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

CENSURE FOR PROF. SUMNER.
A Reader of the Chautauquan Re-
bukes the Wale Teacher.
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.

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?
