YATE “ALUMNI WHEKLY 5 University and Freshman Crews. The recent work of the University Crew has been handicapped consider- ably by unfavorable weather. For two weeks most of the practice has been confined to short stretches on the river, but on Monday the four-mile course from the lighthouse was rowed in only fair time. Greenleaf, ’99 S., returned to his place at 7 on Wednesday, May 11, after a two weeks absence, necessitated by an attack of water on the knee, and Niedecken, 1900, was moved back from 7 to 5, supplanting Cross, 1900. Since then the order of the crew has been: Stroke, Williams, 1900; 7,. Greenleaf, 99 S.; 6, Allen, 1900; 5, Niedecken, 1900; 4, Flint, ’99S.; 3, Brock, 1900; 2, Wickes, 1900; bow, Whitney, ’08. In addition to these men, Greenway, 1900, McGee, ’99S., Cross, 1900, sub- stitutes, and Greene, ’99, coxswain, are at the training table and have been measured for suits. : Mr. Willis, who is assisting Mr. Leh- mann in coaching the Harvard oars- men this season, watched the work of the eight from the launch on Friday, and on Monday, P. H. Bailey, ’97, cap- tain of last year’s Crew, was with Mr. Cook. The Freshman crew, after two weeks of rather indifferent work, have shown considerable improvement within the last few days. There is still, however, an apparent lack of snap in the work, probably due to the fact that the boat as now made up includes too many heavy men. The men on the second crew have been doing good work, and it is expected that some of them will be tried in -the first boat after the Spring Regatta. The two eights have met in a number of brushes on the harbor, with varying success. On Saturday a race was rowed over a mile and a half course, to determine which of the crews should represent the class in the Spring Regatta, and the first crew won by less than a length. The present order of the first boat is: Bow, Patterson, 1901; 2, Thomas, 1901; 3, Gillette, 1900 S.; 4, Stillman, 1901; 5, Mon- tague, 1900S.; 6, Brown, Igor; 7, Auchincloss, 1901; stroke, Keppleman, 1901. These men and Atkinson, 1901, ‘substitute, and Chittenden, 1901, cox- swain, are at the training table and have been measured for suits. a rs Publishers’ Notes on the War. One of the most convenient of the many forms of war maps is that issued by the Boston Herald. It is very clear and gives Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phillippine Islands in considerable de- tail. It can be secured by a request enclosing a two cent stamp for postage. Leslie's Weekly is, of course, paying special attention to the pictorial fea- tures of the present war and illustrat- ing it in the most interesting way. It makes the offer to send the Weekly to any address from now until the first of October for $1.00. This, the pub- lishers believe, will more than include the history of the war.

The past week has been spent by the Yale men of Battery A at Niantic in perfecting the drills, but as neither the horses nor sabres have arrived for them, complete work cannot be accom- plished. There is a report in camp that the Battery will be sent to Mobile, Ala., early next week, where it will be mustered into the United States army and receive its entire equipment. At the time of this writing there is no official confirmation of the report. Six more Yale men have volunteered to fill the places of dropped privates in platoons A and B of the Light Artillery. Their names are: A. M. Bell, J. L. Howard, R. Ayres, W. M. Murdock and W. H. Sykes, all of ’98 S., and L. deForest, ’96 S. There are now in service at camp 51 Yale men. hp dn Min LM ay KTS Captain James S. Pettit of the Ist Infantry, U. S.

It ought certainly to be ‘‘ the hard- est side” for faith when one is told that in this certain company, or in that certain scheme, each invested dollar will bring back ten, and ten per cent. interest. Yet financial fairy tales of this sort are marvelously successful, and weak human nature, with all reason blinded by that hint of fabulous profit, pins its faith on the impossible. In stable life insurance there 1s no fairy tale of any sort. Good life insur- ance leads one on by no rainbow span which promises pots of (unearned) gold, to be had for a walk across the meadow and up the hillside. It offers just, and needed, and durable results— results sure to be won by all who perform their share of the contract entered upon. It is the recognition of this fact that has won for life insurance the respect and admiration of the world. Argu- ment is no longer needed to support it. As Secretary Gage has said: “ All the sane man asks is, which is the best company?” This question, too, has been settled, for a generation of men have decided that the claim put for- ward by The Mutual Life of New York is legitimate: “The best company is the company that does the most good.” Here is a company that does all it promises—and more; a company that has passed through fifty-five years of business activity with an unblemished record and a world-wide reputation for justice and liberality.
