THE THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL,
The review of the year in the Theo-
logical Department, given elsewhere,
and from the pen of one familiar with
the course of events, shows many
strong points of the School and com-
mendable activity in certain ‘direc-
tions, particularly in the student life.
The graduating class has some char-
acteristics which its successors could
profitably imitate. The biographical
sketch of the members speaks not un-
favorably of its make-up.
The School has had strong names on
its Faculty in the past, which easily
suggest themselves to one familiar with
Yale history. There are men on its
teaching staff now, who add to the rep-
utation of the University at home and
abroad. Besides this, its scholarship
and its spirit are responsive to the best
influences of the thought and work of
the day. Add to this its magnificent
endowments and the strength of equip-
ment of this Department of the Uni-
versity is in clear evidence. To its
own strength must again be added the
benefits that come from connection
with such a university as Yale, with
its Library, its lecturers, and all its
advantages for special study and re-
search and general culture. ;
Surprise is sometimes expressed that
all this is not even more generally ta-
ken advantage of by Yale students
preparing for the ministry and by oth-
ers. This feeling is shared by those
who appreciate that the proportion of
graduates of the College who enter the
ministry is not nearly as large as it
was. It seems possible that there
might be a still more close association
with the Academic and other depart-
ments of the University, both in the
work and the social life of the School.
Some tendencies in this direction are
noted in the article printed elsewhere.
It may be that there will be a still
more general movement in this direc-
tion in the future.

THE GAMES,
Yale’s track team is well managed,
well trained and strong in its rank and
file. The prominent feature of Sat-
urday’s games was the excellent work
of men who were not considered ‘‘stars,”’
but who knew how ‘‘to keep everlast-
ingly at it” and do their best. . The vic-
tory isallthe more satisfactory therefor.
It would have been most pleasant to
see Yale contesting with Harvard again,
had the score been less surprisingly in
favor of the Blue, or even had it left
the Crimson flying at the head of the
staff. The contest was in accordance
with the fitness of things and we forgot
the time of separation as soon as this
first formal meeting was under way.
May there be no more times of separa-
tion ! :

Evidence accumulates that something
is needed at Yale to impress the right
view of the relations of Faculty and.
students. Some argue for a _ general
and consistent application of the honor
system; some for stricter control and
severer discipline. The double stand-
ard of honor is certainly a curse.

Memorials of Old Yale.
To the Editor of the Yale Alumni
Weekly:
Sir—The last report of President
Dwight indicates that none of the
buildings of the Old Brick Row will
long encumber the quadrangle.
bly it would not avail to contend
against this decision, and it cannot be
denied that the desire for a clear in-
terior space for viewing the effect of
the new architecture has arguments in
its favor. But if the old buildings must
go, it is fit that their memory be pre-
served by some appropriate monuments
or signs. These may be of a kind that
will not defeat the object to be gained
by the destruction of the buildings.
A year or more ago it was suggested
in the Yale Alumni, Weekly that the
site of South Middle, when that venera-
ble hall shall be removed, might be
marked by a stone curb and bench sur-
rounding the spot, the enclosed space
being depressed and either turfed or
planted with flowering shrubs. This
seemed to me a happy thought.
Whenever the Lyceum is removed,
how could that building be more appro-
priately commemorated than by mak-
ing its sight the final place of the
Woolsey statue? It was in the Pres-
ident’s lecture room, on the first floor
of the Lyceum that Dr. Woolsey de-
livered to successive Senior classes for
a long term of years the lectures on
International Law, which were the only
direct instruction received from. him,
and were the results of study that gave
him national and international fame as
a learned and judicious publicist. Ona
curb surrounding the statue, the fact
that it stood on the site of the build-
ing in which these lectures were given
might be set forth in a way that‘would
add interest to all memories and sug-
gestions started in the mind of any be-
holder by the statue itself. "63.

The End of the Concert Season.
The New Haven Symphony Orches-
tra made their last public appearance
for this season at what was announced
as an extra concert, on Tuesday even-
ing, May 11th, in the Yale Music Hall.
It was generally understood that the
object of this extra concert was for the
purpose of raising additional funds, as
the support given during the season
was not requisite for the needs of such
an organization. Throughout the year
the concerts have not been as well at-
tended as was hoped at the beginning
of the season, and the sum available
for distribution among the members of
the orchestra is somewhat less than last
year.
The orchestra, which at present lacks
within two or three of numbering sixty,
the majority of whom are engaged in
some outside business, devotes from
two to three hours a week in rehearsals,
and at the same time offers no fixed
compensation to the individual mem-
bers. It is understood, however, that the
proceeds of the concerts given by the
orchestra are to be devoted to this pur-
pose. Last year these amounted to
about $30 per individual, and it was
hoped that this year the amount would
be increased to $40 or over. A move-
ment is now on foot to raise $600 by
subscriptions among the musical en-
thusiasts of New Haven to aid them in
their endeavors to secure a reasonable
renumeration for these services, at pres-
ent about $275 of this sum has been
subscribed.
The concert itself was perhaps the
best that has been given this year. Prof.
Sanford was announced as the soloist
of the evening, but his illness made it
impossible for him to appear. His piace
-was filled by Mr. Isadore Troostwyk,
who played the ‘Prize Song’? from Die
Meistersinger. The orchestra played re-
markably well, and considering the
smallness of the audience, the enthu-
siasm displayed was most gratifying.
eS a
Military Inspection.
Col. R. P. Hughes, Inspector General,
U. S. A., was in New Haven on Mon-
day, May 17th for the purpose of exam-
ining the members of the Sheffield
Senior Military Company on the theo-
retical work done during the past year.
He will render a report of his visit to
the War Department.
Later in the year Lieutenant eae
will recommend those men who have
done satisfactory work and they will
be presented with certificates of profi-
ciency. Men holding these certificates
have the preference of enlistment in the
military service under the general gov-
ernment and under the governments of
the various states. They are awarded
only at the universities where there are
regular army Officers especially as-
signed for that duty.

Juniors vs. Expressman.
The Court of Common Pleas ad-
journed last week without taking ac-~
tion in the appealed case of H. B. Wil-
cox, 798, who was recently fined in the
Hamden Court for an alleged breach cf
the peace. It is probable that H. W.
Asher, counsel for the Yale men, will
bring suit within the next few days
against Thomas Hylands, the express-
"98S.,
man, on the grounds of malicious pros-
ecution. That Mr. Hylands § thinks
there is good grounds such a suit
would appear from the fact that he
has recently transferred all the real
estate which he holds under his own
name in New Haven County.
Ghe Bachelor of Arts,
Is praised by all Yale men, and is the
mouthpiece of the Alumni.
‘*¢The Bachelor of Arts’ pursues a commendable
policy of conservatism. It is always on the side of the
RIGHT, and is growing to be regarded as containing
the best general Alumni sentiment in regard to Col-
lege matters. College papers are usually prejudiced,
but the Bachelor of Arts is not in this sense.a College
paper. Itis out of College.”’— Hxchange.
