The ultimate object is to provide for the establishing of a college which shall be Yale’s gift to the young men of China. Harvard has lately inaugurated a similar move ment with President Roosevelt of the class of 1880, as chairman of the Advisory Committee. India will be the field of Harvard’s work. Soon after the opening of the Russian war, the Japanese .Minis ter of War gave permission to the Association to work among the soldiers in Manchuria. Secretary C. V. Hibbard, Wisconsin 1900, and two Japanese helpers set out at once with tent, games, gospels, and other books, hair clippers, soap, medicines, correspondence materials and a gramaphone.
