While there has been.little doing on the surface among the New York alumni during the past week, the officers of the Yale Club consider it to have been most satisfactory as regards the advancement of the Club. Several rea- sons have contributed to this, chief among which may be mentioned further evidence of the growth of a desire that the Club may have a library worthy of the name and another advance in the membership figures, which have been watched carefully and anxiously by the committee throughout the Fall. It will be remembered that on the opening night the membership was announced as 525, and the Treasurer stated his hopes that these figures would be in- creased to 700 before the New Year. These expectations have now been prac- tically realized, there being at the date of writing 680 fully paid-up members and almost fifty names on the list wait- ing to be passed upon by the Com- mittee on Admissions. This advance is naturally most gratifying to those in charge, and would seem to show that the Club is rapidly overcoming what- ever opposition may have existed to it at the start. A most encouraging fact is that new applications are being re- ceived all the time, and that the privi- leges accorded non-residents are appre- ciated is shown by the increase in out- of-town names on the rolls. PAST AND FUTURE EVENTS. As already stated there has been little or nothing doing as regards reunions, etc., during the last week. Almost the only entertainment was a meeting of ’92 men on Saturday evening, which was largely attended.

There was plenty of enthusiasm manifested, and . the entertainment was voted a complete success. The event of the present week is “Club Night,” a brief announcement of which appeared in the last number of the WEEKLY. This will occur on Fri- day evening, beginning at half past eight o’clock, and will, it is expected, bring together a large crowd such as assembled at the formal opening of the house. The project of having one of the University Faculty come down from New Haven to read a paper or deliver an address has been given up, and in its place has been substituted a plan for an informal discussion by several well- known graduates on the subject of how the Club can be rendered most useful in furthering the best interests of Yale. Aside from the. interest speeches on such a timely topic should have for all graduates, the debate, if it may be so styled, should be welcomed by the members as giving them a chance to hear such well-known public speakers as Hon. Chauncey. M. Depew, Mr. Judge Henry E.. George A. Adee. Howland, Mr. William B. Davenport, President of the Yale Alumni Associa- tion of Brooklyn, and Professor Arthur T. Hadley of Yale, all of whom have been invited to speak. Professor Had- ley’s address is expected to be parti- cularly interesting as representing the view of the University Faculty. The evening’s entertainment will be preceded by a dinner and brief meeting of the University Alumni Fund Asso- ciation at the Club House, and after the speaking above mentioned the meet- ing will be very informal with singing, | etc., as on the first of these “nights” held earlier in the Fall. : 0 o___—- “ Outing’’ for December.

Ata time when the universities are measuring swords on the platform instead of opposing “foot and eye in dubious strife” on the gridiron, it would be pleasant to be placed in harmony with the existing conditions and join in the general spirit of vigorous contention and debate. But the PRUDENTIAL, in its twenty-one years of event- ful advance along lines new and old, has not been able to offer to the public propositions that could in any way be called fit subjects for debate. Its policies have always been too plain, too straightforward, to self-explanatory, to admit. in their consideration, the keen pleasure of intelligent argument, pro and con. It is all on one side.
