YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY
EASTERN WN. Y. MEETING
Mr. Woodruff Speaks on Advantages
of College Education.
The annual dinner of the Yale Alum-
ni Association of Eastern New York
was held at the Fort Orange Club, in
Albany, Wednesday evening, February
24. The dinner was one of the most
successful in the history of the Asso-
ciation, and there was evidence of a
great deal of Yale enthusiasm. The
large table was decorated with potted
plants, ferns and cut flowers. ;
The toastmaster, the Hon. William L.
Learned, *41, presided with great dig-
nity, and presented the following toasts
and speakers:
“Past and Present,” Judge William
L. Learned, ’41.
“Yale Memories,’ Dr. Swain, ’64.
“Yale in Politics,’ Senator Frank D.
Pavey, 784.
“Yale Men in Affairs,’ J. B. Town-
send (Utica), ’71.
“American Men,’ J. W. Eaton, ’79,
“Advantages of a College Education
to Business Men,’’ Hon. Timothy
Woodruff, ’79.
“Old Yale,” James B. Olney, ’54.
“Yale Spirit,’’ J. Proctor Clark, ’78.
“Memories of President Woolsey,’’
Dr. Cobb, 758.
In the course of his speech, the Hon.
Timothy L. Woodruff, ’79, Lieutenant-
Governor of New York, said: “Both
political parties acknowledge that
American politics are at a comparative-
ly low standard. Competition has been
so spirited and the desire for power so
strong that the weaker natures of the
masses have been apepaled to, and to
their detriment the appeals have been”
unsuccessful. We all now how through
the last campaign the cry of the sil-
verites rang out in the words, ‘educate
the masses,’ and how, just in the pro-
portion as the masses were ‘educated’
to appreciate what this party strove
to depreciate, just so did the strength
and common sense of the American
people brush aside the delusions which
had been foisted upon them. TI sin-
cerely believe that the future safety
of our country lies in the thorough edu-
cation of her people, and that not only
the schools, which teach the elementary
subjects absolutely necessary to man,
but also the colleges and places of
higher education, whose work is to
broaden his ideas and to give him new
lines of thought to consider are the
means to attain that end.
“Surely the university graduate, with
all the benefits derived from the best
sources of knowledge, with the theories
of the greatest economists, and the
practical application of those theories
which history has developed to aid him,
ought to be able to enter the arena of
politics, not only better armed to carry
on the battle for his party, but also
more thoroughly equipped to defend
and promote the institutions of his.
country.”
Officers for the ensuing year were
elected as follows: President, Hon.
William L. Learned, *41; Vice-Presi-
dent, Francis N. Mann, ’70; Secretary
and. Treasurer, Colonel George C.

On Wednesday of last week the Sen-
ior address before the School was by
C. P. Pierce, on “The Temptations and
Dangers of a Minister’s Life.’’ .
The Senior class had a very inter-
esting trip of two days to New York
City. They were received by Mayor
Strong, and under official guidance vis-
ited the social settlements and studied
the relief methods in the city. Pro-
fessors Blackman, Stevens and Brastow

News of the Crews,
It was fully expected last week that
Mr. R. J. Cook would come up to New
Haven and spend some time with the
crew candidates, but he was unavoid-
ably detained in New York. The crew
men feel somewhat disappointed not
to have had as much of. Mr. Cook’s
coaching as was expected earlier in the
season, but there is every reason to
suppose that he will give most efficient
services later on. At the present time
of the year it has always been difficult
to obtain as many coaches as were de-
sired, so that this year is no exception
to the general conditions.
On Saturday, February 27, the Uni-
versity crew ran onto a rock, while
rowing up the Quinipiac River at
comparatively low water, and damaged
the new barge, which had only been
used a few times. The boat hung for
a few moments on the rock, while the
men were taken off in boats, but was
immediately towed back to the boat
house by the second crew and was
again ready for use inside of an hour.
The damage was only temporary, and
the barge is now considered as good
as new.
The crew has been rowing in about
the same order as last week, the last
four positions of the boat being occu-
pied by the same men each day, while
the others are continually changed.
The training table was commenced
yesterday, with the following men:
Simpson, °97; Langford, ’97 S.; Whit-
ney, ‘93; Bailey, 97 (Captain); Marsh,
"98; Campbell, ’97; Parkhurst, ’99; Mills,
"97 S.; D. F. Rogers, ’98, and Patterson,
"97. In addition to these men the meni-
bers of the second crew will be taken
to the training table every night for
dinner.
The training of the Freshman Crew
has been carried on mostly in the tank,
until recently, when some of the men
have showed sufficient proficiency to
be coached in the pair-oar and have
then been taken to the harbor. About
eight men are now being thus coached
under the personal instruction of Mr.
H. B. Wilcox, 798.
