ASS Te AT APRS ALUMNI NOTES. Conducted by JoHN Jay. [ Graduates are invited to contribute to this column.) *30—The following extract is taken from the New London Telegraph: “Some time ago the request was made to the Connecticut Legislature to pen- sicn Dr. Henry Barnard, the great educator, who is the Nestor of Ameri- can education and the glory of Connec- ticut. The sum asked for was but $100 a month, and as Dr. Barnard is an old man, the charge would not be a very Zreat one on the treasury. It should be the duty of the Connecticut Assem- bly to grant this request unanimously. It will be a lasting shame to the Senate if it does otherwise.’’ °*70—Rev. John S.

The death of Dr. Henry Kent Hunt- ington, ex-’66, occurred suddenly at City Island, N. Y., February 28, 1897. He had not been in good health for some time previous to his death. Dr. Huntington was born in Hartford, Conn., March 27, 1845. He entered the class of ’66 at Yale, remaining about two years, when he left and afterwards graduated with the class of ’67 at Trin- ity College. He then studied medicine and was graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City, in 1871. .He was connected with the Charity Hospital, of New York, for a time, and then began the practice of his profession at New Rochelle, N. Y., which he continued there until about the time of his death. DR. F. M. TRUMBULL, 775, S. Frederick Moncrieff Turnbull, M. D., °75S., died after a long illness, January 15, 1897, at his home in Cataumet, Mass. Dr. Turnbull was born in Hartford, Conn., June 28, 1853, and entered the Sheffield Scientific School in Septem- ber, 1872. After graduation he studied medicine and practiced in the West for two years. Returning to Boston he accepted a position as physician at the McLean Asylum for the Insane and re- mained there four years. From then until 1893 he has practiced his profes- sion in Boston. Dr. Turnbull frequently went to Eu- rope with private patients and when abroad carefully studied the old mas-. ters in the different art galleries. Studying art as an amusement in the first place, he took it up seriously and from 1893 to the time of his death of his death has devoted him whole time to painting. In 1891 Dr. Turnbull was married to Miss Evelyn Hilton, of Cambridge, Mass. His wife and two daughters survive him. —_$eo@—____- N. H. Symphony Orchestra Concert. The third concert of the New Haven Symphony Orchestra was given on Thursday afternoon, March 4, at Yale Music Hall. The attendance was very large, and would seem to indicate a very flourishing condition of the finan- ces of the organization. 3 of the orchestra have grown in popu- larity to a very great degree, and it may become necessary to give them in a large auditorium in the future. The orchestra had. the assistance of Mr. Ericsson F. Bushnell, chorus of male voices, composed of the College Choir and the University Glee Club. The symphony chosen for the per- formance was Mozart’s in G minor, which was composed in 1788. It is a dignified and serious work, and, from a critical standpoint, is possibly the foremost of Mozart’s symphonies. No other work of Mozart is a better reve- lation of his genius. He paid more at- tention to the component parts of the orchestra than some symphonic writ- ers. The G minor made far less de- mand upon the resources of the so- ciety than some of the symphonies in previous programs, and was played with decision, smoothness and delicacy. The second number was the basso aria, “Spe Modo Vivitur,’’ from Prof. Parkers’s oratorio “Hora Novissima,” sung by Mr. Bushnell. This work, com- pleted in 1893, added greatly to the composer’s reputation. It is a digni- fied oratorio, abounding in luxurious melody, and its themes are handled in a manner thoroughly scholarly and ef- fective. Mr. Bushnell was recalled sev- eral times with repeated applause and finally sang the aria over again. The third number was Mendelssohn’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream” music, all of which is familiar. The ‘Wedding March” was given with great dash and a splendid rythmical effect. An excerpt from Humperdinck’s charming opera, ‘“‘Hansel and Gretel,”’ was the fourth number. The program was concluded with Grieg’s ‘“Landkennung,” sung by the College Choir and Glee Club, accompa- nied by orchestra and organ. It was inmany ways the most important num- ber of the concert. It disclosed the Choir and Glee Club for the first time in the light of serious musical under- takings. It showed what possibilities for good and even great work there were in the college men, and it served more than any other single thing to bring the orchestra of the Musical De- partment into close and sympathetic contact with the University itself. The climax at the close, with Mr. Harry B. Jepson at the organ, and orchestra and unison of voices made a stupend- ous and thrilling effect. The orchestra showed a steady improvement, both in execution, smoothness and artistic fin- ish. * -44 The. concerts, basso, and a > ee wae oa NI WHEEKLY NEW YORK ALUMNI MEET. Resolutions Regarding the Lampson Bequest—Debating Trophies. A meeting and banquet of the New York Alumni Association was held at Sherry’s Friday evening, March 5, be- ginning at 9 o’clock. The regular busi- ness meeting was held first, the report of the treasurer being read and routine business transacted. Appropriate reso- lutions were offered and passed upon the death of Prof H. A. Newton. Gov. D. H. Chamberlain, ’62, then offered resolutions upon the death of the late William Lampson, ’62, and delivered a most touching eulogy of the man, who has recently left his fortune to Yale. He spoke most feelingly of the quiet unobtrusiveness of Mr. Lampson’s char- acter and told of his steady persever- ance and persistent methods, which had enabled him to amass his wealth. The iesolutions adopted were as fol- lows: MINUTE ADOPTED. “The Yale Alumni Association of New York at its regular meeting this March 5th, 1897, places on record its profound satisfaction and joy at the munificent gift to the University, of the late Will- iam Lampson, of Le Roy, N. Y., of the class of 1862. The gift, the largest in amount from one individual, with a single exception, in the whole history of the College and the University, and absolutely unprecedented when regard is had to the amount of the donor’s whole fortune, comes at a time when it may supply wants of the most urgent nature, which could not be otherwise met. ‘While unrestricted gifts of this na- ture may be most desirable in most in- stances, yet the directions given to Mr. Lampson’s bounty leave nothing to be desired or lamented. The fund for the “Lampson Lyceum” supplemented, as it may be, by the gift of a site by the University, and by a special fund for purposes of embellishment and adorn- ment, and perhaps for adaptation to some memorial uses, hereafter to be secured through the agency of Mr. Lampson’s class, will give to Yale a noble building fulfiling the uses of both Sander’s Theatre and Memorial Hall at Harvard, and becoming the architec- tural trophy and gem of Yale’s already superb quadrangle and associated clus- ter of building. “The remainder of this great gift de- voted by its giver to Greek, Latin and English professorships, will strength- en, reinforce, and enlarge the whole literary side of Yale, restoring the -bal- ance, lately in some danger of being lost, between the two main divisions of a ‘great University—the literary and the scientific. “What true Yale heart does not re- joice, and rise in pride and gratitude when such opportunities are opened! What Yale heart, nay, who that loves scholarship and sees in it one of the chief influences for keeping well under the fell spirit of modern materialism, ism, will not hold in high and grateful honor the quiet, modest, country bank- er, who, through a lifetime has cher- ished the grand purpose he has now accomplished! “TMhis Association, sharing in these sentiments and touched by these feel- ings, deems itself warranted in re- spectfully but earnestly pressing upon the official authorities of Yale the great desirability of carrying out as speedily as possible the objects both of the Lampson bequest and the Billings be- quest for the endowment of new and additional chairs of English. This AS- sociation, while intimating no delin- quency of avoidable delay in filling the Sanford chair, expresses its feeling that no chair in the University is more capable, if well filled, of adding at once to the strength, usefulness and renown of the University. Certainly these two bequests, either united or separately, can be made the means of securing the foremost ability of the country in the service of English language and liter- ature at Yale.” DEBATERS’ TROPHIES. The sub-committee, to which was referred the matter of presenting to those who debated for Yale against Princeton and Harvard the medals provided through funds furnished by Orlando M. Harper, Esq., and Gen. W. W. Skiddy, made the following report to the President and Executive Com- mittee of the Association: : “In accordance with the resolution passed by the Association at the meet- ing of May 8, 1896, your committee communicated with members of each eriaciass PUP POS VSS TCV VTS E.W.

