Vou. VII. No. 28. NEW HAVEN, CONN., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1899. Prick Tren CeEnrs. THE APPEAL MADE, The Address of the University to her Every Son—The Committee on Funds—A Beginning of $225,000.00. The following address to all the grad- uates of Yale, has been prepared by the officers of the Bi-centennial Committee: The Bi-centennial of Yale is to be celebrated in October, 1901. The cele- bration will not be complete if it does not include an announcement of large additions to the property and funds of the University. There are many special needs, which are mentioned in the President’s Report mailed to the graduates in April, 1808, and which, it is hoped, will have the favorable consideration of our alumni and other friends. In this appeal the committee desire to call particular attention to the neces- sity of a large increase of the general funds, applicable to any need of the University, and of an adequate provi- — sion for the erection of a Commemora- tive Hall which shall be completed be- fore the date of the Bi-centennial Cele- bration, and which in dignity and beauty shall be worthy as a gift from the sons of Yale to their alma mater on her two hundredth birthday. It is hoped that there may be contrib- uted for these purposes at least Two Million Dollars, of which sum so much as may be necessary shall be devoted to the erection of the Commemorative Hall, and the remainder shall be added to the endowment of the University. The need of increasing the general funds will be evident to every mind. Such an increase is essential to the growing work and life of the institu- tion. This imperative need cannot be too urgently presented. With reference to the Commemorative Hall, there is already a lively desire on the part of the alumni that such a building should be provided, and that it should be ample for the future wants of the University. Subscriptions amounting to more than two hundred and_ twenty-five thousand dollars have already been made. It is greatly to be desired that the entire sum mentioned shall. be se- cured at the earliest possible moment, but it is necessary, if the building is to be completed before October, 1oo1, that the amount required for its erection should be assured before the annual Commencement of 1899. If the build- ing is to be thus completed, the work should be begun during the present Summer. It is evident therefore that there is no time to be lost, and the Committee now sends this appeal to every graduate of the University with confidence that it will meet with an early and generous response. A list of the members of the Com- mittee is enclosed. These. members will make special efforts in their several localities, and may be applied to for further information. Subscriptions and payments may be sent to the Treasurer of the Committee William W. Farnam, New Haven. Conn. ’ Subscriptions may be paid in install- ments if desired, at any time up to Oct. 8, IQ0T. The alumni are invited to communj- cate with the Secretary of the Committee Professor Andrew W. Phillips, New Haven, Conn., or with any member of the Committee, as to any persons who may be interested to give for any other purpose than those which are the spe- cial object of this appeal.
