Vou VLEs ates -F8: NEW HAVEN, CONN., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1898. Prick Tren Cents. A NEW SOCIETY. The Sophomore Wigwam Formed on an Original Plan, On Thursday evening, January 20th, forty members of the Sophomore class met at Stewart’s and organized themselves into a club under the name of the Sophomore Wigwam. The following officers were elected: First Chairman, Owen Johnson; Sec- ond Chairman, J. M. Hopkins; Secre- tary and Treasurer, J. M. McCormick. The following men will serve with the officers on the Executive Committee: ). 4 Ptcoimsy ¢ GE Sullivan: Mathew Mills and Kenneth Bruce. For the purpose of debating the Club is divided into two equal camps, with captains elected to choose the sides of question and select the leaders for each debate, F. B. Adams and J. D. Dana being chosen from their respec- tive camps to act in this capacity. As planned, a debate will be opened by the leader of the affirmative, who will pro- ceed to outline in a general way the position assumed by his camp. The leader on the negative will perform a like duty for his camp. After this opening the discussion becomes per- fectly informal, each member being at liberty to speak once on the side of the question which his camp _ supports. The leaders will then sum up the argu- ments advanced and refuted, closing the debate. The First and Second Chairmen, elected from opposite camps, alter- nately preside and debate. Each night the presiding chairman selects one member of each camp to constitute with him a board of judges. In this way the officers are not excluded from the debates. The board of judges, too, will be perfectly even, having one night a majority for one camp, with the con- ditions reversed at the succeeding meeting. The meeting will be entirely informal, the members sitting around smoking. A record will be kept of the results of these contests, and at the expiration of the Spring term the los- ing camp will entertain the winners in some way. At the expiration of the debate the Club will go into informal session, the members gathering around the tables and conversing or singing. At a fixed hour the Club will again be called to order, the subject and sides of the next debate announced and the meeting adjourned by all standing and singing “Bright College Years.” REPRESENTATIVE MEMBERSHIP. The membership has been so care- fully selected that it is doubtful if a body more representative of the class could be chosen. There is, then, in the Wigwam an opportunity to hear ques- tions of College or Class importance discussed from all standpoints, and as the Club is intended to continue through the College course, it will do much to give a more perfect under- standing and unity among all its mem- bers. The object of the Club is to stimulate debating and to bring together mem- bers of the class whose interests are diverse, once in two weeks for a com- mon purpose. The following are the members: F. B. Adams, A. J. Baker, K. Bruce, M. B. Brainard, S. B. Camp, F. Carter, M. S. Cressy, J. D. Dana, Julian Day, H. A. Dow, H. E. Ellsworth, R. Fergu- son, E. B. Greene, J. C. Greenway, H. C. Heinz, J.

The thirtieth annual banquet of the Yale Alumni Association of Pennsyl- vania was held at the Bellevue Hotel Phila., Pa., Friday, Jan. 29. About 150 graduates and guests were in attend- ance and the meeting goes on record as the most enthusiastic and successful this Association has ever held. The annual report, which showed the As- sociation in a good financial condition, was read by W. H. Ingham, President of the Association. President Timo- thy Dwight of Yale was among the guests of honor and made the principal speech of the evening. Col. N. G. Osborn, 80, of New Haven, presided. After dinner, toasts were responded to as follows: “Yale,” President Timo- thy Dwight; “Harvard,” Owen Wis- ter; . Princeton, -Swussex. D. Davis; “Pennsylvania,’ Francis A. Lewis; “Sister Associations,’ Hart Lyman, "73; “Executive Committee,’ Dr. C. Hudson Makuen; “Undergraduates,” J. C. McLauchlan, ’o8. YALE DEMOCRACY. President Dwight, in the course of his response to the toast ‘Yale,” defined Yale spirit. He said it con- sisted in “the determination to do whatever he is called upon to do, and to do it whether he likes it or not; in other words, manliness in the best form; brotherhood, everywhere and always among Yale men; and demo- cracy which draws no line of judgment according to a money standard.” The speaker talked at length of this democracy, terming it as the glory and safety of the American nation. It should not be determined, he said, by the cost of board one pays while at college. “Ii I can afford only $1.25 a week for board and you pay $6, we should live accordingly, and respect each other for what we are, as men, whether we have an income of $100 or $5,000 a year. This is the kind of democracy that exists at Yale to-day.” In speaking of the erection of costly and magnificent buildings for educa- tional purposes, President Dwight says it is a mistake to fear that such a thing is dangerous. “We are building now for the future generations, and the existence of such buildings is an educa- tional force for those that are to come, which we did not enjoy.” In closing, he said it is a. fortunate circumstance. that Yale closes its second century of existence with the close of the 19th century, and that its birthday is the same as that of the new century. He spoke of the great possibilities that were before the institution, and urged the alumni to make fitting prepara- tions for the coming bicentennial anni- VerTsaryé 7° ; One of the best speeches of. the evening was made by Mr. McLauch- lan, 98, who spoke for the undergrad- uates.
