YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY
PHILADELPHIA ALUMNI.
They Meet for the Twenty-Ninth
Annual Banquet.
The Yale Alumni Association of
Philadelphia held its twenty-ninth an-
nual banquet on Friday evening, Feb-
ruary 5, at the Hotel Bellevue. There
were about 120 alumni present, of
which 100 were from Philadelphia. A |
quartet from the Yale Glee Club, com-
posed of Messrs. Lapham, 97,
Schreiber, ’98, Wadsworth, ’98, and
Taylor, °97, was present and sang the
old college songs, in the chorus of
which the alumni joined heartily.
President Dwight, who had been ex-
pected to attend, was unable to be
present, and Professor Andrew W.
Phillips came in his stead, and was
the guest of honor. He spoke of
“Yale,” and gracefully turned his
toast to an acknowledgement of the
University’s debt to Philadelphia, re-
ferring to the Society of Philosophy
and Science, which took its origin and
early encouragement from the em-
inent Philadelphia body—the Ameri-
can Philosophical Society. He paid a
tribute to graduate clubs, which, he
said, had become a vital force in the
University’s development.
Henry Hobart Brown responded to
the toast, “Harvard,” and in speaking
of the athletic differences between the
two universities, said that they could
rot be at odds very long, would get
together on the question of athletics,
and would continue their natural re-
lation, one of harmony and concord.
‘Princeton’ was responded to by
Philippus W. Miller, who reviewed the
events of the last year at that Uni-
versity.
Cc. Stuart Patterson in responding to
the toast, ‘‘Pennsylvania,”’ took occa-
sion to deplore the spirit of social un-
rest that had evinced itself in the late
political contest. ;
T.. De Witt Cuyler responded to the
toast on ‘“‘The Asscciation.” His speech
was fraternal, encouraging and prac-
tical. A hint of its tone was given in
the verse printed on the menu after
his toast:
“Come, turn out and no repining,
Alma Mater bids us fete:
And the price for all this dining
‘Is but five per man per plate.”’
H. Ledyard, of the Class of ’97, spoke
on “The Undergraduates,’ and short
addresses were also made by Prof.
William D. Marks, Judge Willson, Dr.
E. W. Holmes and Thomas Darling.

How Other Colleges are Taxed.
In connection with the recent action
of the Town of New Haven in list-
ing certain portions of University
property for taxation, the Yale Daily
News has published statements
from the leading Eastern col-
leges in regard to the portions of
their property that are taxed. The
following is a summary of these re-
tlies:
At Harvard all property owned by
the University, except that which is
rot used for University purposes (such
as a number of stores in Boston) is
free from taxation. This exempts the
athletic fields, the dormitories and the
houses of professors, in case the rent
of the latter is subtracted from the
salary of the professor.
At Princeton in 1852 the town as-
sessors levied a tax on all property not.
used strictly for educational purposes.
The Supreme Court of New Jersey de-
cided that everything necessary to the
proper management of the institution
should not be taxed. By this decision
all houses of professors, athletic fields,
dormitories, libraries and _ society
houses are exempted from taxation.
At Amberst College and the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology the
same taxation laws are in force as at
Harvard.
At Brown the University property
was taxed last year for the first time,
and the University has brought suit
to recover damages.
At Williams the taxes were laid a
few years ago under protest and suit
was brought against the town, which
was decided in favor of the Colleze.
The case has been taken to the Su-
preme Court and is still pending.
At Johns Hopkins University all
property used for University purposes
is exempt from taxation, all income
yielding property is taxed.
The rules for taxation at Columbia
are the same as at-other colleges in
New York State. Dormitories and
other college buildings are free from
taxes, but the athletic fields are taxed.
