Not At All Worried.
(N. G. Osborn in New Haven Register ]
It is a demonstrated fact, however
doubtful it may appear to incredulous
people, that Yale University is being
very much better governed and its in-
fluence in the world is being more ex-
tended under the administration of its |
regularly chosen administrators than
could possibly be the fact under the
management of its critics. This is
apropos of the journalistic attempts of
a New York paper to impose its views
upon Yale by a combined process of
insolent intimidation and _ deliberate
misrepresentation. In some latitudes,
where the longitude is not unfavorable,
this sort of criticism and this sort of
premeditated domination is spoken of
aS approximate blackmail, but here in
New Haven we call it impertinence,
and let it go for that. We may have
our local opinions as to the final sur-
render of the Princeton authorities to
this journal and the misguided men it
has influenced, but it is not necessary to
give it expression. If Princeton sees
fit to yield to a manufactured clamor
and sacrifice what to many may seem
its own superior rights, it is Princeton’s
affair, not Yale’s. But when it comes
to the trial of the same tactics here, it
is a horse of a different color. It is,
therefore, with peculiar satisfaction that
we record President Dwight’s reply to
an inquiry made of him in reference to
the attack of the New York temperance
journal: “Yes,” he replied, “I have
seen the article in that paper, but I have
nothing to say about it one way or the
other. Oh, no; the Faculty will not
take any action at all in the matter.
We are not at all stirred up about it.”
This is admirable, not that we for a
moment even suspected that the author-
ities at Yale would pay the slightest
attention to the preposterous charges
brought and the demands made, but.
because there is a quiet contempt run-|
ning through the reply, which does us
good. If it were worth while, it would
be interesting to review the fearful
things that have been alleged against
Yale since it became the practice*of
unknown newspapers and bumptious
ignoramuses to advise its management.
The world has been told time and time
again that the Yale Campus was pecu-
liarly adapted to the generation and
spread of disease, and that dormitory
life was debilitating and immoral. The
reply to this was new dormitories and
the beginning of a new and additional
campus. It was declared that there
was a choice between Yale and Hell, in
favor of the latter. The answer to this
was an increased roster, recruited from
among the respectable and honorable
families of the country. Whatever the
charge was, its own refutation accom-
panied it. Yale has grown in every
essential way. Its course of instruction
has been extended, its force of instruc-
tors doubled, its departments developed
until university life is a fact, and the
number of students has
The moral tone of this large college
community is higher than it ever was,
and its scholarship higher and purer.
The moral and decent predominate.
Pray, why should the Faculty consider
the impertinences of irresponsible scrib-
blers? Yale is not a boarding school,
and her instructors are not policemen.
Her position in the world is fixed, and
hence the attacks upon her, which will
now be redoubled because another uni-
versity has surrendered, will be without
effect. Yale is true to her own con-
science, which is neither in the ice
chest nor in the keeping of journalists
one hundred miles away. |

Whist News.
The Whist Club has accepted the
challenge of the Princeton Whist Club,
and the first match between them will
be played some time in April. Har-
vard has not yet responded to the chal-
lenge of the Yale Whist Club, but the —
annual match will undoubtedly be
played in February, which is two
months earlier than usual, the change
being necessary on account of the
Princeton tournament.
It is hoped that next year a triangu-
lar whist tournament may be held, in
which Yale, Harvard and Princeton
will compete.
The team which will represent Yale
this year will not be chosen until
shortly before the time of the Harvard
match. Candidates for the team must
play at least two other members of the
Whist Club each week and report their
scores, which will count in selecting
the team. After Christmas a team
comnosed of the most promising can-
didates will play once a week with some
outside team. |
