As is probably well known, the Uni-
versity Glee Club was organized in
March, 1894, and incorporated in July
of the same year. It is composed of
graduates of a number of different col-
leges residing in New York, and has
at present some fifty-seven active mem-
bers, almost a fifth of whom are Yale
men. ‘There is, besides, an associate
membership of over one hundred and
fifty. The officers of. the Club for the
year are: President, J. Edward Weld;
Vice-President, George E. Wood; Sec-
retary, Noah H. Swayne, 2d; Treas-
urer, Bert L. Fenner; Music Commit-
tee, the President, ex-officio chairman,
Russell H. Hoadley, Frank C. Hoyt

Mead; Conductor, Arthur D. Wood-.

COLLEGE DINNERS AND MEETINGS.
From all indications the forthcoming
dinner of the New York alumni on
February 14th will be the most success-
ful in the history of the Association.
In consequence of the decision of the
Brooklyn Association to hold no ban-
quet this year, it is believed the New
York meeting will be an exceptional
one in point of attendance.
The following circular in regard to
the dinner, signed by Julian W. Cur-
tiss, Secretary, has been sent out:
<A dinner will be given under the
auspices of the Yale Alumni Associa-
tion of New York, and under the
management of the Dinner Commit-
tee, at Sherry’s, corner of Thirty-
seventh street and Fifth avenue, on
Monday evening, February 14th, at
o’clock.
“All Yale men, whether members or
not, and wherever residing, are invited.
Club was.
on have these matters in charge.
The price of tickets, covering wines
and cigars, is $5, the Association pay-
ing all expense beyond receipts from
tickets. :
“The dinner will be served at small
tables. Eight or twelve persons—pos-
' sibly more—can secure a separate table
upon or after purchasing tickets by
making written application therefor,
giving the names of their party. Such
application must be made on or before
February t1oth. Requests of two or
more persons to be seated together
should be made on or before the same
date, but such requests received up to
the day of the dinner will be complied
with so far as possible. Where no re-
quests are made, seats will be assigned
by the Committee.
“Applications for tickets, seats and
tables should be sent to William A.
Copp, Esq., Treasurer, 35 Wall street,
New York. Applications for tickets
should be accompanied by check. S
“The Debating team and the Foot-
ball team will be guests.” —
The names of the Dinner Committee
have been already printed in the
WEEKLY.
On Saturday evening at the Yale
Club the Class of Ninety-Six met
together for a dinner and _ reunion.
Over thirty men sat down to table and
more came in later. The class has
been trying to hold a meeting for some
time, but has been unable to heretofore
for various reasons. |
At seven o'clock on Tuesday even-
ing, February Ist, the officers of the
Alumni Fund Association and _ the
class agents will hold a business meet-
ing at the Club.
YALE CLUB AFFAIRS.
Outside of the Ninety-Six dinner
there has been little in the way of
entertainments going on at the Club.

sisting of Payson Merrill, ’65, who has
resigned from the Committee on Ad-
missions, and Noah H. Swayne, 2d,
has been appointed and will from now
} A
third member is to be added to the
committee at an early date. The com-
mittee now has under consideration a
handicap pool tournament, to be held
some time in February, if possible.
In the Club library additions are
being made from time to time in the
way of books, and: the committee in
charge also report a fairly large
amount of money received. Among
the recent gifts are fifty volumes given
by Henry Holt, ’62, and twenty-eight
by E. R. Lampson, ’93, while a fine
etching of Temple street, New Haven,
has been presented by Mr. E. D. Wor-
cester, Jr., 776.

recently in the Committee on Admis-
sions, which is at present made up as

Twenty-one new members were ad-
mitted on Wednesday, January 26th.
i
President Patton on Drinking.
President Patton of Princeton has
been talking recently to the students
down there about drinking. The two
practical points of his address are:
first, that a student doesn’t really need
any stimulants, and is generally better
of without them; and second, that the
Pauline doctrine of individual conduct
is the one which must always guide
any right-minded young man in his
attitude towards this question. This is
the doctrine which regulates personal
conduct by the influence which it has
upon others. Of course, it is always
to be assumed that an individual has
reckoned with his duty to himself in
the first place. The New York Sun,
which always has a keen editorial inter-
est in these ethical questions, agrees
with President Patton that “the youth-
ful spirits of college students are abun-
dant enough naturally to make their
artificial stimulation wholly wunneces-
” It continues: ‘When they are
sary.
further excited in the few who use
*
alcohol intemperately the result is all
t more offensive on that account.
nder- the artificial exhilaration the
boys pass beyond the limits of tol-
erable boisterousness and bring re-
proach on the whole college com-
munity.
“The truth is that in our climate and
tunder our social conditions it would be
better for college boys to drink noth-
ing at all in the way of alcoholic bev-
erages. They do not need them, and
abstinence from the use of them would
serve the interests of the physical and
intellectual health of the youth. For
the most part, however, they must be
left to put this restraint on themselves,
for the mere prohibition of drinking
and the taking of drastic measures for
its enforcement as a matter of college
discipline might tend only to give to
drink the irresistible attraction which
belongs to forbidden fruit, in youthful ©
minds especially. Like the social cir-
cles to which Dr. Patton referred, they
feel. the influence of the present dis-
position to frown upon breaches of
temperance as inexcusable offences
against good ‘manners. But, as we
have intimated, if they let alone stimu-
—lants they will be better off.”
