10 Itinerary of Musical Clubs and the Entertainment Received. The Christmas trip of the musical clubs this year was one of the most suc- cessful ever taken.

January 2, Jermain Hall, Albany, N. Y. Many social affairs arranged for the pleasure of the members of the clubs in the various cities by Yale alumni and friends as usual went far towards mak- ing the trip one of the pleasantest ever taken. This year the alumni were even more enthusiastic than ever and dis- played their loyalty to Yale by the many smokers given the clubs. The clubs were entertained as follows : Brooklyn, dinner at the Hamilton Club given by S. R. Kennedy. Philadelphia, smoker at University Club given by Yale Alumni Association. Baltimore, tea by Mrs. F. M. Colston, and privileges of Baltimore Club. Pittsburg, small dinners and smoker at University Club given by Alumni Association. Colum- bus, tea by Mrs. George W.

W. Andrews. Albany, tea by Mrs. Norton, informal supper by Mrs. Burlingame and smoker at the Fort Orange Club, The teas, dances and receptions were all pleasant and it is hard to make any distinction between them. At the smokers many alumni responded to toasts, and in several instances special entertainments were provided, such as the humorous selections rendered by Mr. Seward at Pittsburg. The audience at the Chicago concert was the largest which greeted the clubs. At Albany, where one of the best con- certs of the trip was given, the audience rose to its feet and cheered at the close of the concert. ed The merchants of Baltimore have subscribed $239,500 to Johns Hopkins University to tide the institution over the difficulties of the present, which are largely due to the issue of its in- vestments in Baltimore and Ohio rail- road stock. >> NOTES ON SHAKESPEARE.

For the Third Successive Year the Crimson Win. The third annual debate between Harvard and Princeton was held in Alexander Hall, Princeton, N. J., on the evening of Friday, December 18 and resulted in a third consecutive victory for the Crimson. About 1,500 beople were present and showed a keen appreciation of the merits shown in the arguments and rebuttals of the speakers. The question under discussion was: “Resolyed, That, assuming the adop- tion of adequate constitutional amend- ments, the United States should insti- tute a system of responsible cabinet sovernment.”’ The speakers for Prince- ton, favoring the affirmative, were: Messrs. H. H. Yocum, R. F. Sterling and R. M. McElroy; for Harvard on the negative, the following men spoke: Messrs. S. R. Wrightington, F. O. White and C. Grilk. The judges of the debate were: Senator Joseph R. Hawley, Provost C. C. Harrison of the University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Hamilton W. Mabie, editor of the Out- look. The presiding officer of the evening was Mr. T. Alcott Williams of Philadelphia. The Alumni Princetonian sums up the debate as follows: “Tt was a close debate, but Harvard had the strongest team both in clear- ness of argument and in rebuttal. Princeton’s debaters stated their point clearly and forcibly in favor of their , System, but were defeated in rebuttal. It seems to have been won by Har- vard, because they had by all odds the best side of the question, and did not have to prove nearly so much, but only needed to defend what was al- ready in existence and in a large measure satisfactory. It was the un- dertainty of the position which Princeton had to niaintain, that made their part so difficult.” Tiffany & Co.
