It is unique in the fact that it contains accurate pictures of all but one of the fifty-six living graduates, besides a goodly number of those who have deceased. The work of securing their likenesses has been a huge under- taking, and its success is due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Charles J.

It appeared to be true that on a certain gay day last summer eight men capsized in the Niagara river, owing to overdraught or overdraughts. They sat cheerfully on the bottom of their capsized boat until someone appeared to tow them ashore. A friend who interviewed Mr. Hinkey on the subject says that he reports that there was no danger; that he saw the whole operation; that he not only did nothing, but that there was nothing todo. He simply watched the steamer tow them ashore. The WEEKLY, knowing some of Mr. Hink- ey’s mode of action when he is under discussion, refuses to vouch for either version of the story. ’°96—H. S.

Mr. Whitney, captain of the Yale University Crew, on Wednesday de- nied to a reporter.of the WEEKLY the statement that arrangements had been made whereby Mr. Cook would take charge of the coaching this Fall. As the WEEKLY goes to press there can be found no authority for any definite statement as to the coaching this Fall and next Spring. Mr. Whitney says that even the arrangements for the Fall practice are indefinite. An order has been given an English builder for a new shell for Yale. It will be of cedar, with seats in the cen- ter, according to the American plan. It will also have the usual row-locks. No new barge has been ordered at Cambridge, reports to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Whitney has been elected a member of the Leander Rowing Club. —____ +> No Private Sweeps. A new rule, promulgated at the open- ing of the academic term, removes all private sweeps from the Campus. The rule in regard to sweeps reads as follows: ‘It is the duty of the sweep to make the beds, empty the slops, bring fresh water, and dust the rooms, daily, and to thoroughly sweep and clean them weekly. For this service he is paid by the University and is for- bidden to ask or receive fees for it from the occupants of the room. “He is not paid to do any personal service, such as blacking boots, brush- ing clothes, making fires, cleaning or filling lamps, or doing errands. If such service is required, special ar- rangements must be made with him for it. “No private sweeps are allowed in the College buildings.”’ —_———__>@___—_- A Bursar for Yale College. A bursar in the Academic Depart- ment is one of the new financial ar- rangements of the year 1897-8. The plan has long been cherished and will be put into operation October 1. The bursar, it is understood, will have the direct relations with the students in matters financial, such as the collection of tuition and rents, and will have that general superintendence of the care of the buildings and grounds which was before exercised by the Treasurer of the University. This latter regulation will be effected, as before, through the services of the College Inspector. The creation of the office thus relieves the Treasury Department of a vast amount of detail, and it is in the direction of a simpler and more systematic working of the mechanical affairs of the Acade- mic plant. The office of the bursar will be in the room on the ground floor of Phelps Hall at the southwest corner of the gateway. Full-grown Men Like — THE SUN. Ws E.W.
