The Apollo Club.
The Apollo Glee and Banjo Clubs
have organized for 1808, and from the
interest already shown in the work of
the Clubs, the coming season promises
to be unusually successful. The adop-
tion last year of a distinct name and
Policy for the Clubs was followed by an
increased interest in the organizations,
and a much more spirted competition
for membership. The primary object
of the Apollo is to develop material for
the University Clubs, but as distinct
Organizations the Apollo Clubs have
come to occupy a very important posi-
tion in the undergraduate life. Keeping
in view the real purpose of the Club to
furnish men for the University Club,
the management of the Apollo Banjo
Club this year restricted the competi-
tion for membership to underclassmen.
The Clubs this year will be under the
management of T. S. Maffitt, ’99, as-
sistant manager of the University
Clubs. Leeds Mitchell, ’99 S., has been
appointed president of the Banjo Club,
and S. B. Sutphin, ’99 S., leader.

Club is as follows:

The Spirit of Yale and of
Harvard.
The April number of the Bookman
contains the following review of ‘‘Har-
vard Episodes’:
“From a social standpoint, Yale and
Harvard are the most interesting of all
our American universities; and, from
the same standpoint, they are thor-
oughly antipodal. Yale, which finds
its closest analogy in a great English
public school like Eton or Harrow, is
the personification of the democratic
spirit. A student entering there is
taken for what he actually is, and he is
not judged by any extraneous and non-
academic © considerations; such ‘as
money, or birth, or friends. He makes
his way to prominence by sheer force
of scholarship, or literary ability, or
athletic prowess, or personal popu-
larity. The class is the unit of the
whole system.
“Between the classes the lines are
drawn and a great gulf fixed. The
curriculum is conservative; the spirit
of the place is one of intense solidarity,
and it breeds a certain morgue that is
not displeasing. The students are not
very sophisticated, but they are ex-
tremely enthusiastic. They love their
College customs; they are proud of their
classes; they are frantically loyal to
Yale itself. They think nothing else
so great and glorious; and they have a
magnificently barbaric contempt for
anything outside of their own Univer-
sity. They are more boys than men,
and they are largely treated as such by
the authorities; yet it is all rather fine;
and the tone of the place, if youthful
and a little raw, is inspiring, wholesome, -
and thoroughly American.
“Harvard on the other hand, is
profoundly sophisticated. It is a place
where enthusiasms are discouraged,
where Good Form is supreme. Its
social distinctions are marked out and
maintained with the greatest rigor.
Its spirit is aristocratic and a trifle
supercilious. It is not merely a seat
of learning in the academic sense; but,
with a wider meaning, it is a place
where young men soon come to know
the subtle yet very patent disparities
that will confront them as soon as they
enter upon the larger life of the world
outside. Wealth does much; birth does
more; friends, or rather associations
and an indefinable something savoring
of caste, do more than all. These facts
have often led to considerable reproba-
tion. Harvard has been called snob-
Bish, yet tt is: hardly’ that 2". °° We
commend the whole of the first story
(“The Chance’) to those who wish to
get an accurate understanding of what
the Harvard spirit really is. This
spirit is, in its way, perhaps, as fine a
thing as Yale’s; but it is vastly different,
and a knowledge of it in advance might
oiten save the entering student from a
certain disillusionment and disappoint-
ment.”

is how best he can dispose of his wealth when
the time comes at last for it to pass out of
his hands. The world knows thousands of
men who have made fortunes only to lose
them. Not infrequently it talks of one who
made money and who conserved it well
during his lifetime, but who showed no
skill in disposing of it when he came to
leave it; one conspicuous case is enough
to mention: that of the late A. T. Stewart.
Guaranty Trust Co.
It is a fact not to be denied that the most
difficult problem confronting successful
financial life is what to do with money. Yet
with few exceptions everyone is certain that
it is a trick, not an art, and that he knows it |
perfectly. When a man is quietly modest
on the subject, when he moves with care
where money is to be invested, —there is
the man who, the chances are, is truly skilled
in the whole matter.
Equally true with this is one other fact
of such a man: he is invariably either an -
insurer of his life, or a firm advocate of life
insurance for the great multitude of human
beings who are fighting the battle of life.
He has come to know fully all the difficulties
that surround the getting, the saving, and
the placing of money, and is glad to lean,
