The University Athletic Club.
In a recent issue of the WEEKLY an
article on the University Athletic Club
of New York omitted one or two im-
portant features of the Club. One of
the most attractive of these features is
the accommodation offered for resident
or non-resident members in the eleven
bedrooms of the club house.
The article also failed to state the
fact that the payment of the initiation
fee of the members is spread over sev-
eral years, instead of being payable in
advance.
The qualifications for membership
were not as clearly stated as_ they
should have been. These are the same
as those of the University Club, and
require a degree after a course of not
less than three years study.
The name of Mr. Adee has always
been so closely associated with this
Club in its important offices and its
important acts, that it was taken for
granted that he was still at the head
of the important athletic committee,
As a matter of fact, however, Mr. Adee
retired from that committee two years
ago and has not been a member of it
since.

Gift to Vale Medical School.
The sum of $1,000 has been given to
the Yale Medical School by Mrs. D. C.
Leavenworth of New Haven. Mrs.
Leavenworth is the widow of the late
D. C. Leavenworth, M.D., of the Medi-
cal School Class of Sixty-Five. The
gift will be known as the Leavenworth
Memorial Fund, and it will be used
in defraying the general expenses of
the School.
The Anniversary Committee.
The Committee on the Celebration
of the Yale Bi-centennial met Tuesday
in this city for organization, but did
not complete the organization at that
sitting. Another meeting will be held
soon for this purpose.
In the list of names of members of
this Committee, announced in the
last WEEKLY, the name of Professor
Henry W. Farnam did not appear.
This was due to a clerical error in
making up the list. Professor Farnam
was one of the twenty-two members
appointed by the Corporation.

Will Be Reinstated.
The Yale Basket Ball Team wat
disqualified on Jan. 19th, by the Regis-
tration Committee of the A. A. U. for
having played a game with the Fourth
Separate Company Basket Ball team of
Yonkers, N. Y., a team which was dl-
ready under disqualification by the A.
A. U. The rule under which this
offense comes is anew one, having becn .
passed on Jan. Ist, and the manage-
ment of the Yale team thought that it
had no bearing on College teams, and
so played with an unregistered team.
Secretary Sullivan has given orders
that on the receipt of application for
registration from the members of the
Yale team they will be re-instated.
