ALUMNI DINNERS.
[Continued from rst page.]
C. Frank Bohan’s subject was Yale
Bachelors, and he handled it in an able
and entertaining manner. He talked
happily and historically on the status
of the bachelor and closed with a trib-
ute to Yale.
NOT YALE LUCK.
George W. Woodruff, ’89, the famous
football coach, responded to the toast
Yale Luck. Mr. Woodruff stoutly
maintained that there was no _ such
thing as Yale luck. When the same
phenomenon repeats itself for a long
number of years, it is evident that it
has some cause besides chance. He said
that he believed that there were just
as good men at Yale now in athletics as
there were in his day and that there
would be just as good men in twenty
years from now as there are now; that
the prodigious success of Yale in ath-
letics was owing primarily to the natu-
ral character of Yale students, to their
courage, zeal, earnestness and deter-
mination to win. In the second place,
it was owing to their magnificent sys-
tem of training, which subordinated
individual preferences to harmony; that
this system was largely responsible for
the great team play which characterizes
all of Yale’s nines and crews and elev-
ens. Mr. Woodruff spoke eloquently
of the inspiration that animated every
Yale man in athletics, and he prophe-
sied continuous success in the future.
Impromptu speeches were made by
Judge Stanley Woodward, Frank W.
Wheaton, Felix Ansart, A. C. Camp-
bell, Thomas Darling, Frank E. Don-
nelly, John D. Farnham and Frank G.
Darte.
The affair was the most successful
and enthusiastic which has been held
by the alumni of this section for many
years.

ST. LOUIS DINNER. *
The Yale Alumni Association of St.
Louis held its annual dinner Wednes-
day evening, December 2g9th, at the St.
Louis Club. Fully seventy-five alumni
and undergraduates were present. Pre-
vious to the dinner the Association
held its annual election of officers. It
resulted in the selection of Gen. John
W. Noble, ’51, for President; Edward
Hidden, ’85, for Vice-President, and
W. S. Pope, Jr., ’945., Secretary.
The banquet hall was profusely deco-
rated with Yale colors. It was a jolly
assemblage that gathered around the
well-spread table, and notwithstanding
the difference in age and experiences,
everyone enjoyed himself; joined in the
singing and told stories of his college
career. After dinner and all had sung
“Here’s to Good Old Yale,” Judge
Elmer B. Adams, 765, former Presi-
dent of the Alumni Association, deliv-
ered an address of welcome. The fol-
lowing toasts were responded to:
(Wale.
“Be it a weakness, it deserves
some praise; we love the play-
place of our early days.”
Prof. Gustav Gruener, 84.
“The Alumni.”
“They are never alone who are
accompanied by 1t.oble thoughts.” |
Hon. John W. Noble, ’51.
“Campus Life.’”’
“Dreams of that which cannot
die.”
Mr. Thomas Hedge, ’67.
“Vale Life in its Different Phases.”
Gen. Lewis B. Parsons, ’40; Hon.
Charles F. Joy, ’74, and many
others.
Later in the evening the affair be-
came more informal. Mr. Fred W.
Paramore, ’79S., took Judge Adams’
place as toastmaster, and many speech-
es were made and stories told infor-
mally. It was a late hour before the
company finally adjourned.

R. Cc. Lehmann’s Book. ©
Mr. R. C. Lehmann’s new book on
“Rowing” appeared recently and is on
sale at the Co-op and Judd’s. The
book is published by a New York firm
and contains about three hundred and
twenty pages. It is profusely illus-
trated with half-tone cuts, part of which
are pictures of crews and famous oars-
men, and part are pictures illustrating
good and bad positions in the various
points of the stroke. Mr. Lehmann’s
object in writing the book is not only
to give instructions and hints about
rowing, but also to commend rowing as
a sport. The first chapter is devoted
entirely to a history of boats and boat-
ing and to setting forth the many ad-
vantages of rowing. Following this
are chapters on first lessons with fixed
seats and with sliding seats. Several
chapters are devoted to ‘‘combined
oarsmanship in eights,” setting forth
the necessary qualities for each position
in the boat, etc. Another chapter
treats of training and diet, together
with the ailments liable to training. A
very interesting chapter is devoted to
the race day and the race. There is a
very interesting chapter on “Sculling,”
by Guy Nickalls, who has won the
Diamond Sculls several times. Mr. C.
M. Pitman has a chapter on “Steering.”
The last part of the book is given up
to chapters on “College Rowing at
Oxford, Cambridge and Eton,” ‘“Aus-
tralian Rowing,’ and ‘Rowing in
America.” Mr. Sandow, the strong
man, gives his views on the training of
an oarsman, and the question, ‘Are
Athletes Healthy?” is discussed at full
length. In the appendix there is a
complete list of rules governing Eng-
lish boating contests, including the
Henley Regatta. The book is a valu-
able acquisition to the library of sport,
and is to rowing much the same as Mr.
Camp’s and Mr. Deland’s book is to
football.
