YALE UNIVERSITY.
Plane for the Central Quadrangle The
Steinert Gift.
The plans for the intermediate of the
three Yale quadrangles that bounded
by Elm, High, College, and Wall streets
have been in a general way disclosed
during the last few days. The Fayer
weather dormitory will almost duplicate
and will parallel White, with one of its
narrower ends on Elm street, nearly
opposite the western end of Durfee Hall.
Between It and White will be a court
with oblong grass-plots, but it is not in
tended that the dormitory line suggest
ed by Fayerweather Hall shall extend'
northward to Wall street, space being
left north of the new dormitory for a
kind of court. The effect of the whole
in the very irregular quadrangle will be
a kind of cruciform court, without
much symmetry or perspective, but util
izing space much better than would a
more regular plan. A regular quad
rangle, Indeed, was out of the question,
owing to the position of West Divinity
Hall, with Its long northward exten
sion. The avenue through the quad
rangle from Elm street to Wall will be
about ninety feet wide, and opposite the
archway through Durfee Hall, which
will be similar to the archway in Van
derbilt. No further plans have been made for
the midway quadrangle-or for utiliz
ing the former residence of ex-President
Dwight, though, a while ago, it was
stated that that property would prob
ably be used for a, dormitory. Several
private dwellings still remain to be
bought on Wall and College streets, and
are held at most exorbitant prices sug
gested at the recent cost of property on
Wall street for which the university In
one case had to pay $534 a front foot, or
probably double the selling price of re
alty near by, not needed In the new
building scheme. These excessive
prices, coupled with the high cost of
labor and materials, will draw heavily
on the bicentennial funds. Notwith
standing the strong graduate sentiment
In favor of reserving South Middle as a
relic in these expansive building
schemes, there can be little doubt that
it must go. When once North Middle
and Lyceum are taken away, and the
grand quadrangle is only marred by
South Middle propped up at the most
picturesque corner in front of Vander
bllt, sentiment in behalf of the old struc
ture will quickly vanish.
The gift of Mr. Steinert of New Haven
of his musical collection is a most
unique one, representing his labor of a
lifetime, the expenditure of a large sum
of money, shrewd research, and skilled
judgment. It contains about 500 pieces,
and, with Its scientific series, ' shewing
the development of stringed instru
ments, it has a high educative as well
as a historical value. It belongs dis
tinctively to the musical department.
The collection is given on condition
that a suitable building or room be pro
vided for it, requiring an area probably
of not less tharr2,000 'square feet. Be
sides the .Instruments, there ia a valu
able collection of scores1 of the old mas
ters and photographic manuscripts. Mr.
Steinert, it will be recalled, gave four
years ago the musical department four
scholarships of $100 each and one of $150.
That department is now one of the most
promising In the university in spirit
and in material growths owing largely
to the enthusiasm and self-sacrificing,
labors of Profs. Parker and Sanford.

Mrs. Stlllman, or Easton, Celebrates
Her Natal Day Born February 21,
1800.
South Norwalk, Feb. 21. Mrs. De
borah Silliman, of Easton. who was
born Feburary 21, 1800, is to-day cele
brating her one hundredth birthday.
Mrs. Silliman was Dsborah Staples,
daughter of Deacon tfohrr Staples, who
with her fou? brothers (the oldest of
which was the late Horace Staples, of
Westport, who died March 6, 1879, aged
ninety-five years, one month and six
days), was born at Greenfield, five miles
north of the Fairfield Congregational
meeting-house, and three miles north
west of the Stratford Baptist meeting
house. . -
The building In which she was born
was built by Deacon John Staples, sen
ior, and occupied by Deacon John sta
ples, junior, for eighty-five years, she
being the daughter of the latter. She
was married January 3, 1822, to Nathan
iel Silliman, by whom she had one child,
a son. Nathaniel L. Silliman, who was
born April 24, 1825. Her husband died
November 6. 1825; her son died MJvy 20,
1867, leaving a widow and one daughter,
with whom Mrs. Silliman now resides.
She has lived In Easton ever since she
was married, In the house where her
husband took her, until fifteen years
ago, when she moved to the home of her
daughter-ln-law, about a mile from the
place where she first lived.
Mrs. Silliman became a member of
the Stratfield Baptist church when she
was thirteen years of age. When the
Baptist church in Easton was built she
joined there and has been a member
ever since. She is still in good health,
and it is a pleasure for one to chat with
her.
Her memory ia good, especially when
talking of the long ago, when there were
no railroads, telephones or telegraph
lines to put the world in a wild rush.
There were few factories or shops, and
no rush of the farmer's children to the
metropolis, but each family provided for
its own members, when sage was used
for tea, and scorched grains took tho
place of coffee. Warm garments for
winter were made from wool grown on
the home flock of sheep. After the
wool was clipped it was washed and
carded into rolls, and these were spun
on the great wheels. Dishes were not
very numerous. China and crockery
were used, but every family had a. sup
ply of pewter, . basins and plates.
Wood plates and trenches were also
used.
