Paul Block, owner and advertising representative of a considerable number of newspapers, has contributed $100,000 to Yale for the purpose of founding a course in journalism to promote “a better understanding of the press as a factor in human affairs.”

Mr. Block, who has been in the newspaper business for 17 years, has preferred to donate his gift to Yale because his son, Paul, Jr., has recently entered the university, and his second son, Billy, is preparing to do the same shortly.
