The only son I ever had I sent to Yale; and I have never regretted it. Please publish this statement in the Voice. Truly yours, John H. Vincent.” Concurrent with its attention to Yale this paper has continued to say things about Professor Shields and President Patton. It reported the New York dinner under the head of “Princeton’s Chamnvagne Supper,’ and has printed a good deal of abusive matter about the President of Princeton. The paper each week contains a great many letters and comments commending the Voice, and urging it to go ahead until Yale’s Faculty uses all means in the way of rule-making to keep reach of students. Each week some re- ference is made to the “victory” at Princeton. One of the incidental shots at Yale is a description of most disgusting orgies at Grand Rapids, Mich., on the part of the members of the Yale Glee and Banjo Clubs, at the last Christmas trip. The fact was overlooked that the Clubs did not go to Grand Rapids. One of the February numbers of the Voice has for its feature a report of one of Anthony Comstock’s agents, who was sent to New Haven to find out whether the map of Yale’s moral en- vironment was accurate. Mr. Com- stock found seventy-five “saloons,”’ instead of sixty-six, within the radius chosen by the Voice, that is, in most of the streets of the business part of New Haven. The list included the New Haven House, the Graduates Club, the University Club and a few grocery stores. Some New Haven people were stirred up at first, but nearly all have by this time quieted down and reached the conclusion that the matter is not worth serious attention. The matter has been referred to very generally in the press of the country. Editorial attention has been given the matter by a number of standard papers. In nine cases or more out of ten they have either made light of the thing or have declared their belief that college life in general and Yale life in particu- lar have steadily grown morally stronger for a number of years, and that this University is in a very healthy con- .dition in this respect. In general the effect in the public prints is like that produced by Mrs. Poteat’s declaration in favor of hell as a better place to send a boy than Yale. MR. MOODY’S STATEMENT. Of individuals who have made state- ments in the matter, the most con- ‘spicuous are Dwight L. Moody, Rev. Father Huntington and Bishop Potter. Both of the latter used very strong lan- guage in denouncing the attack on Yale. Mr. Moody, in an interview after one of his recent days of conduct- ing services at Yale, said: “T have been pretty well acquainted th Yale for twenty years, and I have r seen the University in as good liquois out of _ cester, Mass. condition religiously as now. My old- est son graduated here, and if my other — son, who is now in the Freshman class, gets as much good out of Yale as his — brother did, I shall have reason to — thank God through time and eternity.” — ~<a <> ee Student Volunteer Convention. The Third International Convention — of the Student Volunteer ‘Movement was held in Cleveland, Ohio, from Wednesday until Saturday of last week. This convenuon was the largest mis-— sionary convention ever held and was also the most successful of the Volun- teer conventions. Four hundred and fifty-eight institutions were representad , with a total of over seventeen hundréd delegates. There were also representa- tives from seventy-one boards of for- — eign missions. Yale sent one of the - largest delegations, having twenty-nine delegates. The total registration of the convention was 2214. The services of the convention con- sisted of lectures and discussion by noted speakers in the mornings, and of special conferences in the afternoons. In the evenings general meetings of the delegates were held in the Armory of the Cleveland Grays. Among the speakers were Rev. iisrlan «. Beach, "78, Educational Secretarv of the Volunteer Movement; Rev. William B. Boomer, ’80, of Chile; Rev. Henry N. Cobb, ’55, Corresponding Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Reformed Church of America; Rev. J. J. Lucas, 66; of India, and E. C. Loben- stine, 95. —_— wy ee Oe The College Pulpit.
