VINCENT, Yale, ’85, of the University of Chicago, recently said ° ‘““] believe that when we take an account of this century, and estimate the facts which have taken so important a part in its development, that the principle of Life Insurance and its remarkable extension in all departments of life, will be one of the great facts noted by future historians.” The Prudential has paid beneficiaries under its policies, to date over $42,700,000, which is an evidence of the vast amount of good the Company is doing for ‘those sur- rounded with its protection.

SCHOOL NEWS, WESTMINSTER. Westminster School, which has been known as one of the most successful Yale preparatories, since its founding, by 3 Wallan lo Cer, Yo oe ee Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., twelve years ago, will be removed to Simsbury, Conn., next Fall. The change will be made to secure natural country environments, larger athletic sports and a greater dis- tance from New York City. A stock company, composed largely of the alumni of the School, was formed some months ago, for the purchase of land and the construction of buildings. The site selected includes a hundred and twenty acres of woodland and valleys and a high level plateau of fifty acres, overlooking the Farmington Valley. The school buildings, planned by Messrs. Trowbridge & Livingston of New York, will be located on this plateau. Mr. Cushing, who will continue as Headmaster of the School, graduated from Yale in 1872, and after teaching classics for a year in the Hartford High School, accepted the rectorship of the Hopkins Grammar School, New Haven, a position which he held until 1885, when he went to Athens for two years’ study. Returning to America, Mr. Cushing re- ceived an appointment as instructor in classics at Yale, but resigned the follow- ing year and founded Westminster School at its present home, Dobbs Ferry.

The last case of “newspaper small- pox,” that of W. D. Brennan of St. Paul, Minn., has been diagnosed as measles. This leaves one man sick with what is supposed to be varioloid, Rufus Parks, Jt., 1901 S.; of Washington, D: C.: He was taken ill Friday last at the Colony, 17 Hillhouse Ave., and as the doctors were uncertain in their diagnosis, Mr. Parks was isolated on the top floor of the Colony. The disease is probably varioloid. G. W. Perkins, the Scientific School Freshman, the first suspected case, which proved to be varioloid, has iat and will soon return to Col- ege. On Monday morning in Chapel, Presi- dent Hadley spoke to the students, assuring them that every possible means had been taken to prevent the spread of the suspected disease, and advised them to be vaccinated at once as a precaution. He added that the College authorities felt there was no danger, and that the men had better go on with their work unconcerned and not leave the city.
