[Correspondence of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY ] The first “Club Night’ of 1898 was celebrated at the Yale Club on Friday evening last and proved as enjoyable in every way as any of its predecessors. “In spite of the fact that the announce- ments of the date chosen was not made in time to have a notice inserted in the last issue of the WEEKLY, there was the usual large crowd present to meet one another and listen to the speaker of the evening, Professsor William H. Brewer, of Yale, who had been invited down from New Haven to address the members. For his subject he had chosen “Forestry in the United States,” and his more or less informal discus- sion of the topic was thoroughly en- joyed by all present. As was said in our letter of last week, the Club has decided to give enter- tainments of this kind quite frequently, and it is probable that from now on there will be a “Club Night” on the second Friday of each month. One exception at least, however, will be made to this rule, the February meeting being omitted on account of the Alumni Association dinner, mention of which is made below. The next “Club Night,” therefore, will in all likelihood be on Friday, March 11th. Arrange- ments for this have not yet been com- pleted, but invitatiuns’ have already been sent to Professor W. L. Phelps and Professor Reynolds, of Yale, to be present and speak. _'While on the subject of the Club, it might be stated that since the meet- ing of the Council announcement has been made that the membership has passed the 750 mark, with enough names still on the waiting list to swell the enrollment to eight hundred or more. With the finances of the organi- zation in good shape, the increase in both resident and non-resident mem- bership continuing steadily and the library slowly, but it is to be hoped surely, gaining ground, the new year would seem to have begun in a most auspicious manner. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION DINNER. On Monday, February 14th, the Yale Alumni Association of New York will hold a dinner at Sherry’s. The ar- rangements for this have been entrust- ed to a committee appointed by the President, Mr. George A. Adee, ’67, and no efforts are being spared to make the event’ one of the most notable of Yale gatherings in this city. The price of tickets will be five dollars apiece including everything, and should this not prove sufficient to defray the cost of the entertainment the deficit will be met with funds now in the hands of the Association’s Treasurer. The representative character of this dinner can be judged by the make-up of the committee of preparations, which is given below. Among the special plans for the celebration, which are already sure of being carried out, will be the presence of the Yale University Debating Team which won from Har- vard last month, and which has already accepted, through Mr. Fisher, the in- vitation. The Yale University Foot- ball Team of 1897 has also notified Mr. Adee, through Mr. Twichell, that the invitation to be present at that time will be accepted by all the members of the team. It is expected that Rev. Joseph H. Twichell of Hartford will welcome the team in behalf of the alumni. The following is the committee of arrange- ments: Henry E. Howland, ’54; Bray- ton Ives, ‘61; Edmund Coffin, ’66; Geo. C. Holt, ’66; Geo. A. Adee, ’67; William A. Copp, ’690; Thomas Thach- er, °71; Hart Lyman, ’73; Gen. W.

The announcement of the success of the movement to continue the Chamber Concerts this season has been received with great satisfaction. These concerts have been given in this city for the last ten years, but were not begun this season, as previously announced, as the treasury was empty. The matter was taken in hand by Professor Perrin and circular letters were sent to patrons of music for the purpose of raising a guarantee fund of $300, which has been accomplished. The Kneisel Quar- tet has been engaged and all arrange- ments made for three concerts in Col- lege Street Hall on February 7th, March 20th, and April 18th. <> o, a> : a The annual indoor games of the Yale Athletic Association will be held March 12th in the Second Regiment Armory. | | | | The New Exchangeable Policy e OF THE...
