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.

Divinity School Notes.
Among recent events of especial in-
terest in the Theological Department
was the visit of Dr. George A. 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.

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.
