YALE ALUMNI WHEEKLY MARYLAND ALUMNI BANQUET. Second Annual Meeting — Professor Schwab’s Response. —— The second annual banquet of the Yale Alumni Association of Maryland was held in the Hotel Stafford, Balti- more, Md., Tuesday evening, February 16. The walls of the room were hung with Yale flags and the tables were decorated with carnations and banners, bearing the name, “‘Yale.’’ The dinner ecards were in the shape of a “Y,” tied with blue ribbon bearing the following verse: **A little knot of blue, A love-knot, strong and true.”’ Daniel C. Gilman. ’52, President of Johns Hopkins University, was toast master, and Philip S. Evans, ’95, was chorister. The toasts were as follows: “Maryland,” Gov. Lloyd Lowndes; “Yale?” Prof. J. C.- Schwab, ’86; = "Our ~ Guests,” Prof. John Trowbridge; ‘Har- vard Club of Maryland,’’ Carroll Bond; “Princeton,” Prof. Woodrow Wilson; “Johns Hopkins,’’ Ralph MRobinson; “Canada and the United States,’’ Dr. William Osler; ‘““Medical Education in Maryland,” Prof. William H. Welch, "70: “Yale in Literature,’’ Bernard C. Steiner, ’88. Prof. Schwab spoke in part as follows: “A representative of the University might hesitate to speak at a Baltimore gathering, in the midst of the enemy’s country, the home of so many Prince- ton and Johns Hopkins graduates. But even if the fact that he may thereby exchange the frugal diet of the Con- necticut Ricardian acre for the fa- mous dish of terrapin does not over- come his hesitation, he may console himself with the thought that, as the recent political campaign has taught. us that there is no “‘enemy’s country,” so in the educational campaign Yale acknowledges no enemies. She looks with motherly eyes upon Princeton, the child of her youth, and with equal af- fection upon Johns Hopkins, the child of her old age, and watches with pride the growth and prosperity of those two great educational institutions, the one pre-eminent as the trainer of our political leaders, the other famous as the trainer of our educational leaders. YALE’S RESPONSIBILITY. “Yale shares with them the great re- sponsibility of training the future lead- ers of men in our country. She is meet- ing that task more hopefully and more successfully from year to year, as her resources grow, her methods of instruc- tion irmprove, and her teaching force increases. The Law School and the Uni- versity Library, especially, are feeling the stimulus of an enlarged plant and endowment, and are contributing more than ever to the intellectual life of the University. The latter has been much aroused of late by the coming debate with Harvard. The active and schol- arly preparation for this and similar debates is, we hope, training our future Congressmen. It might also be said that the training in diplomacy offered by the recent athletic negotiations with our Cambridge rival may result in sup-- plying some day the framers of anoth- er arbitration treaty. “JT judge the resumption of athletic relations with our Crimson friends is welcomed by all. To me it means the chance of seeing once more not neces- sarily a victory for the Blue—for I con- fess to being enough of a Philistine to enjoy a three-bagger or a 30-yard run, irrespective of the color of the runner’s stockings—but of seeing the inspiring sight of a great body of college gradu- ates a unit in their admiration of the results of six months’ training in the boat. a unit in applauding the masterly handling of a ball nine, or the brilliant team-play of an eleven. ‘‘THE BROADEST AND BEST ATHLETICS.” “Our alumni idolize Yale’s physical manhood. We need the same interest in and admiration for Yale’s intellectual manhood. We need the co-operation of our graduates in discovering and ob- taining the latest appliances for train- ing that intellectual manhood. We want our intellectual gymnasium to be filled with the best devised mind-expanders, just as the interest and generosity of our graduates has filled our physical gymnasium with the latest chest-ex- panders. Surely the Yale methods of training men for the intellectual race of life, the broadest and best athletics, erg = the first and foremost atten- ion. OFFICERS ELECTED.

Gordon, of Boston. He delivered two lectures on the “Significance of the Ideals.’’ He also delivered a lecture in the Leonard Bacon Club course on “Philips Brooks.”’’ Dr. Gordon is perhaps the ahblest representative of the modern theology in this country. His coming to Yale is always an event in the school year. The Leonard Bacon Club Lecture Course has been one of the successes of the year. Rev. Drs. Edward Ever- ett Hale, T. T. Munger, W. S. Rains- ford and G. A. Gordon have lectured thus far. The next lecture will be by Dr. Alexander McKenzie of Cambridge on Monday evening, March 1. Recent addresses before the School have been given by S. Knapp, ir., ’97 T. S., on “Religion in Modern Litera- ture;” by C. S. Macfarland, ’97 T. =, on ‘Reality, Genuineness, Honesty;”’ and by: € Gs Merrill, 97.5. S. on, 74, Plea for the Right Kind of Revivals.” The Senior class in Sociology will vis- it New York with Professor Blackman, February 25 and 26, to study methods of social charity work there. While there they will be the guests of the city. -The most interesting debate of the year was held under the auspices of the Leonard Bacon Club, February 17, on the question, ‘Resolved, That the Recent Action of the Manhattan Asso- Ministers, with Relation to Dr. Lyman Abbott, was Timely and Wise.” The leading speakers were: Messrs. Deane, °98 T. S., and Heberlein, ’98 T. S., on the af- firmative, and Messrs. Reed, ’99 T. S.; and Lyman, 99 T. S., on the negative. The following men will compete in the Leonard Bacon Club preliminaries for the Harvard-Yale debate: : Macfarland, ’97 T. S.; A. M. Hall, "97 T. S.: W. C. Ferris, ’98 T. S.; R. A. Mc- Clave, 799 T. S.; H. A. Jump, 99 T. S and J. §. Hawkins, 99 T. S. The judges in the debate will be Professor L. ©; Brastow, Dr. B. W. Bacon and Mr. H. Be Ralh: 79%. 8. The Senior class has elected as Pres- ident S. Knapp, jr., °97 T. S., and has appointed the various committees rela- tive to class supper and Commence- ment. There is a unanimous desire on the part of the class to make a change as to the Commencement program. a> a Voted to Wear Hoods, The members of the Senior Class of the Law School who have received de- grees voted at a meeting held Saturday, Feb. 20, to wear hoods authorized by the Corporation to be worn by men having degrees at Commencement This is the first time the hoods have been adopted by the Graduate Departments and there was considerable opposition expressed to the innovation. A Jarge majority, however, voted to wear the hood. The hoods are _ black striped with the colors of the college from which the degree was received and by a color also designating the depart- ment. Doctors’ Masters’ and Bache- lors’ degrees are designated by the length of the hood. ~~ The Crescent A.
