TRIBUTE TO MR. W. W. FARNAM.
In the sketch of the funds of the Uni-
r the President takes the oppor-
tunity to pay a very high tribute to the
i Mr. W.
Ww. Farnam. The passage is worth
quoting: “The ability manifested in the
financial managemnt of the Institution
has been as conspicuous during this
year as ever before and the Corpora-
tion. as well as all who are interested
in the University, have much reason to
appreciate the wisdom and efficiency of
the Treasurer in the discharge of the
duties of his office.”’
Scholarships, as one of the great
needs of Yale, and particularly the
Graduate Department, are dwelt on at
some length. The editorial treatment
of the matter in this issue of The
Weekly was suggested solely by Har-
vard’s experience and was written be-
fore the President’s report appeared.
It was, therefore, all the more interest-
ing to this paper to see the stress the
President puts upon this feature of
University equipment. He commends
strongly the action of the Yale Alumni
Association of California, which has es-
tablished a scholarship of $300 annually,
which has already been referred to in
the columns of The Weekly. President
Dwight wants more like this.
The President also argues -very
strongly in favor of honorary scholar-
ships of no pecuniary vaiue whatever,
simply ._ giving evidence of distinc-
tion and the scholar’s worth.

Treasurer of the University,
THE YALE OF TO-DAY.
President Dwight believes that the
Yale of to-day is a far better equipped
institution than the-Yale of a score of
years ago. The student, he says, “can
move in wider fields, but not only this,
in whatever field he enters he can move
forward with far greater facility and
far greater success, with far more at
his command to help him towards the
highest and best attainment, and with
a far better understanding of the
means of how he can attain the most
complete mental development that is
possible at this age.’’
In the review of the year in the Di-
vinity School, the foundation of the
Leonard Bacon Debating Club is com-
mented on as a significant incident. The
Club is pronounced very successful, and
its way of discussing all matters, both
pertaining to theology and public af-
fairs, is pronounced characteristic of.
the spirit of the School.
THE LAW SCHOOL,
The total registration of the Law De-
partment has fallen off from 224 to 213,
“The difference is found wholly,’’ says
the President, “in the class of special
students who are not candidates for
the degree of Bachelor of Laws. It
is gratifying to see that the attend-
ance of students who take the full
course has not been lessened at all by
reason of the change in the length of
the term of study from two years to
three, which went into effect at the
opening of the autumn session. A dim-
inution in numbers of a temporary
character, may, not unnaturally, be an-
ticipated when so serious a change is
introduced in any institution of learn-
ing. Possibly it may yet occur in our
school in the years which shall immedi-
ately follow the present. But the indi-
cations, as far as a judgment may now
be formed, are favorable in this regard,
and they would seem to show that the
public mind, as well as the mind of the
legal profession, is coming to a recogni-
tion of the importance of a somewhat
longer course of professional study be-
fore admission to the bar. It is believed
that the education given by the School
which has hitherto been of great value,
will, by reason of the new arrange-
ments, become yet more useful and
helpful to the students with reference
to their whole subsequent career.’’
THE MEDICAL SCHOOL.
The work of the Medical School is
appreciatively sketched, and when one
has read the few facts and figures put
together, he can reach no other con-
clusion than that a much larger dis-
pensary building, another main build-
the Graduate's Club,
ing for the School itself, together with
the endowment for several chairs, es-
pecially those of chemistry, physiology,
pathology and anatomy, are urgently
needed. Here are a few more oppor-
tunities for the friends of Yale. It is
pleasant to read that the $50,000 gener-
ously given by the late George Bliss of
the City of New York, has been de-
voted by the President, with the ap-
proval of the family of the giver, to
the needs of the Medical School. An-
other important addition to the funds
of the School is noted in the following
paragraph:
“The Department received in the ear-
ly autumn an addition to its funds of
the sum of twenty-five thousand dol-
lars in payment of a legacy bequeathed
by the late Mrs. Mary C. Hunt, widow
of the late Dr. Ebenezer K. Hunt, of
Hartford, Connecticut. The bequest
was made in memory of Dr. Hunt and
his interest in medical education in
the State. Dr. Hunt had been for many
years a physician in Hartford. He was
a graduate of this College, as Bachelor
of Arts, in the class of 18338. His death
occurred in 1889, and his widow sur-
vived him for some years. The funds
of this Department, as has been set
forth in former reports, have always
been very limited, and the increase
thus realized is consequently in a pecu-
liar measure gratifying.”
The portion of the report pertaining
to the Medical School contains an ap-
preciative sketch of the life and work
and character of the late Dr. Leonard
J. Sanford.
OTHER ENDOWMENT NEEDED.
The point on which the attention of
the friends of the Art School is directed
is the need of a course in Architecture.
The sum of $250,000 is suggested.
The highly successful Musical De- —
partment is also picked out as a por-
tion of the University very much in
need of endowment. |
Among other inadequacies noted is
that the Peabody Museum is not large
enough. |
As to the Library, the President does
not underestimate most of its. best
friends in saying that half a million
dollars more is wanted in the way of
endowment. To be sure, it now has
about $300,000, which is four times as
much as it had in 1892, but‘what of
that?
The list of gifts of the year included
$1,500 from the Junior Promenade Com-
mittee. It also includes gifts of no less
than $7,000 from Mrs. Henry Farnam,
distributed as follows: Three thousand
dollars for the purchase of the Riant
Library,
Library, $2,000 for the repair of Far-
nam Hall, $1,000 for the income of the
Medical School. These sums were quiet-
ly contributed during the year, when
money was needed and nothing was
said about it at the time.
The close of the report is given to a
review of the last ten years of the Uni-
versity’s history, of which can be writ-
ten at another time. The whole report
comes close to the tips when the Week-
ly is going to press. One passage in it
is very characteristic and worth quot-
ing:
“The thought that the demands of
such an institution can be supplied from
the resources already at command, or
from the gifts which will be received in
early future, is an idle thought for
which there is no foundation. The law
of all growing life is, that it continually
asks for more. When the asking ceases,
the life begins to decline and decay.”’

WHAT IS
INHALER ?
X-ODE isa product of electricity. It forms on
_ asbestos while being electrically treated in a
_ Solution. This asbestos is put up in a glass vial.
When the cork of the vial is removed and the air
comes in contact with the asbestos, it emits from
the inhaler a soothing gueerns substance, which
will penetrate any part of the body. When inhaled
through the nose or mouth, it penetrates every
nook and crevice of the mucuous surfaces, kills the
germ that causes the disease, and gives the tissues
a healthy condition, thus effecting a permanent
cure. Itis unlike snuff, drugs or medicine. X-Ode
penetrates parts that it would be impossible for
drugs or medicines to do.
Catarrh, Asthma, Hay Fever, Coughs, Head-
ache, Bronchitis, LaGrippe, etc., yield to its influ-
ence with marvelous rapidity.
This inhaler lasts from one to three years.
Trial size inhaler, 15 cents; large size inha-er,
$1.00, All druggists or by mail.
