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.

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.

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. M., May
18, 1898.”
