen who have acted and are intelligent people of this great coun- acting as Class Agents, whose names appear in the appendix. chil YALE’S* PRESSING ‘NEED. Yale never had greater need of money. The increase in the number of undergraduates in the last five years is over seventy per cent. Cost of education increases. Greater varie- ty of instruction is demanded, and higher salaries must be paid. To raise the term bills might be to ex- clude the class of students for which Yale does most and from which she receives the largest credit. Students must continue to pay only a share— and probably a smaller and smaller share from time to time—of the actual cost of their education. Obviously, therefore, increase in the number of students must be met by increase of income. 3 The fund has been of very substan- tial benefit already. But there are 7,000 alumni yet to hear from. Yale needs the support of her alumni. She deserves it. Shall she not have it? Payson Merrill, 65; George A. Adee, "67 ; Thomas Thacher, ’71; Otto T. Bannard, “76 Henry W. Calhoun, ’83; Percy R.
