The death of Edward Eugene Greg- ory, of the class of 1897, occurred at his home in New York City. on Mon- day, September 21, in the twenty- fourth year of his age. He had come down that morning from his father’s country seat at Irvington on the Hud- son to spend a few days in the City and was expected to return on Wed- nesday. As he did not appear at that time, his father grew anxious and went to New York on Thursday to look him up. On reaching his hhouse Mr. Gregory discovered. the body of his son in the bath-room. Death had been caused by inhaling gas. A doc- tor was hastily summoned, but he could only confirm the fact that life had been extinct for three days. The burial took place at Woodlawn Ceme- tery, Friday morning, September 25. The following letter on the death of Mr. Gregory has been drawn up by the committee appointed for that purpose, and sent to the bereaved family: | The sad news of the death of our classmate, EHdward Hugene Gregory, was announced to the class at a meet- ing this morning, and in their behalf we desire to express the profound sympathy which we all feel for his bereaved family and friends. (His death, occurring as it did, after three years of companionship in college, makes us the more deeply realize the loss we have sustained. His quiet, un- assuming manner, his good nature anid above all his manly character had endeared him to us all, and as an out- ward token of the esteem and love jin which his class held him it has de- cided to wear a badge of mourning for thirty days and to send this note of sympathy to his parents anid imme- diate family. For the class, - Samuel Dennison Babcock, Jr., Henry Sloane Coffin, George Parmily Day, Lucius George Fisher, Jr., Norman: Alton, Williams. IRVING P. LEETE, 797. : ; Irving Prentice Leete, of the class of °97, died at his home on Leete’s Is- land during the latter part of last Au- gust. He left college shortly after Kaster and did not return again un- til in June and then only to take home such of his belongings as he had here. His death was caused by quick consumption, which was. large- ly aggravated by a severe cold. He had been accustomed during the sum- mer months to assist Mr. J. M. Hunt, the proprietor of the “Pointe House” of Guilford, Conn., in his office du- ties, but this summer his younger brother, who it was expected ‘would enter Yale this fall, took his place there. He roomed with Mr. Philip W. Grece, °98 in 84 South Middle. Mr. Leete was of a very reserved and modest disposition, and his studious habits won him a place in the esteem of his instructors and fellow students. At a meeting of the Senior Class held last Friday morning in, Dwight Hall, presided over by H. S. Coffin, the following resolutions were passed up- on Mr. Leete’s death: Whereas, Almighty God has seen fit to remove from our class one who on account of his quiet manliness was loved and respected by all who knew him, and, . - (Whereas, We feel the loss we have all sustained in the death of our friend, Irving Prentice Leete; there- fore, be it Resolved, That we offer to his be- reaved family our sincere sympathy and, ‘be it further Resolved, That a copy of these res- olutions ‘be sent to his family amd that they be printed iin, the college papers. (Signed) Henry H. Townshend, Murray S. Howland, Edward H. Hume, W. D. Makepeace, James H. Lewis. Several changes have taken place this year in the freshman faculty. Mr. T. W. Heermance has been appointed instructor in Greek in place of Dr. J. W. D. Ingersoll ‘who will teach fresh- man Latin instead of Dr. Robinson, and Mr. J. Westlund will teach Mathe- matics in place of Mr. Keller. ~ eA ae TS a ee WV eer YY: [Continued from second page. | After Mr. Bryan fairly began his speech, he was allowed, as far as any- one in the audience was concerned, to continue at will and ad infinitum. The speech was not stopped by stu- dents or any others in the crowd, but by the very lusty brass band of the Naval Reserves which drew near at this time. Mr. Bryan himelf gave ‘this as his reason for stopping and there was certainly no other reason. The crowd was in excellent order at the time. The only spirit of unfriendli- ness shown at any time during Mr. Bryan’s address was. in an occasional concerted and long drawn out “Oh,” falling into a groan, which woulda sometimes follow a _ particularly sweeping statement of the Speaker. When under way the Democratic can- didate undid his mistake of seeming annoyed, took these little signs and sounds good naturedly, and struck back at the boys. In an interview on. the affair afterwards, he is quoted as referring to it as college boys’ fun, in which there was no malice. ‘There was a very general feeling of regret after the meeting was over, that anything had been done which would be taken as an act of discourt- esy towards the speaker or those whom he represented in politics. While everyone knew that it was an impulsive bit of horseplay and. guying, that the spirit of mischief-making had simply gotten the better of the sense of propriety, that only a very, very small faction of the students were in any way concerned, and ‘that there was absolutely no malice in it, it was recognized at once that the breach of etiquette on the part of the few would at once be laid at the door of the University and all Yale would be held responsible for the affair. It was not, however, dreamed of that such fiction concerning it could be spread abroad. The exploiting of the act was so overdone and the false- hoods circulated were so deliberate and momumental that regret for the affair is given way to ‘wonder and. contempt at the way in which it had been treated.

Immediately after the Freshman football elections last Monday even- ing a mass meeting of all men in the Academic and Scientific departments interested in the formation of a Sound Money club was held in Alumni Hall, The large room.on the ground floor was crowded when the meeting way called tto order and a plan of pre liminary organization ‘was proposed and approved by acclamation. G. P, Day, ’97, presided and stated the ob- ject of the meeting. It was then voted that a @ommilttee of seven be appointed from the two departments, present to confer with similar comp | mittees to be elected from’ ‘the jgradu- ate schools of the University The following committee was’ then an-: nounced: from the Academic depart- ment—iL. M. Bass, 97; G. C. Brooke,\ 97: BH. Hill, Jr., 97; L. Hinkey, ’9%) From the Scientific department—J. D. P. Francis, 97 S.; R. J. T. M. Laughlin, ’97 S. ; Larger Freshman Classes. | The latest figures of registration shot ' 352 members in the Academic Freshma Class and 175 in the Freshman Class of the Scientific Department. \ | Grant, “97 Siy This is a gain of 21 in the Academi \ Department, and of 28 in the Scientific School. The increase over the figures of last year in the Scientific School, where the numbers were kept downi n 1895 by an increased standard, was not unexpected, but the material gain in the Academic Department, under all the circumstances of this year, was hardly looked for.
