*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.’’

Obituary. |
DR. HENRY K. HUNTINGTON EX-’66.
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.

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

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: :

passed by the Association at the meet-
ing of May 8, 1896, your committee

team of debaters and ascertained that
the plan proposed was approved by
the debaters. 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.

After the business meeting an ad-
dress was delivered by Mr. Walter
Camp, ’80, in which he explained the
new treaty with Harvard, its provis-
ions and promise. 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. G. Schreiber, 798; E.
G.- Stalter, L. S:; W. J. Lapham, ‘97;
H. W. Carey, ’97; H. Ledyard, ’97; J.
W. Wadsworth, Jr., ’98; G. B. Taylor,

N. H. Swayne, ’92, and other graduate
voices.
