AT THE YALE CLUB.
Club Night Last Friday—Alumni
Association Dinner.
[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. W.

Chamber Concerts.
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.
