*30—There is a possibility that the
decision rendered by the Connecticut
House not to pension Dr. Henry Bar-
nard may be reversed when the reso-
lution comes up in the Senate. The
press throughout the State is almost a
unit in favor of granting the pension,
and the Hartford Times had the fol-
lowing comment on the matter in a
recent issue: “A correspondent who
writes over the signature of I. F. L..
calls attention to the fact that Dr. Hen-
ry Barnard expended more than $4,000
out of his own money prior to 1850 to
carry out plans for the improvement of
the public school system in Connecti-
cut, for which he has never been re-
imbursed. When Horace Mann did a
similar thing in Massachusetts the
General Assembly, on learning the
facts, promptly appropriated money to
make good what it rightly considered
as an advance of money which the
State should have provided for its own
work. Mr. Barnard has never received
back the sum thus paid by him, nor
about $3,000 subsequently expended in
a similar way. If all this is true, and
there seems to be no dispute about the
facts, the least that justice requires is
the return of the money so advanced
by Dr. Barnard. He has made no claim
to it. He gave freely when he had the
money to give, and has never thought
of twisting his gift into a loan. But the
State of Connecticut has a duty of its
own. When it realizes that the man
who has done so much for its educa-
tional progress in other ways has also
given thousands of dollars, and now
needs money in his advanced age, it
should not hesitate to make good the
sum of which it has enjoyed the use so
long. 'Those who on principle object to
any pension cannot well object to res-
titution of this kind. There is a morai
obligation, although no vestige of a
legal claim. Whether the money should
he paid in a lump or in installments is
a mere matter of detail. The essential
thing is to acknowledge that the money
advanced so many years ago should be
returned in some form, not with inter-
est, but the bare sum contributed by an
individual to promote education in Con-
necticut.”
*59-_Daniel C. Gilman has been elect-
ed president of the new School Board of
Baltimore, Md.
*61—Charles W. Baldwin has been ap--
pointed presiding elder of the West
Baltimore District of the Methodist
Episcopal Church Conference at Bal-
timore, Md.
65—Rev. Dr. James W. Cooper has
been elected president of the Congre-
gatiornal Club of Connecticut.
'70—The Denver Republican said re-
cently, in connection with cther news
from Colorado College: ‘“‘No more im-
portant addition to the Faculty has
been made of recent years than by the
appointment at the beginning of the
second half years of Nathan B. Coy, of
Denver, to the position of assistant
professor of Classics. Very few educa-
tionists in the State can compare with
Mr. Coy in length of experience and
thoroughness of training, or in the suc-
eess which has uniformly attended his
career. Immediately after the conclu-
sion of a distinguished course at the
Williston Seminary, East Hampton,
where he headed his class, and at Yale,
he was appointed to a position in the
Fort Washington Institute, on the
Hudson. Thence he passed to the Har-
brook Institute, in Jersey City, where .
he spent two years. His next position
was in Hanover College, Indiana, where
he was head of the Preparatory De-
partment, and where, at the end of
one year’s service, he was offered the
chair of Latin in the College proper.
He preferred, however, a position which
presented itself at the same time in
Bett’s Academy, Stamford, Conn. Not
long afterwards he received the very
complimentary offer of the chair of
Latin in the famous Phillips Andover
Academy, than which institution no
secondary school in the country is more
distinguished. This position was kept
vacant for him for a year in the hope
that his health would finally permit of
his filling it, but as this expectation
was not realized, Mr. Coy was finally
obliged to resign, and to come out West.
Arriving in Denver, he was presently
appointed instructor in the East Den-
ver High School, a position which he
filled with distinction for five years. In
1291 his general abilities and services to
education in Colorado were fittingly
recognized by his election to the posi-
tion of State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, and, at the expiration of
his term of office, by a unanimous re-
nomination. His report as State Su-
perintendent is recognized as the most
comprehensive and valuable ever is-
sued by the Department, and his rec-
ord of efficiency and sagacity in the
discharge of his duties will long be re-
membered in the State. At the World’s
Fair, Mr. Coy had charge of the Colo-
rado educational exhibit, the attract-
iveness, good arrangement and sug-
gestiveness of which were in very large
measure due to his judgment. From
is¥3 to 1895 he was editor and manager
of the Colofado School Journal, and it
is to him that it owes in largest meas-
ure the position it has won as one of
the best educational periodicals in the
country. The College has great reason
to congratulate itself upon its good for-
tune in adding so able and distin-
guished an educator to its corps of in-
structors.”’
*71—_Thomas Thacher, president of the

Colonel Johnston,inpresenting the first
speaker, said: “I greet you, my fellow
alumni of Yale and gentlemen of our
sister universities, with fraternal con-
gratulation upon the happy reunion
of the Kentucky alumni of Yale; for,
although our Association has for all
practical purposes maintained its or-
ganization intact, it has been almost
a decade since we last met around the
festive board to sing our songs, revive
old associations and pledge ourselves
anew in constancy of affection to our
cherished Alma Mater and each other.
The gloom which shrouded us all when,
seven years ago, we were called upon
to mourn the death of our beloved com-
rade and President,John Mason Brown,
was too dark and the sorrow too deep
to incline us to mirth or invite us to
revelry. Even now this very scene
awakens with painful emotion the
memory of our great loss. For who,
that was present at our last festival,
does not recall his noble spirit, his en-
thusiastic love of Yale and the impress
which his intellectuality always exer-
ted in her behalf and that of her sons?
Let us cherish his emory and emulate
‘his zeal.
“Tt gives me pleasure in responding
to the toast for Yale, to say that she
is in the high noontide of a successful
career. Near the close of her second
centennial, she still has the vigor of
‘youth and is growing more rapidly
than at any other period of her exist-
