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.
