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.

son, Preston Kumler, A. D. Leavitt,

PHILADELPHIA DINNER,
Distinguished Guests— Pres. Dwicht
Speaks on Yale Democracy.
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.

The fourteenth annual meeting of the
Yale Alumni Association of Essex
Co., N. J., was held at Davis’ restau-
rant, Orange, Jan. 28, 1898. There
was an unusually large attendance.

President D. W. Richards about half
past nine. The following officers were
unanimously elected: President, Mr.
Emile A. Schultze, Jr.; members of
the Executive Committee, to serve
four years, Messrs. James B. Dill and
Allton H. Sherman; Nominating Com-
mittee, 1899, Messrs. Austen Colgate,
Percy Edgar, A. H. Wallis.
The subject of the annual dinner was
discussed and it was suggested to the
Executive Committee that they select
some date about the middle of Febru-
ary. It will probably be held on the
16th or 17th. The Committee was
requested to invite the members of the
present Senior class coming from
Essex County to attend the dinner. It
would add to the pleasure of the occa-
sion if a delegation from New Haven,
in addition to a quartet from. the Glee
Club, could be present. It would also
