‘Living Yale.”
The following poem, written for the
occasion by Mr. Louis Howland, ’79,
was read at the recent Indiana Alumni
Association dinner in Indianapolis:
The-power to use the instrument at hand
And get results—this the lesson grand
Taught by our royal mother! Sons of Yale
Ne’er blame their tools when in their work they fall.
What will you have? A ’leven? We don’t repine,.
But with our ‘‘kid’’ team smash through the Prince-
ton line!
On Soldiers’ Field led by the green deSaulles
We beat back Harvard from ’neath our very goal !
No team in sight, Yale made one from the stuff
She had at hand—and it proved good enough.
But had it failed no Yale man would have thought
To take the ‘* Y’s”’ from those who bravely fought!
So now you want a poet for your feast
And I who am of rhymesters quite the least.
Can only humbly yield to your desire
And trust your loyalty to aid my lyre—
A loyalty that Yale men always show
To those who do with love the best they know
The team had one advantage over me:
Twas coached by Butterworth! And you must see
That he who speaks to you might win your cheers
Had he, as he has not, been coached by Beers!
To-night we meet to wave aloft the blue
And to the dear old college pledge anew
Our faith and love which never shall grow cold
While Yale men’s hearts one ruddy drop still hold !
We love her for her mighty love of truth ;
In her we elders worship our lost youth
Which stands out clear as sunrise in the light
Shed by Yale’s glories o’er the deep’ning night.
Immortal Mother, old yet ever young,
May thy dear vision tune my tuneless tongue!
The past? Why men are here who never saw
The noble Woolsey, master of the law,
Or Porter with his ever kind[y smile
Who could from ego ego’s self beguile !
And Dana, too, the great, whom we loved so,
Reposes in some stratum—I don’t know
Nordolcareto. I[knewhim
And his high soul which Science could not dim !
Loomis and Newton, Packard, Thacher—all
Have since my day passed through the fleshly wall!
In that far past stalks many a ghost—I see
E’en now the spectre of the Jubilee !
Dead, ah yes, and buried—drop a tear!
I saw it perish in my Sophomore year!
The Chapel, too, of Yankee art the flower—
How many flags have fluttered from thy tower !—
In which unnumbered sinners had been taught
’*Twere better far to pray than to get caught
Neglecting such a duty, sank to decay,
For men who came to flunk soon ceased to pray.
My class, the last of an imperial line
To leave the old—and first at the new shrine
That wondrous hybrid that men call Battell
Of types as differing as heaven and hell!
No need to mention Davy and the fence
And other things which have departed hence ;
But I must ask, before your patience fails,
What has become of Ikey of the Yales?
Dead can he be, Ike Hartenstein, the great?
Not even he can ’scape the common fate!
So much for dead Yale—and much of her is dead
To those who twenty years ago were wont to tread
A Campus unadorned by Osborn, Dwight,
Welch, Lawrance, Vanderbilt, a goodly sight,
These modern palaces, but we bow low
In adoration of the Old Brick Row!
But Yale herself, thank God, can never die!
Her blue stands steadfast as the bending sky—
And one may, as I hear, still quaff his ale
At Mory’s to the prowess of old Yale!
What would you have? E’en perfectness improves
The law is progress in a world that moves.
The hero’s body may be great or small—
He's still a hero, if his soul be tall!
And so we see with joy the same great soul
Flame from the eye of her upon whose roll
Our names are writ—souls kindly, yet austere
Unspoiled by luxury or costly gear!
Sure of herself she holds her even way
Doing her quiet work from day to day!
Not given to gush, in truth somewhat reserved,
Her call to duty many an arm has nerved!
On gridiron, river, diamond or in life
She’d have her children wage a manly strife,
Glad when they win, proud, tender when they fail—
Which is not often—such is our Mother Yale!
To make the fight, to win it if you can,
But win or lose, to prove oneself a man,
Modest in triumph, in defeat serene—
This the ideal of our hearts’ great Queen!
Could there be better for this land of ours
In time of peace, or when black trouble lowers?
In college or in world the rule’s the same
When once you're in it always play the game!
The unsuspected, last, all-conquering reserve—
The extra pound of muscle, tug of nerve,
Or grip of brain—has won full many a field
For beaten men who yet refused to yield !
No brute triumph this, but rarest psychic force
And he who has it always stays the course!
contested throughout.
The air is full of voices, and our ears
Hear strangest doctrines! And the teacher fears
To say that this is false and that is true,
To praise the old or to condemn the new !
But there’s one Voice, how well we know its tone !—
That speaks the truth although it speak alone!
The ancient faith, high honor, culture true,
For these great verities still waves the Blue!
Lux et Veritas—motto of her choice!
Her beacon—Lwz ; and Veritas, her Voice!

The Agreement to Row at New
London.
A reader of the WEEKLY has asked
us why a race at New London with
Harvard was arranged before the in-
vitation to Cornell was extended. If
Yale were to row Cornell, according to
his opinion, she should have left mat-
ters free and open at the outset and not
bound herself with Harvard. A sim-
ple answer to this is that the Yale-
Harvard race at New London in June,
1898, was arranged for in the original
five-year athletic agreement with Har-
vard, drawn up and signed last Spring
by Dr. Brooks of Harvard, and Mr.
Camp of Yale.
Chicago Executive Committee.
The meeting of the Executive Com-
mittee of the Chicago Yale Alumni As-
sociation took place January 6th. It
" was announced that the annual meet-
ing of the Association would be held
on February 26th, at the University
Club. Hon. Henry E. Howland, ’54,
has been invited to attend as the guest
of the Association. It is expected that
a portrait of ex-President Porter will
be shown at the meeting, which is to
be presented to the University Club by
Charles L. Bartlett, 76.

"64; Ist Vice-President, George W.
Meeker, ’79 S.; 2d Vice-President,

Hockey Team Wins.
The Hockey team won its first vic-
tory of the season on the evening of
January 20, by defeating the team of
the New Jersey Athletic Club at the
Claremont Avenue Rink, Brooklyn.
The: score was I to o. A very large
crowd saw the game, which was hotly
Excellent team-
play was shown by both sides. Yale’s
only point was made by Barnett on a
pass from Hall, who picked the disk
from the midst of a fierce scrimmage.
The Boston Chess Club gave a ban-
quet last Saturday night in honor of
Mr. Elmer E. Southard, the Harvard
Chess player, who did such skillful
-work in the recent intercollegiate Chess
Tournament in New York City. Mr.
Southard has not lost a game in the
tournament.
