JAN. 17, 1930, BANKER GIVES YALE $50,000; QUITS HIS JOB Retires to Devote Time to Handing Out Small Fortune. BY HARRY FERGUSON rnittd Press Staff Correspondent i'EEKSKILL, N. Y., Jan. 17.—A ;an who began giving away money •.en before he was old enough to oake any sat in his office here to day and tola why he was abandon ing his Dusiness to devote all his time to the science of philanthropy. He is Chester DcWitt Pugsley, 42, a banker, who has become so accus tomed to handing out thousands, that lie leaned back in his swivel chair and said as casually as though he were at>out to tell you he was gt ing to buy a cigar: “I celieve I shall announce today hat l have just given $50,030 to Yale university.” Pugsley differs from most philan thropists in two respects—He is vounger than any of them and he probably has less money than most, for he is not a rich man as wealth Is measured in these days of multi millionaires “My income," he said, ‘‘has been • educed to $20,000 a year by my gifts. I plan to give away two-thirds of the S3O 000 this year. This gift to Yale it to endow a series of confer ences on international relations.” His sole purpose is to develop brains, not real estate. He tosses in his money, wagering that in some way it will help develop a human mind that can teach nations how to be good neighbors. Young Mother Dead r, " Time* Sneriol UNION CITY, Ind.. Jan. 17.

Efforts of the student council of Butler university to obtain permis sion to hold dances on the uni versity campus were deadlocked to day while a committee of the board of directors surveyed the council's request. A petition, signed by 688 stu dents, was presented to the direc torate Thursday requesting the right to hold dances on the campus. The directors refused to act on the petition. They appointed Hil ton U. Brown and Emsley Johnson, Indianapolis, and John Canady, Anderson, a committee to examine the proposal and to report at the April board meeting. Petition Is Signed Several directors are said to op pose dances in a university affiliated with the Christian church. The petition signed by a vast ma jority of the school students re quested the privilege on the follow ing grounds: ‘‘That closer contact with college life is brought about by the dances. ‘‘That, the financial problem of renting public halls for dances would be relieved and money spent for hiring halls could be used to a better advantage in behalf of the university. Better Conduct “That dances could be conducted with more decorum than in public places, as the general public could oe refused admittance. Boisterous ness at Butler dances has been due to persons not attending the uni versity w'ho have gained admission because the dances are held in pub lic halls. If such conduct occurred on the campus, officials would be in a position to punish offenders.” The petition also cited the impor tT f darc-tv- ro-'vs in the so cial life of a university.
