Cambridge Solon Says Italian Founded Yale

Alfred E. Vellucci, Cambridge's favorite City Councillor, yesterday unveiled documents that prove irrefutabaly Yale was founded by an Italian, Elio Yali.

Speaking to an assemblage of editors and distinguished guests at the offices of the Yale Daily News, Vellucci gave a dramatic rendition of a registered special delivery missive from Terracina, Italy. The official epistle stated that Yali, son of Angelo and Mafalda Yali of Terrachina, was born in East Boston. Yali made valuable gifts of books and money to what was then the Collegiate School in Saybrook, Conn. When the school was moved to Nuovo Rifugio, (New Haven) it was named for Yali.

Vellucci was quite miffed over a recent allegations by members of the Yale faculty that Columbus did not discover America.
