HELP TO COMPLETE THE RECORD.
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.

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.
