and it is not least effective in the ad-
vancement of Christianity. Older grad-
uates will recall what Harlan P. Beach,
78, did for the school boys of Pekin;
younger men will think of what John
T. Swift, ’84, is doing for the students
of Japan, and we who have been. here
during the last few years will remember
with deep affection George S. Eddy,
’91-S., and William: H. - Salimon,; ~’94:
Mr. Eddy is now in India and Mr. Sall-
mon is traveling among the colleges of
Australasia. Can we honor too highly
the work which Yale men have done
and are still doing in moulding the
thought and life of students the world
over? :
So that part of Yale life which cen-
ters in Dwight Hall, is in touch with
all the world and adds its help in form-
ing the strongest tie which unites the
student body of the globe. Only yester-
day a distinguished visitor from Edin-
burgh came here to study the~ Yale
methods in view of the student interests
in Scotland. Because of Yale’s con-
tribution to this wide-spread work
which is so new and comparatively un-
known, I have written of it at some
length. It can never be confined to
the universities of a few countries, but
as learning and science spread, Chris-
tianity will go hand in hand with them.
If this is to be true, young men must
reach other young men‘and with the
power of the Young Man who attracted
young men to himself by love and un-
selfishness. With so many encourag-
ing signs of the times, can we be:satis-
fied until all students, as well as Yale
students, acknowledge one Lord and
Master?

In 1876, this same Company

Distinguished Visitors at
Princeton—Football.
[Correspondence YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY.]
Princeton, Oct. 25.—The principal
event of the past week at Princeton has
been the celebration of the Charter Day
of the University. It is designed by
the Trustees of the University to cele-
brate October 22d of each year with
appropriate exercises, attempting to
bring to Princeton every year some
man of note who will address the un-
dergraduates and the alumni who may
happen to be present. The speakers
this year were Ex-President Cleveland,
and the Earl of Aberdeen, Governor
General- ‘of ~ Canada.’ The ‘exercises
were held in Alexander Hall Friday
morning, and about 2,500 people were
present. Mr. Cleveland spoke about
the “Self Made Man,” the address be-
ing a noteworthy one. The degree of
Doctor of Laws was conferred upon
the Earl of Aberdeen, and he respond-
~ éd very -gracefully.
-The Earl. said the appreciated the
compliment bestowed upon him, espe-
cially because he thought that rather
than being intended for him individu-
ally it was also intended for the Gov-
ernor General of Canada as such. He
felt that such an exchange of inter-
national courtesies was a good thing
both for England and America.
TWO FOOTBALL GAMES.
The work of the football team dur-
ing the past week has not been as sat-
isfactory as might have been wished.
The eleven played Franklin and Mar-

a mere farce, Franklin and Marshall
showing scarcely a knowledge of the
rudimentary principles of the game.
Princeton won by the score of 54—0,
the only practice afforded the team by
it being the opportunity for considera-
ble sprinting.
The Cornell game, however, was
another matter. The game took place
at Ithaca, and Princeton found the Cor-
nellians much stronger than she had
anticipated. The score at the end of
the first half was 4—o, and the final
score 10—0. It is true Princeton had
two substitutes, Geer and Creigh, at
two very important positions on the
team, left tackle and right end respec-
tively, but even with this the small score
was somewhat disappointing. Princeton
seems to be still suffering from over-
confidence, and there are many who
think the Cornell game will be about as
good a thing as could have happened
to the team to change this feeling.
.Hillebrand and Cochran are still on
the injured list, while Kelly is far from
his old time form. Armstrong is play-
ing the best game of any man on the
team. Baird seems to have fallen off
greatly in his ability to kick goals, and
he will receive considerable attention in
this matter this week. Princeton is
stronger in defense than in offense, and
the team work necessary to reverse the
latter condition is still to be developed.
A large force of coachers are now on
the ground. Church, ’97, came last
week and is giving his attention to Holt
and Hillebrand. ‘“‘House”’ Janeway,
Aleck Moffatt, Frank Morse, Lang-
don Lea, Prof. Fine, and others will be
with the team this week. Princeton
plays Dartmouth next Saturday at
Princeton.
Princeton has all along recognized
her extreme weakness at center, no one
having appeared with evidence of any-
thing like Gailey’s ability. Booth has
been playing the position this season
almost altogether, but in the practice
Tuesday, Edwards, the scrub center,
played so much better than did Booth,
that Captain Cochran replaced Booth
with Edwards, who has heretofore been
a substitute guard, and who has never
been thought of as a center man. If,
however, he continues to put up the
game he did Tuesday there is no ques-
tionbut that he will be the University
center this season.
SOME SHEFF. HISTORY.
[Continued from 7th page: |
After the death of Mrs. Sheffield in
1889, the Trustees of the School pur-
chased the life interest of Mr. George
St. John Sheffield in the Sheffield
Homestead on Hillhouse avenue, and
this was at once turned into a biologi-
cal laboratory.
In the Fall of 1891 ground was
broken for a new building for the several
departments of engineering and of
physics. Mrs Oliver F. Winchester
unexpectedly gave $100,000 to this
building and it was named Winches-
ter: Hall. )
The new Chemical laboratory was
built by the Trustees in 1894 and 1805.
GIFTS.
Some of the gifts of Mr. Sheffield
have already been noticed. In 1871,
they had reached $250,000, of which
$130,000 was a fund for professorships.
For a number of years previous to his
death he gave $10,000 annually to the
expenses of the School and had kept
the fact secret. In the year before his
death he gave $20,000. The total of
his gifts is mentioned in the sketch of
him given elsewhere.
A large number of smaller gifts were
made in the earlier days by friends of
the School from time to time, both for
the running expenses and the perma-
nent endowment. One of $10,000 was
received from William Walter Phelps
of New York. An important addition
to the School’s equipment was the gift
of £5,000 by. Mrs. Susan K. Hig-
gin of Liverpool, to establish the Chair
of Mechanical Engineering.
In latter years, Mrs. Henry Farnam
has contributed generously to the cur-
rent income of the School, and a be-
quest was received in the latter eighties
of $2,000 from the late James E. Eng-
lish, for the endowment of the Chair
of Mathematics. :
In 1891, besides the gift of $100,000
from Mrs. Winchester, $100,000 was re-
ceived by the will of the late Daniel
B. Fayerweather and applied as endow-
ment. :
The monies received from the State
under Congressional land-grant acts and
afterwards diverted to the Storrs Agri-
cultural College are a part of recent
history. The damages finally allowed
the School for the loss of these inunds
were over $154,000.

Provides insurance for life at a low
premium, with guaranteed Cash,
Paid-up, Loan and Extended In-
surance Values. And at the same
time the policy can be changed a
few years later to a Limited Pre-
mium Life or Endowment Policy
without losing advantage of the
premiums already paid, or having
to pay a higher premium on
account of advanced years.
