In many ways the plan of making a complete Yale War Record has been brought to the attention of Yale men in position to furnish the facts. A good many details have been secured but a great many yet remain to be gathered before the list is complete. The names printed elsewhere are those whom we know to have been connected with the service and concerning whose record we have not yet received complete and definite details. We have not desired to make up these records from reports in the papers of the movements of regiments or from the record of cam- paigns or the reports of the Navy. We cannot be absolutely sure that the per- son in question was with his regiment or was with his ship at all times, and so we have to ask, first, from those who serve, themselves, and secondly, from their immediate friends and acquaint- ances, for authentic records of their service. We cannot make our request too urgent, that those who know of the service of any Yale man should send all facts which they have.in as exact form as they can secure them, at as early-.a date as possible, to this office. Many ‘men have information vf this character which would be very valuable and which they have omitted to send in, thinking it would reach us in some other way. We particularly request Yale men, whether they are acting as correspondents for this paper or not, not to assume that the information which they have will reach us, unless they send it. We have now the records, complete or partial, of about 240 Yale men. We believe there are many more names that have not come to us, and that is one of the reasons why we especially urge all to forward what they have in the way of information. There is no other attempt here at New Haven to gather these records of Yale men in the recent war. As a matter of record, pure and simple, it will be most valu- able, while its early publication, for the information of thousands of Yale men who are interested, is to be desired. ‘We can accomplish this through the quick coédperation of all who have the information which we need. © The record of Light Battery A, of Connecticut, known as the Yale Bat- tery, is printed elsewhere. The facts do not need any further comment than the remark that the Yale men in the Battery and their friends appreciate the interest that was taken in them, not only by such zealous Yale men as Sec- retary Porter, but by Connecticut rep- resentatives at Washington, Senator Hawley and Congressman _ Sperry. Gen. Hawley, almost immediately upon his return to his summer home at Woodmont, after a most trying session of Congress, turned back again to Washington to urge immediate action by the authorities. Congressman Sperry kept up a_ persistent and vigorous campaign in behalf of the Troops, to the very end, and, as pointed out in the article elsewhere, both met with what was apparently signal suc- cess. The attainment of the goal for which all were working, to wit, the conclusion of peace, prevented the actual realization of the Yale soldiers’ hopes. <p, di ie ie al ARE YOU ON THIS LIST? Or Any of Your Friends—If So, Please Act. The records, military or naval, as the case may be, of the following Yale men who were connected with the United States land or sea forces in the war with Spain, are yet incomplete upon our books. It is highly important to make our records absolutely complete at the earliest date possible, both for the’-sake of the record and “for its publication in an early issue of the WEEKLY. | We -have sent already, hundreds of letters, and nearly two thousand blanks, to different parts of the country, in the endeavor to gather these completely. A special appeal is now made to each man on this list, and a general appeal to all who are familiar with any part of the war record of any one of them. to forward alll facts to us at the earliest The facts which the WEEKLY is after are indicated by the possible moment. following circular which has been sent out: Name.
