YALE ALUMNI WHEEKLY ALUMNI NOTES. Conducted by JOHN Jay. [ Graduates are invited to contribute to this column.) *30.—The Connecticut Legislature has defeated the bill to pension Dr. Henry Barnard, of Hartford. The “Hartford Courant’ comments editorially on this subject, as follows: ‘‘We think the op- ponents of the pension weakened rath- er than strengthened their case when — they argued that the proposed grant from the treasury would be a dangerous precedent. Connecticut: has produced but one Dr. Barnard since 1636. He is as unique in his way as was Thomas Hooker, the founder of ‘Brother Jona- than,’ or ‘Old Put.’ In the nature of things his individuality and work can- not be duplicated. But the decision on the pension question has gone against him, and it is as idle now to discuss it as to discuss the failure to utilize for practical purposes the enthusiasm kindled at the recent anniv creaky cele- bration.”’ *54—Hon.
