Hale at Yale
A statue ot Nathan Hale went up at the Yale campus in
New Haven, Conn , on August 8, 1936 Constructed
to honor the man hanged for spying on the British,
the statue also commemorates Hale’s graduation, with
honors, from Yale in 1773 After grad
uation, Hale went on to teach, first in East
Haddam, then in New London In the
Revolutionaiy War, he fought alongside
five ot his brothers at Lexington and
Concord When he was caught by British
General William Howe's troops, in
September 1776. Hale was disguised as a
Dutch schoolmaster His espionage
papers—and perhaps a cousin, a British sympathizer —
gave him away His teaching career was ended
I only regret that I have hut one life to lose
for my country.
