"47—Sylvanus P. Marvin celebrated
the 34th anniversary of his pastorate of

ville, Conn., on February 26th.
’47—Henry Barton Chapin, the Sec-
retary of the Class of Forty-Seven,
has recently issued the Jubilee Anni-
versary Report of his Class in a neat
book of 104 pages. The report gives a
very complete history of the Class and
contains much interesting reading,

concern.
"490—A large pastel portrait of Hon.
Augustus Brandegee has been placed

"490—A meeting in memory of Henry
W. Sage was held at Cornell Univer-
sity on Tuesday, February 22. The
Outlook’ reports that the principal ad-
dress of the morning was delivered by
ex-Judge Francis M. Finch, and that
it might fitly be characterized as “a
poem in prose, for it had the musical
rhythm, the delicate imagination,
and the refined and pervasive feeling
which belongs to the highest poetry.”
”’50—President Martin Kellogg has
written as follows from the Univer-
sity of California to the Funk & Wag-
nalls Company of New York: “I am
in receipt of your request that I fur-
nish a list of students to whom you may
send the Voice free of charge. I de-
cline to be your agent in the matter.
My reason is not that I favor the
saloon, to which I am bitterly opposed.
As I have already written you, we
have a mile law, prohibiting the sale
of liquors (intoxicating) within a mile
of the University. We are very much
in favor of enforcing that law. The
citizens generally uphold it. At a late
students’ debate, the meeting pro-
nounced in favor of the law. Arrests
are just now being made by the au-
thorities. My reason is, that the Voice
has shown itself intemperate in its
campaign against Yale University. I
know the men of Yale, and the condi-
tions which prevail there. I say to
you in all seriousness that the violence’
of your attacks on Yale, and their
patent unreasonableness, make it im-
possible/for me to codperate in your
methods.” Oy

pointed.
At the Ninety-Five dinner held at

inst., it was voted that there be a Com-
mittee of three appointed for the pur-
pose of arranging periodical reunions
in New York.

A Warning to New York Ninety-
Seven Men.
Information has come to _ the
WEEKLY which it is only fair to print
in part for the benefit of the members
of Yale Ninety-Seven living in New
York.
A man, who formerly knew a large
number of the Class, through business
relations with them while they were in
New Haven, has of late, attempted to
secure money from a number of them |
living in New York. He uses various |
means.
Calling on the family of one |
of the Class, he represented himself as |
another member of the class, and tried |
to collect a debt which he alleged this |
man owed him. In another place, he
passed off as still a different member |
of the Class and secured a loan of $5.00 |
from the family. This may be enough
to put men on their guard.

movee to Hollis, N.. Hi to try the
