Member portrait of Louis Condit Hay

Century Memorial

In North Dakota, in England, and in this city, Louis Condit Hay was equally successful. Real estate and ranching took him to the Northwest, lumber importing to London, and the Stock Exchange to New York. His activities abroad included membership in the Devonshire Club and the National Liberal Club and a fellowship in the Royal Geographical Society. Doubtless for the instruction of his British friends he organized the London section of the United States Navy League and aided in the founding of the Pilgrim Society. None of this voyaging, however, dimmed his affectionate concern for his Alma Mater, Yale. To such undertakings as the erection of Wright Memorial Hall on the Yale campus and the building of the present Yale Club structure in this city he brought an unquenchable interest. His friends place his infectious sense of comedy at the center of spontaneous entertainment whenever Yale men assembled.
