Mr. Treadwell:
The new Secretary is the son of Major
George H. Treadwell, and comes of an
old and distinguished family of Puritan
stock. He was born here in 1872 and re-
ceived his early education in Farming-
ton, Conn. He was prepared for college
at the Sedgwick Institute, Barrington
Mass., where he attained distinction in
athletics and scholarship. He was a
member of the school crew for four
years, being elevated to the captaincy
during the close of his course. He en-
tered the class of ’93 in the Sheffield Scien-
tific School. He was graduated as an
analytical chemist. At college Mr. Tread-
well distinguished himself in various
lines. He was a diligent student, popu-
lar socially and a good athlete, partic-
ularly in the field and scull. After grad-
-uwation he assumed charge of the George
C. Treadwell Company, as director and
secretary. He has since been engaged
as trustee of the Julia Treadiwe'l estate,
and as manager of Mrs. A. R. Tread-
well’s property and investments. In this
capactiy he has displayed commendabte
business tact and executive ability.
Mr. Treadwell takes a pleasurable in-
terest in science, literature and esthet-
ics. He always finds time to pursue the
avocations for ‘which he cultivated a
taste while at college. He is an inces-
sant reader and is scholarly in bearing
and conversation. He has a number of
hobbies, which announce themselves
quite forcibly to the observer as he
seans the walls of the Treadwell studio
in the Broadway home. He is an enthu-
siastic art student, several of his draw-
ings receiving commendable mention
from critical artists. He has illustrated
a number of books and stories and jokes
for magazines and humorous publica-—
His work shop displays his skill,
also, as a taxidermist. To these avoca-
tions may be added another, music. He
was a member of the Glee Club at Yale
and is at present a member of the Uni-
versity Glee Club of New York. He be-
longs to a number of organizations, the
Military Order of the Loyal Legion, the
Sons of the Revolution, the Colonial
Wars, and the Third Signal Corps, Na-
tional Guard. He received the expert
signalman’s badge in the corps.
Mr. ‘Treadiwell’s great grandfather was

WYOMING VALLEY ALUNNT.
Annual Meeting and Banquet Held
at Wilkes-Barre. _
The annual meeting and banquet of
the Wyoming Valley Alumni Associa-
tion was held at Wilkesbarre, Pa.,
Saturday evening, Jan. 16, F. W.
Wheaton, 78, acted as toastmaster
and introduced as the first speaker
Professor Thomas R. Lounsbury, ’59,
who made a genera! review of Yale’s
present and past. He spoke in part
as follows:
“We are now beginning to develop
universities proper—not on the Ger-
man line om the English line, but an
~ avolution of features of beth joined for
the needs of this era and this coun-
try.
“The graduate schools are becom-
ing more and more features of the
American university. Twenty years
ago there were but fifty graduate stu-
dents in all departments at Yale. To-
day there are 227, and this depar't-
ment is going to increase steadily.
This department always attracts the
very best line of students, Therein is
the national development of the future
university.
“What is the greatest want at Yale?
Her needs grow faster than her re-
sources. Stranige that college men do
not come prominently into view as
giving money to colleges. Look at
Cornell, Stanford, Chicago and the big
gifts to other colleges. In the light of
the graduate work, perhaps Yale’s
greatest needs is her library. There
can be no great suceess in graduate
werk without the best books. We
must strengthen our resources. Our
library at present consists of about
_ 250,000 volumes, and it is of wonder-
ful value in many features, but not
what is needed. .When Alsace-Lor-
raine came back to Germany’s posses-
sion they went to Germanizing the
province and so they again built up the
University of Strasburg. And they
went at it differently from Americans.
They first established a library. Now
they have over 700,000 volumes. In
these few years Strasburg University
has thiree times as great a library as
Yale has been able to collect in the
nearly 200 years of its existence.
“The business of the old librar'’an
was to preserve books and to do ‘this
he had to keep people from reading
them. ‘This is not the modern view.
“The spirit of manliness and devo-
tion to study has been increasing dur-
ing all the 30 years that I have been
connected with the college. I don’t
object to the attention paid ‘to ath-
letics. But the athletic system is like-
ly to be magnified by the public.
“Rut a proof of the intellectual life
of the college is the formation and
the healthy life of student clubs. Here
the professor read a regular bulletin
announcement of the Philosophical
club, Chemical and other clubs, sup-
ported by ‘the undergraduates and in-
dicating a high intellectual life among
the students. These and other things
are signs of a mental activity that the
students of a generation ago did not
show. But the public knows nothing
of this. They read nothing but ath-
letics, for the papers will not publish
anything else.
Mr. Wm. H. Sallmon ’94, also spoke
during the evening, his toast being
“Bor God, for Country and for Yale.”’
‘A press report recounts his speech as
follows:
“Mr. Sallm n related a talk with
President Dwight and brought the
message direct that the Yale demo-
cratic spirit was more a fact now than
ever, all assertions to the contrary
notwithstanding. The recent action
of the Promenade committee in
charges for boxes is in line with this
idea. Yale men put a premium on
good work. A man can never quicker
find his level than at Yale. The
democratic spirit was also shown in
the recent society election. The man
‘null’ is disappearing. Yale
cares’ more for a mean than for the
cut of his clothes, and for the ideas
in his head more than the money in
his pocket. The democratic spirit is
conserved at Yale by the touch of
protherhood at Battell chapel. The
rush is gone, and hazing is gone, but
