WAR FEELING AT HARVARD.
Prominent Athletes Among Those
Connected With Companies.
[Correspondence of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY ]
Cambridge, April 25—The Univer-
sity began the final term of the year
today, after the week of recess. The
return of the students finds the open-
ing of the war interfering with the Col-
lege attendance, as well as with the
athletic interests. A large number of
students are members of military or-
ganizations and others have joined
a company which has been formed
among the undergraduates, or are
drilling in unorganized squads. The
fever for war seems to spread rapidly
and students. are talking of enlist-
ing who could not possibly pass the
physical examination required for army
service. |
A few students who belong to the
Naval Militia have already been called
into active service, while a much larger
number will leave their work as soon
as the Massachusetts infantry are
called upon. The First Corps. of
Cadets includes about twenty Harvard
students and many graduates. Battery
A of the First Artillery has a large
representation of Harvard men and
Battery C also numbers Harvard un-
dergraduates on its roll. Besides those
who are members of Massachusetts
companies, there are many who are
enrolled among the militia of other
States, and some of these have not re-
turned to the University.
As is natural, there is a large per-
‘centage of athletes among the mem-
bers of the military companies and there
will be vacancies hard to fill in the vari-
ous teams. A majority of last year’s
Football Eleven are either in the Naval
Militia or members of the Harvard
company. Six of the oarsmen are mem-
bers of the Harvard company and the
track team is also represented. The
Captains of the Crew, Football and
Baseball teams are in the number and
there are two ex-Captains on the list.
Two of the pitchers on the Ball Nine
are included.
Captain Rand of the Baseball Team is
at the head of the company. Among the
Harvard men in Battery A, which will
be one of the first artillery companies to
be called upon, is D. Grant, who is the
main stay of the Track Team in the
long distance runs.
It is reported that all students in the
Senior class, who have a standing at
the present time which, if maintained,
would entitled them to a degree, will be
given their degrees in course, if they
leave before graduation to serve in the
war.
No formal action has yet been taken
to recognize the honor conferred upon
the University by naming one of the
United States ships “Harvard.”

Buffalo Wale-Harvard Dinner.
The Yale and Harvard Alumni Asso-
ciations of Buffalo held a joint dinner
at the Ellicott Club on Saturday even-
ing, April 16th. It is the first time the
two Associations joined in an entertain-
ment, and it proved a very memorable
occasion. The large dining room of
the Club was decorated with blue and
crimson bunting, and on each side of
the hall were large flags and shields
representing the two Colleges. ,
Mr. George Garham, the President of
the Harvard Association, proposed a
toast to President McKinley, which was
responded to with great enthusiasm.
He then introduced as Harvard’s Toast-
master; Mr..H. P.. Bissell.

tion; ::Mr..-S.. M..- Glement, ’81;.,1ntro-

Association Mr. Bissell presented a
handsome glass loving-cup to the Yale
Alumni Association, and Mr. Veile
presented a similar cup to the Harvard
Association, bearing their shield and
the words of their cheer.
Mr. Viele then introduced Messrs.
Wright, of Rochester N. Y.; David
Grey and H. A. Bull of Buffalo, to
speak for the Harvard men, and Messrs.

and--Rev.- G. BB Richards, *88 $;,-for
Yale, were presented by the Harvard
Toastmaster, Mr. Bissell.

and referred principally to the pleasant
relations which have recently been re-
newed between the two Colleges.

Harvard men were present.
