YALE CLUB AFFAIRS.
Increase in Membership—Ninety-T'wo
Smoker—Program for ** Club
Night” on Friday.
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. The affair dif-

fered from the ’97 gathering of the
week before, in that it was a dinner in-
stead of a smoker, or rather, perhaps, a
combination of the two. 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. :

W eK LY
NOT FOR
DEBATE.
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.
