YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY
5
BOSTON ASSOCIATION DINNER.
President Dwight and Many Other
Graduates Make Addresses.
A mighty cheer and often for Yale,
a kind and friendly utterance for Har-
vard, a cheery pat on the shoulder for
Dartmouth, and a laugh for Cornell—
all this was at the annual dinner of the
Boston Alumni Association of Yale at |
the Exchange Club, Boston, on Thurs-
day evening, February toth. It was one
of the most successful gatherings ever
held by the Association.
Walter I. Bigelow, ’77, one of the
famous “three Walters” of the days of
Seventy-Seven, acted as _ toastmaster.
At his right-hand sat President Dwight;
at his left, the Hon. S. L. Powers,
Dartmouth, 774, and the other guests
at the head table were: William B. An-
derson, ‘86, of New York: William M.
Barnum, °77, @. New “York: Co FP.
Chapin, 777, of Waterbury; George L.
Huntress, *70; Sherman L. Whipple,
’81; James Otis Rodgers, ’98, and Burr
C. Chamberlin, ’97 S.
In arising to open the after-dinner
speech-making, Mr. Bigelow said in
brief: ‘‘The keynote of to-night’s dis-
cussion will be ‘Yale Spirit.’ That’s
what has brought us all here together.
We have come to hear the old songs,
tell the old stories and have a night of
real enjoyment. I have often been
asked to tell just what is meant by the
Yale Spirit. I say it is love and en-
thusiasm felt for our Alma Mater. It
is something that goes with a man
through life and acts as an incentive
to all his work. To you I give this
toast: ““The Yale Spirit,—may we always
imbibe it and may it always inspire our
noblest efforts.”
BI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
President Dwight, on arising to re-
spond to the toast “The University,”
was given a rousing reception, the en-
tire assemblage springing to its feet and
applauding in the heartiest manner.
“It is very interesting to me,” said
the Princeton, “to watch the graduates
of Yale as they have gone on in years,
said he. “The life of the educated,
thoughtful man grows happier as it
moves On in years.
“The blessing of a liberal education
is the greatest earthly blessing except
that of the home. The University is
near its second centennial, and I think
every student of its history will be im-
pressed with the divine guidance of the
University during these 200 years.
“We are determined to celebrate the
giving of the charter in I901, and we
hope there will be a harmonious sen-
timent for the carrying forward of the
work of the University, according as
the century opens before us. We hope
for greater things in the century which
is coming and we hope for unity that
will place the University where it ought
to be, in a position to carry on greater
work.”
President Dwight, at the conclusion
of this speech, was given three more
cheers, and the toastmaster then intro-
duced Samuel L. Powers, Dartmouth,
‘74, President of the Newton Club, the
organization which banqueted the Yale
Eleven so royally at its visit to Newton
last Fall. His toast was “The Dart-
mouth Spirit.”
In closing, Mr. Powers made a hit
when he said:
“After the Yale-Newton game last
Fall, the losers banqueted the winners
to show that they bore them no ill-will
for the defeat. That is the spirit that
greater institutions than the Newton
Club could well emulate.”
Attorney-General Knowlton of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts was
to have responded to the toast “College
Men of To-day,” but being unavoidably
detained by the trial of a capital case,
George L. Huntress, ’70, was called
upon to respond in his stead. This he.
did by paying glowing tribute to Cap-
tain Rodgers. He thought that one of
the noblest exhibitions of the Yale
Spirit he ever saw was on Soldiers’
Field last Fall, when Harvard had the
ball on Yale’s four-yard line, and-he
could never forget the effect, in that try-
ing moment, of Captain Rodgers’ quiet
command, “Steady, Yale!”
YALE IN JOURNALISM.
Cc. F. Chapin, 77, of Waterbury,
Conn., spoke of “Yale in Journalism.”
In beginning, he instanced some cases
where Yale men had come to the front
and won fame in newspaper work,
notably Kellar of the New York Journal,
the late Washington Hesing of Chica-
go, John Porter, the President’s pri-
vate Secretary, George Mathews, of the
Buffalo Express, Charles Hopkins
Clarke of the Hartford Courant, and
Frank Root formerly of the Palla-—
dium. In referring to the power for
good or evil possessed by the press, he
told the story of Edward P. Clark’s
successful work against the passage of
the Blair educational bill, which would
it was claimed, cost the country $400,-
000,000,”
“It showed,” said he, “that the old
Yale spirit exists in journalism as in
other walks of life. So far as journal-
ism at Yale now is concerned, it is far
better than it was twenty years ago.”
Capt. Rodgers’ Eleven received a
tremendous three-times-three and a
“tiger” as he arose to tell “How it was
done.” He told how the “Yale spirit”
was put into that eleven of boys. It
started with the coachers, every man of
whom was brimming over with it, and
soon eyen the Freshmen had it. The
College felt it, and all worked together
as a harmonious whole. This spirit
had been somewhat lacking for two
years, but it has its strengthening in-
fluence on New Haven once more, and
every man is ready to do or die for the
blue. “Skim” Brown had a trouble
with an ear, which kept him out of the
game for a while, and he finally pro-
posed that the ear be cut off, but
Coach Butterworth drew the line at this
manifestation of the spirit, the coach
insisting that the Freshman had no
beauty to spare.
Captain Chamberlin. of next year’s
team spoke briefly and encouragingly
of the outlook for Yale in all the sports
in the coming season. He thought
that the prospects for the baseball
team were brilliant and said that he felt
quite sure that odds of five to one
against Yale would not be secured this
year.
William M. Barnum, ’77, spoke for
the New York Alumni. He said Yale
never knew how dear Harvard was to
her until she lost her for two years.
William B. Anderson, ’86, closed the
speaking with a talk on “Yale Ideals.”
The Trinity College alumni, who were
dining elsewhere in the city, sent cor-
dial greetings during the _ evening,
which were returned in kind.

Basket Ball Games.
The last two games played by the
Basket Ball team were against Trinity
at Hartford on Tuesday, February 8th,
and against the Knickerbocker Athletic
Club at New York on Thursday, Feb-
ruary 1oth. Both games resulted in
easy victories for the Yale team, the
first by a score of 36 to Io, the second
by a score of 27 to 7.
In both games Sharpe distinguished
himself by his excellent play. Yale’s -
victories, however, were due to her team
play and to her fine defensive work.
The Yale team lined up as follows in
both games: Capt. Peck, left-guard;
Lockwood, right-guard; Sharpe, center;
Beard, left-forward; Clarke, right-for-
ward.
A challenge has been sent to the Cor-
nell basket ball team for a game, but
no answer has as yet been received.
a a ll i en
A movement has been started to or-
ganize a lacrosse team. The captain
and manager of the Harvard lacrosse
team were present at a meeting last
week, held for the purpose of organiza-
tion. A meeting will be held to-mor-
row night at 175 Lyceum, at 6.45 P. M.,
to which all are urged to come.