Messrs. Tiffany & Co. were asked to prepare a design for the medals, and the design submitted was accepted. “The medals given the debaters are alike, with the exception of the in- scriptions. On the face of each medal is a raised design, composed of the Clepsydra or ancient Greek water clock, which was used to mark the time taken in speaking and debate, a. water lily leaf, the classical symbol of oratory, forming the background, and a branch, the laurel of success, crossing the Clepsydra. In a circle about this device are the words “Yale Harvard Debate, May 1, 1896,’’- upon the medals given to the Harvard de- baters, and the words ‘‘Yale-Princeton Debate, December 6, 1895.’ upon those given to the Princeton debaters. *TWpon the back of each Harvard de- bate medal is the following inscription: ‘Presented by the Yale ‘Alumni Asso- ciation of New York to Roger Sher- man Baldwin, Walter Haven Clark and Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr., in rec- ognition of their successful efforts for Yale in the debate with Harvard May 1, 1896, and upon the back of each Princeton debate medal the words, ‘Presented by the Yale Alumni Asso- ciation of New York to Charles Upson Clark. Austin Rice and Edmund Holmes McVey, in recognition of their suc- cessful efforts for Yale in the debate with Princeton December 6, 1895.’ Above each inscription is engraved a device of three water lily leaves, and below a nen. Each medal is enclosed in a leather case. “The medals were sent to the debat- ers about March 1, 1897. ‘March 3, 1897. “Henry W. Calhoun, “Chandler P.

He was followed by Mr. George A. Adee, ’67, and Dr. J. A. Hartwell, ’89S., both of whom _ ex- pressed their willingness to see the for- mer vote of the Association trespassed “upon by such an agreement. : The company of about 150 menbers and guests then adjourned to the sup- per room, and for two or three hours, while seated at supper, were most agreeably entertained by a double quartet from the University Glee Club, composed of G.
