THE NINETY-SIX IVY.
Slips from Two Graves to be Planted.
A Word from Mr. Twichell.
During the month of August the ivy
planted last Coinmencement by the
class of 96 was stolen by parties un-
known. It was planted by the Ivy
Ccmmittee, consisting of C. W. Wells,
F. Cc. Lee and W. S. Woodhull. The
ivy was procured from the grave of
General Lee and it is thought by some
that this aroused partisan feeling.
The ivy committee has definitely de-
cided to replace the stolen ivy next
spring. Two slips will be planted, one
from the grave of General Robert E.
Lee and the other from the grave of
Theodore Winthrop, ’67, who was one
of the first. Yale officers to be killed in
the war.
In regard to the uprocting of the
ivy last summer Rev. Mr. J. H. Twich-
ell has written the following letter for
publication in the Hartford Times:—
To the Editor of the Times:
Will you give me leave to say that
the uprooting of the Lee ivy planted
at the last Yale commencement—
though the stealthy act of some irre-
sponsible individual—I, for one, deep-
ly regret. Justly objectionable as it
appeared to me to pay public honor at
Yale University to the name and mem-
ory of a Confederate chief, it was—
this being a free country—plainly
within the right of the Academic class
of 1896 to do it if they chose. Since
they did choose it, I am mortified that
their design has in such.a manner
been interfered with. Their ivy should
have been permitted to grow where
they placed it, undisturbed. Much as
I was personally offended by it, and
earnestly as—speaking for those whose
feelings I shared—I protested against
it, I would willingly have done any-
thing in my power to keep it from be-
ing molested.
Yours truly,
JOSEPH H. TWICHELL.
August 20, 1896.

ROBERT O. ROGERS, EX.—’89.
Mr. Robert Ogden Rogers, ex-’89,
died at Lake Placid, in the Adiron-
dack Mountains, on June 21. The body
was taken to Scarborough, Mr. Rog-
er’s home, and there ten days later,
occurred the death of Mrs. Rogers.
The cause of death in each case was
pulmonary tuberculosis. It was in the
spring of 1895 that Mr. and Mrs. Rog-
ers went to the Adirondacks, seeking
relief from this trouble. Mrs. Rogers
had been a confirmed invalid for sev-
eral years, and about that time Mr.
Rogers discovered that he also was
suffering from the same trouble. They
remained at Lake Placid in the sum-
mer and at Saranac Lake in the win-
ter. Mrs. Rogers had been very ill for
many months before her death, and
during this time Mr. Rogers, though
failing much in his own health, had
devoted himself almost constantly to
her care.
FUGENE N. SOLOMON, °F,
Eugene Nathan Solomon, ’95, son of
Nathan Solomon, a lawyer of New
York City, died from a severe attack
of appendicitis on Tuesday, the twen-
ty-second of last month. His desease
was of a very serious nature from the
start and he was immediately taken
to Mt. Sinai. Hospital where he re-
mained until his death. His illness
was of very short duration, lasting
only a few days. This was to be his
second vear at the New York Law
School where he was studying in cr-
der to practice law in that city. His
life in College was simple and above
all straightforward. To his acquaint-
ances his uniform good temper made
him a pleasant and welcome compan-
ion but to his intimates his tolerance
of the personal opinions of others io-
gether with an uncompromising con-
demnation of everything low and mean .
made him an example of the best char- °
acter which the training of Yale can
vive. He was twenty-two years old,
being born on-Mareh 4, 1874. ee |
°95 CLASS MEETING.
At a meeting of a number of Nine-
ty-five mien -who were in New Haven
on Wednesday, September 23, the fol-
lowing resolutions on the death of
Eugene N. Solomon were adopted:
Whereas, It has been the will of
God ‘to remove from our number one
whose manly bearing and lovable
character made him respected and be-
loved by all who knew him, and,
fWhereas, We feel a deep personal
loss in the death of our friend, Eu-
gene Nathan Solomon; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we ‘tender our sin-
cere sympathy to his family in their
grief; and, be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these res-
olutions be sent to his family and that
they be printed in the college paper.

Name for the Freshmen.
Many suggestions have been made
as to a proper class numeral for the
entering class. An abbreviation, such
as has usually been made by omitting
the first two figures, is in this case
awkward to make. The following
methods of avoiding the difficulty
have been proposed:—‘‘Nineteen Hun-
dred,” “Know Nothing,’ “Tiwo Cir-
cles,” “Bnd of the Century,” “Double
Goose Egg,” and “Naughty Naught.”
So far no abbreviation has ‘been: ac-
cepted for general use, the freshmen
being indicated by the full title of
1900.

WHAT IS
——s
X-ODE isa product of electricity. It forms o
asbestos while being electrically treated in 2
solution. This asbestos is put up in a glass vial.
When the cork of the vial is removed and the air
comes in contact with the asbestos, it emits from
the inhaler a soothing gaseous substance, whici
will penetrate any part of the body. When inhaled
through the nose or mouth, it penetrates evety
nook and crevice of the mucuous surfaces, kills the
germ that causes the disease, and gives the tissues
a healthy condition, thus effecting a permanent
cure. Itisunlike snuff, drugs or medicine. X-Ode
penetrates parts that it would be impossible for
drugs or medicines to do.
Catarrh, Asthma, Hay Fever, Coughs, Head-
ache, Bronchitis, LaGrippe, etc., yield to its influ-
ence with marvelous rapidity.
This inhaler lasts from one to three years.
Trial size inhaler, 15 cents; large size inhaler,
$x.00. All druggists or by mail.
