University in my mind. 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.” —

of the Student Volunteer ‘Movement
was held in Cleveland, Ohio, from
Wednesday until Saturday of last week.

sionary convention ever held and was
also the most successful of the Volun-

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,
