five years, actively associated with

REV. DR. AUGUSTUS F. BEARD, 757,
Newly elected member of Yale Corporation.

A discriminating Yale graduate, who
knows Dr. Beard well, writes of him
thus: “Dr. Beard is a man of broad
culture, large and varied experience and
of:a national reputation. He wields a
facile pen and is much*sought as a
preacher and lecturer. His appoint-
ment on the Yale Corporation is a
peculiarly fortunate one.”
