overwhelming sentiment of Yale grad-
uates and undergraduates, and the com-
mittee felt that Yale was particularly
fortunate in being able to secure the
guns for the cruiser. Subscriptions of
any amount are, of course, welcome,
but the original idea of practically limit-
ing the amount to a dollar from each,
must now be changed and everyone is
urgently requested to increase his gift,
if he has already made one, as far as he
feels it possible to do so, and those who
have not yet subscribed are urged to
make their checks as large as possible.
The Committee desire to express the
hope that the response to the plan that
has now definitely been formulated may
be as general and generous as was the
answer of Yale to the original proposi-
tion.
YALE IS ALL RIGHT.
The following appears in the New
Haven correspondence of the New
York Evening Post:
“The undergraduates have greeted with
a good deal of enthusiasm the renam-
ing of the steamer Paris, which is to
serve as a cruiser under the title Yale,
and subscription lists have been in cir-
culation to secure for her a gift. But
among the Faculty in general the new
name of the cruiser is disapproved, in
- view of the peaceful aims and methods
of an educational institution, and one
professor in. that connection suggests
the criticism that would follow should
England name a war-ship after one of
her great universities or schools. Op-
position to the war and severe criticism
of the policy and temper of Congress in
bringing it on, have hitherto been most
universal in the Yale Faculty.”
It is generally difficult to find any in-
accuracies in this careful and interest-
ing column, but it is certainly in order
to express the hope that what is said
about the Faculty in this paragraph is
very far from correct.
What pertinence, pray, has any refer-
ence to the “aims and methods of an
educational institution,” when a war is
on us, in which every member of the
Republic and every institution which is
in any way a part of this country, is
under bond to discharge the first and
fundamental duty of citizenship? Why
name a cruiser “New York’? Why
name a battleship “Massachusetts” or
“Towa”? Aren’t these the names of
political institutions which were founded
and which are carried on with the
prime purpose of insuring to their mem-
bers the highest blessings of civilization
and the constitutional rights of life and
liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
Why associate them with the horrors
of war? Is that what they were
founded for? Is that the controlling
genius of their methods of govern-
ment? Why link these political insti-
tutions, the Commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts and the State of New York,
with all the diabolical mechanism of
modern war? |
For no other reason of course, than
that they are integral parts of our
nation and every act which associates
them more closely with the general
welfare, of which the most important
part at such a time as this is the
general defense, binds them all the
more closely to the nation.
Is Yale not a part of the nation?
Do the University’s official documents
and oflicial spokesmen ever fail to em-
phasize that Yale draws her sons from
the widest limits of latitude and longi-
tude which this country affords? And
do we ever miss an opportunity to
glory in the spirit of Yale as exempli-
fying in the highest degree the native
spirit of our national institutions? Do
we ever deny the wisdom which makes
Yale University the creator of men of
action, who go. out into the world to
serve their day and generation under
the same controlling principles’ of
obedience to the general will and sacri-
fice for the general good which are the
principles of the Yale student life which
is exemplified on field and river?
We have no personal knowledge of
these grumblings and growlings among
the official family of Yale against the
high honor which the Government has
accorded to this institution and we shall
not listen for them. We refuse to be-
lieve that there is any considerable
evidence of such a remarkable spirit.
We cannot be persuaded that there is
any other idea in Yale to-day than the
controlling idea of national defense and
national unity, and the humane and
Christian motive of carrying this. great
country as speedily as possible through
the awful ordeal of war. To believe
that the educators of Yale are princi-
pally busy to-day with the discussion
of the relative and theoretical.methods
of Governmental policies, leading to the
Situation of the present hour, rather
than with the exigencies themselves of
the present crisis, is to do little less
than to insult them.
The spirit of Yale, as the students of
Yale have themselves drunk it in, is cer-
tainly not of this nature. Their in-
creasing and deepening interest in the
struggle, their’ numerous enlistments
and their quick grasp of any oppor-
tunity to show their endorsement of
their Government, as in their subscrip-
tions to the fund for the gift to the
Yale, are evidences that Yale is all
right.

UNDERGRADUATE LITERATURE.
In a speech at Orange, Prof. Phelps
laid in some interesting testimony in
regard to the interest in English by
Yale students, in the form of their con-
tributions to current literature. He
mentioned the contribution to the Ai-
lantic by Mr. Fisher, ’98. He referred
also to the story written by Mr. Emer-
son Taylor, Yale, ’95, and a member
of the Graduate School, in Harper’s last
Summer, and the story by Gouveneur
Morris, of the present Senior Class, in
the Century about the same time. Some
more work of this kind is also in evi-
dence. Mr. C. U. Clark, Post Grad-
uate, has an article in the April number
of the Forum, entitled “The Kalevala’”’
and in the same issue is another article
by another Yale graduate, Prof. C. B.
Bliss, ’90. It is now also reported
that Mr. Charles E. Merrill, Jr., of the
Senior class is editing a new work
which will be published in the near fu-
ture. These things are properly in
evidence and it is a pleasure to any man
whatever his opinions of the present
method of conducting the English De-
partment to observe these signs of the
genuine literary life here. It is an
unusual thing to see much activity
among undergraduates, and to find ar-
ticles in current magazines as worthy
of their place, as these have been.
