Cleveland Alumni Banquet.
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.
After that the members of the Asso-
