Ninety-five members attended the eighteenth annual banquet of the Yale Alumni Association of Cleveland, which was held at the Stillman House, Cleve- Jand, Dec. 30th. ; Prior to the banquet a brief business meeting was held, at which the follow- ing officers were elected: President, George H. Ely, ’65; Vice-President, H. K. Devereux, ’83; Secretary and Treasurer, 'E,.. L.. Leeds, ’88. :Satisfac- tory progress was reported on the scholarship fund to aid worthy students of any Northern Ohio college in taking a post-graduate course at Yale. For the banquet, the corridors of the Stillman House leading to the dining room, in which it was held, were elabo- rately decorated with palms and wreaths of laurel. In the dining room the same idea was carried out, so far as the green was concerned. Wreaths of laurel were festooned from the center chandeliers to the corners of the room, and blue burgees of old Yale were much in evi- dence in all parts of it. The tables were decorated with calla lilies, hya- cinths and candelabra. Mr. Horace Andrews, ’83, presided as toastmaster, and after suitable allusions to the enjoyment of the occasion, intro- duced Prof. Bourne of Yale College, who feelingly referred to the pleasure it afforded him to address so many former students of his institution. He spoke of the many changes which had taken place at Yale since some of those present left their Alma Mater. He also encouraged the Cleveland alumni in their efforts to found a scholarship for worthy students of Adelbert and other Northern Ohio institutions. Mr. W. S. Karrush, to whom Toast- master Andrews referred as the oldest graduate present, was the next speaker. He expressed his gratification at being able to be present and told of the for- mer banquets of the association, among them being the first one which was held at the Weddell House, eighteen years ago. He also referred to the influence of Yale as evidenced by the fact that at that first banquet was pres- ent a judge of the United States Su- preme Court, who said that among his associates were four graduates of that College. . Mr. M. S. Greenough, whom Mr. Andrews introduced as President of the Harvard Alumni Association, was the next speaker. He spoke of the pleasant relations of Yale and Harvard on the athletic field,“and predicted that in the future the influence of the two great institutions would be in favor of some needed reforms in the present method of conducting some _ sports, particularly football. é Toastmaster Andrews then intro- duced the President-elect of the Asso- ciation, Mr. George H. Ely, ’65, whom he said had once succeeded in securing an adjournment of the legislature to enable him to be present at an annual banquet. Mr. Ely spoke of the ban- quet as the most enthusiastic gathering of the alumni which he had ever attend- ed, and referred to certain innovations which the Yale alumni of Cincinnati introduced at their last annual meeting, and which he promised, should they be adopted by the local association, to preside over to the best of his ability. Mr. Malcolm McBride, a member of the Yale football team of the past sea- son, was the last speaker called upon before the banquet took on a strictly informal nature. He told how the tri- umphs of Yale on the gridiron were accomplished, and awarded. the praise for them to the effective work of the Yale coaches.
