ee ee ee tees ee ig - almost YALE ALUMNI WHEHEKLY MUSICAL CLUBS’ TOUR. — [Continued from rst page.]. St. Louis was left at 9.15 Pp. M., Leslie Thompson, ’99S., finishing the trip from here in place of F. J. Tytus, ’98 S., who was compelled to return home. Kansas City was reached the next morning, and the Clubs were imme- diately driven on tally-hos to the Coun- try Club. Here Mr. J. Marty gave a very jolly breakfast. Immediately after that Mrs. Nelson gave an afternoon dance to the Clubs, which was greatly enjoyed by all. The concert was held in the Gillis Opera House, and follow- ing it Mrs. Clark tendered a dance to the Clubs which did not end until about 5 A.M. | In St. Joseph, where the Clubs arrived early in the morning, the day was taken up in entertainments of various sorts. The concert was given before a very small house at the Tootle Theatre. After the concert Mrs. Tootle gave the most magnificent ball ever held in the city. It had taken two weeks to deco- rate the ball room. The ball did not end until about 7 A. M. At I0.15 A. M. the clubs left for Colorado. IN COLORADO. The Clubs arrived at Colorado Springs Thursday morning. They were met by the alumni and driven to the Austin’s Bluff Golf Club, five miles out, to breakfast. A number of the men procured bronchos and rode out. In the afternoon Mrs. R. J. Preston held a reception. The concert in the evening was given to'a packed house. The audience was very enthusiastic and the Clubs gave probably the best con- cert of the trip.: A supper and smoker at the Fl Paso Club followed, and at 3.25 A.M. the Clubs left for Denver. Friday morning was taken up in seeing Denver. In the afternoon Mrs. C. B. Kountze’s reception occupied the Club’s time. The concert in the even- ing was held at the Central Presbyte- rian Church. A crowd of 1,400 »eople were present, and the Club was warmly welcomed. A ball was then held in honor of the Yale men by Mrs. Wil- diam Cooke Daniels at the Brown Palace Hotel. Saturday was New Year’s Day, and the men spent most of the time at various private entertain- ments and in cementing the friendships they had formed the previous evening. An aiternoon dance was tendered the Citts by Mrs. fi. M. Porter = The second concert also attracted a very large crowd, and an almost entirely different program was furnished. The Clubs then went across the street to the University Club, where a rousing smoker was held. At midnight the men, with great regret, left for their train, which influential Denver men had succeeded in holding two hours. Too much cannot be said for the hos- pitality of the Coloradans, and it is safe to assert that another nine years will not go by before the Club makes a tour to Denver. The next day was spent on the road, and in the evening the Christmas tree was held. F. H. Sheehan officiated as Santa Claus with wit and discretion. The presents were very amusing. Minneapolis was reached Monday. In the afternoon Judge Coon gave a reception, and after the concert at the Lyceum Theatre, which was very well attended, a dance was held at the Ger- mania. A german followed the dance, some of the favor figures of which were very pretty and elaborate. St. Paul vied in hospitality with Minneapolis. Mrs. Dean’s breakfast was followed by Mrs. Noyes’ reception. The concert was held in the People’s Church, and then Mrs. Saunders gave a very handsome dance at her resi- dence. The Clubs left for Chicago at 3 AM. They arrived in Chicago at 3 P. M., after an exceptionally fast run and im- mediately went to a very delightful re- ception at Mrs. John M. Clark’s. The concert at the Central Music Hall was a great success, every seat having been taken weeks in advance. The Yale men then attended the Hamlin’s dance at the Metropole Hotel, and left at 4 Cleveland was reached about noon. The alumni and undergraduates took the men about the town and in the evening a smoker was held at the fa- mous Tavern Club, which is composed entirely of Yale graduates. Friday afternoon a dance was given the clubs at the Colonial Club. The audi- ence in the evening was a little smaller than usual, as Melba was in town, but it made up by being enthusiastic. The Clubs arrived at Buffalo, Satur- day morning. Mrs. M. Bushnell: gave a luncheon and then _ the Alumni Association a reception at the University Club. The concert went off very well, and then the men attended the entertainment at the Saturn Club, where several members: of the “Girl from Paris’ company did specialties. The Clubs left Buffalo at 4.15 A. M. and arrived at New York at 3 P. M. Sunday, where the cars were given up, the men returning to New Haven. SIDNEY R. KENNEDY. PRINCETON LETTER. Death of Trustee Green—Closing of the Grill Room—Enrollment. [Correspondence of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY ] Princeton, January 1o0—This old town is usually a very quiet place dur- ing the Christmas vacation, and very little ever happens during that period that attracts any public attention what- ever. Such has not been the case this year, however, for the papers have been well supplied with Princeton news all during the holidays. The first happening to attract public notice was the death of Trustee Charles E. Green. Mr. Green came up from his home at Trenton on December 23d to attend a meeting of the Board of Trustees, and after the meeting in the morning he was taken suddenly ill. He died of heart failure in the afternoon. Mr. Green was the senior member of that family of Greens whose name is so closely associated with the name of Princeton. It was this family that established the John C. Green School of Science; and the Lawrenceville Prepara- tory School also owes its orgination to the same source. Mr. Charles E. Green was an exceptionally loyal Princeton- ian, and some of the best work of his life has been done in behalf of the College. The public again had its notice at- tracted to Princeton about the first of the new year, because of the announce- ment that had been made that students would no longer be allowed to enter drinking resorts. There had been for years a rule of this sort on the College statute books, but no one had ever thought of trying to. enforce it literally. _ The Trustees, however, felt that owing to the charges that have recently been made against Princeton, she should set herself right by giving public notice of an intention to enforce that rule. This was a move that, it is generally con- ceded, will seriously harm the Prince- ton Inn and its now famous Grill Room. Student sentiment is somewhat divided as to the wisdom of the new rule, and it remains to be seen what the outcome will be. The annual University catalogue was issued during the holidays. The total enrollment for the year is 1,065, a gain of twenty over last year. These 1,065 are divided as follows:—Fellows, 11; Graduate Students, 114; Academic Stu- dents, 580;_. Scientific Students, 360. Pennsylvania has 281 men on the Col- lege rolls, New Jersey 261, and New York 181. Several new courses of graduate and undergraduate study are chronicled. | The annual catalogue of the Prince- ton Theological Seminary, just issued, shows an enrollment of 238 students, embracing 14 Graduate Students, 63 Seniors, 77 Middlers, 74 Juniors, and 10 Specials. This is fifteen less than were enrolled last year. The University resumed its sessions after the holidays on Thursday. The only change that had been made on the Campus was a very beautiful memorial window that had been put in the front of the Marquand Chapel. This win- dow is in fact a group of three windows forming one immense window in the west end of the building. The central window bears the inscription “In Lov- ing Remembrance of Horatio Whit- ridge Garrett, born August 1, 1873, died October 2, 1896.” The other two win- dows are also memorials, one in mem- ory of Henry Alexander Marquand, the father of the donor of the Chapel, and the other in memory of William Earle Dodge of the Class of Seventy-Nine, who died in 1884. The Spring athletic season com- menced to-day by the call for candi- dates for the track team to meet in the gymnasium. The men will be given regular work in the gymnasium for a few weeks under the direction of Mr. Christie, the trainer, before they are put to exercising on the field. All the members of last year’s track team, ex- cept Garrett and Colfelt, are in College, and Trainer Christie expects to develop some good men for the games in the Spring. Re Sia at DeForest Mathematical Prizes. The DeForest Mathematical Prizes were established by the late Dr. John DeForest, ’26, and were augmented by his son, the late Erastus L. DeForest, ’54, Of Watertown, Conn. ‘They are given for worthy solutions of problems in pure and applied mathematics. The problems can now be obtained at the Chittenden Library. A first prize of one hundred dollars, and three second prizes of fifty dollars each are offered to members of the Senior Academic Class. The amount available for prizes to the Junior and Sophomore classes is sixty dollars each. The graduation of the prizes, and the amounts awarded, will depend upon the character of the solutions offered. The following conditions will be ob- served: “Tt isnot required that all the problems should be solved. An able treatment of a part will be more highly esteemed that a less satisfactory treatment of all. Generalizations and appropriate ex- tensions are invited. Simplicity and neatness in the form of the demons- “strations and solutions should be es- pecially aimed at. “Solutions must be handed in at 90 High st. before 4 o’clock, Pp.
