YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY
ANEW PROFESSOR?
Perhaps so—Points in the Graduate
School’s Prospectus.
Some points in the condition of the
Graduate School, as shown by the pros-
pectus of courses just issued, have al-
ready been indicated in the Weekly.
The book itself, as it has come from
the press, shows some other things
worth thinking about. It has made the
eurious speculate not a little to find
blank the name of the professor over —
the Courses in English History and
German and French History. Some in-
dustrious effort to discover the real
meaning of this has not been fruitful
in definite information. It seems, how-
ever, a pretty safe inference that it is
the expectation of the friends of the
Graduate School to have its teaching
staff increased in the near future by the
appointment of a new professor in
these branches. At any rate, there
seems no other explanation of this, and
this construction is the most pleasant
one. Time—and not a vtry long time,
either—will, it is hoped, affirm it and
make it more definite.
In the Graduate Department to-day,
a great deal of stimulus and incentive
to research comes from the presence
of a number of young instructors, al-
ready a part of the University’s teach-
ing staff. The zeal with which such
men must necessarily attack their par-
ticular lines of research is contagious,
and their scholarly spirit pervades the
School.
It is not unnatural that they should
be there. The opportunities are too
great to be omitted by those who are
preparing to make teaching their life-
work and new appointments have been
recently made in this Department, par-
ticularly in the branch of mathematics,
which show the most progressive spirit
and sympathetic connection with the
best scholarship of the world. It is,
perhaps, unnecessary to mention names
in this connection—indeed, they have
already been given in the Weekly. Not
only are new men and young men, fresh
from studies abroad, introduced into
the School’s life, but the best minds of
the Faculty are drawn on more, and
more. The point has already been noted
that the regular members of the Facul-
ty are giving twice as much time to the
School and teaching in the School as
they did a few years ago.
It was thought that the agitation of
the Yale Library’s needs might have,
temporarily, an unfortunate effect upon
the School’s attendance. The result did
not warrant the fears entertained at
the time. It is possible that the effect
was partially offset by the news that
the Sloane bequest had been appropri-
ated to the Library by the Corporation,
putting it on a far better basis than it
had ever been before. The fact remains,
as all well-informed Yale men know,
that this supply of funds should be
only the beginning of an endowment
two or three times as large as Yale now
has. But that is an aside. The fact
is, the men are coming here more than
ever for original research, and the
Graduate School of Yale is developing
uniformly and in the most encouraging
and highly gratifying way. The life of
the Graduate Clubs in the different de-
partments has often been spoken of as
contributing to the value of theSchool’s
work, but it is safe to say that this can
not be emphasized too much. :
And the mention of this always brings
up the desire constantly in the minds
of Yale’s friends, to see the different
departments in the University provided
for commodiously. Phelps Hall, in its
provision for the Classical Department,
is an ideal in this direction, and the
way in which this graduate work and
the work of the clubs affects the whole
life of the College is suggested by the
very construction of this particular
Hall. On the ton floor is the home of
the Classical Club, where the best work
in original research is done. Below that
are the recitation rooms of the under-
graduates. The scholarly spirit works
through from the top down into the life
of all the College.
YALE AND NEW HAVEN,
The fact is frequently spoken of, with
regret, that there is no more vital con-
nection between Yale and the City of
New Haven. Mr. Allen’s paper at the
United Church, on the “The High
School in a Free State,” a part of which
was reprinted in the Weekly, called at-
tentton to what seemed to the speaker
the estrangement of Yale and the cause
of popular education in the city in
which the University was located. In
considering the general reldtions of
Yale and New Haven, it is worth while
to look at two important achieyements
of the Graduate School along this line.
The facts of one are sufficiently famil-
iar to the readers of The Weekly. The
reference is to the course for the teach-
ers of Connecticut, which has been es-
tablished by the University, with the
co-operation of the Superintendent of
Schools of New Haven and Secretary
of the State Board of Education, and
which has proved very successful. It
has done much to bring New Haven
and Connecticut popular education and
Yale University together. In these Sat- _-
urday courses, the best men of the Yale
Faculty have been occupied.
In connection with this teachers’
work, the University has contributed
towards the expense of the series of
lectures by some of the best speakers
and' authorities in the country in the
course for teachers, given this Winter
at College Street Hall.

The Next Illustrated American.
The Illustrated American for May 8
contains among other things, three
pages of half tone pictures of the prin-
cipal teams and runners in the Inter-
collegiate Relay Races held at Phila-
delphia, April 24.Photogr phs of the
champion Harvard team, Yale, Am-
herst and the Carlisle Indians, were es-
pecially taken for this number... It al-
so includes a special article written by
C. E. Patterson, Athletic Editor, re-
viewing the growth of track and field
athletics in the colleges during the last
twenty years, and showing how from
comparative insignificance, the college-
bred man has assumed the virtual lead-
ership in that branch of sport. It con-
tains a number of statistical tables
comparing the records of the leading
colleges with each other, and is illus-
trated by pictures of certain old-time
college athletes including Parmly, Lar-
kin and Dohm of Princeton; Brooks,
Sherrill and Wright of Yale; Wendell
Soren, Goodwin, Baker and J. P. Lee of
Harvard; H. H. Lee, Faries and Page
of Pennsylvania. There is also a very
interesting article on Yale’s trophy
room in this same issue, written by H.
M. Sedgewick, 793.
