MARETT WILL CASE.
Decision of Superior Court—The Case
to be Appealed.
o_o
A decision in the Marett will case
was rendered last week by Judge
George W. Wheeler, of the Superior
Court of the State of Connecticut,
which favors the payment to Yale
University. of a sum amounting to
about $14,000. This case was brought
by the State of Connecticut against
the trustees of the will about a year
ago and now has been decided in fa-
vor of the defendant.
Judge Wheeler based his decision on
the following facts: The will of Philip
Marett gave a portion of his estate to
two trustees who should dispose of
the trust funds bequeathed to them
among seven corporations and should
appropriate ‘‘one tenth part to the
State of Connecticut in trust, the in-
come to be applied toward the main-
tenance of any institution for the care
and relief of idiots, imbeciles and fee-
ble-minded persons.” He further di-
rects them: ‘“Should any of the trusts
not be aezepted the amount intended
therefore shall be proportionately
distributed in augmentation of such as
may be accepted.”
In October, 1889, Mr. Henry T.
Blake, acting for the trustees notified
the Treasurer of the State, Mr. Henry,
of the intended distribution. Mr.
Henry declined to accept the fund and
in November, 1890, reported the mat-
ter to the Governor. It happens that
from January, 1891, to January, 1895,
the General Assembly transacted no
public business and in 1898, when the
officia, f the State were changed
the successors knew nothing of the
fund. Nevertheless Mr. Blake caused
a bill to be introduced into the As-
sembly stating the facts concerning
the fund and directing the State
Treasurer to accept the trust. The
bill was rejected.
Judge Wheeler concludes that in not
accepting the trust within a reason-
able length of time the State has by
its actions virtually rejected it and
has therefore lost all claims to the
fund. His ruling is that the sum of
$90,000 should be divided proportion-
ately between the corporations named
in the will in the manner therein pro-
vided.
The State on the other hand con-
tends that the fund could only be re-
fused by an affirmative and positive
act of the General Assembly and that
it still has a legitimate claim upon
the trust fund. The counsel for the
State have declared their intention of
carrying the suit to the Supreme
Court and an appeal has been filed for
its discussion at the next session. —

mostly Americans, with an introduc-
tion by Lyman Abbct. The papers
were originally contributed to ‘The

esis’; Dr. James M. Whiton, ’53, “Ruth
and Esther,” and “The Book of Jo-
nah’; Professor George B. Stevens,

Yale, Marvard and Princeton
Alumni Meet.
On Friday, November 20th, the Yale,
Harvard and Princeton Chicago Alum-
ni Associations met informally at the
University Club. The affair was well-
named a “Howler,” as the big crowd
present kept up an almost continuous
succession of cheers and songs for the
three Universities during the whole
evening. There were no set speeches,
but several informal addresses were
delivered amid much applause. The
best of good feelings prevailed, and
this meeting will doubtless serve aS a
precedent for future gatherings,
YALE ALUOMNe
Saturday’s Unpleasantness
Reviewed.
(Charles Hopkins Clark in Hartford Courant.)
Saturday was just the sort of dismal
day for defeat. Nature, as if con-
scious of the coming trouble, wept the
earth wet; then Princeton came along
and wiped the wet earth with the Yale
team. The worst of this incredible
statement is that it is true. There is
a problem in psychology and physics
which asks what would happen if an
irresistible force should meet an im-
movable body. This poser for philoso-
phers was once solved by a simple
child, who said he guessed it would
‘slide over.”
That’s what happened Saturday.
When the irresistible Princetons met
the immovable Yales; they ‘“‘slid over’’
them, they slid under them, then they
went around them; and, then they
went through them, and, but for the
creed and lessons of a generation, it
would have been hard to believe the
Yales were really immovable. Fortu-
nately, that had been already demon-
strated. The past is still secure.
There seem but two ways of account-
ing for the reverse of Saturday. One is
that President Dwight is in Europe.
The University has never yet won in
any athletic contest when he was out
of the country. It will be remembered,
too, that the corporation couldn’t meet
while he was away; neither could Mr.
Bryan, under those conditions, speak
upon the Green. The next time the
boys give Dr. Dwight leave of absence,
they will do well to reflect first on
the possible consequences.

But it’s over now. Yale has been
beaten not by any disputed decision of
the umpire or sudden fluke of luck,
but by a team far her superior that de-
served the victory. Yale knows how
to win; she also knows how to accept
defeat. We learn that Services were
held in the chapel yesterday as usual,
and that recitation rooms will be open
for business today at the old stand.

In the matter of kicking the figures
are more even. Princeton punted elev-
en times to Yale’s ten. The total dis-
tances of the kicks were: Yale 330
yards, Princeton 420 yards.
Yale was given the ball twice for
holding and Princeton once. Prince-
ton was offside three times and lost
15 yards by this, while Yale lost but
five. Yale blocked two of Baird’s
punts and twice tackled Baird before
he could kick, while Hinkey was able
to get off his kick every time he was
called upon.
