ANGELL ANNOUNCES GIFT FOR YALE CONSTRUCTION

Yesterday, at the same time that ground was broken for Yale's new Institute of Relations building, President James Rowland Angell announced that the general education board and donated an additional $500,000, making available a total of $2,000,000, the remainder having come from the Rockefeller Foundation. President Angell believes that this building will be ready for use before the next academic year, despite a considerable delay caused by the refusal of a cobbler, Giacomo Como, to vacate a small shack until his lease had expired. An agreement was reached by which he will house his shop in another place, rent free.

The tenth building to be added since 1917 to Yale's welfare group, it will be followed by four more: for isolation, surgical and women's pavilions, and a semi-private pavilion extension.
