He has liberal views of life—good, broad, free ideas of hospitality and self-development that do credit to his heart and to his tastes. He needs to keep himself well in check, if he would “be duly prudent and guard well the future for himself and for others. One of the best ways is to mark off on the Calendar days for the payment of moderate premiums on insurance policies, IT CAN SHOW $1,279 OF ASSETS. which afford investment as well as insurance. ee & The PRUDENTIAL) & co offers some very attractive forms for such policies.

NEWARK, N. |. “SECTIONAL SARCASM.” A Rebuke for the Writer of ‘** Yale and the War.’ To the Editor of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY: Sir: A Yale man, whose birth-place and home are at the Southern end of the United States, has read the last two paragraphs of “W. A.’s communication to the WEEKLY of: May 12th, under the title “Yale and the War,” with inex- pressible sadness. This Southerner belongs to a small club, to which he usually takes the WEEKLY, after reading it; but, when he read “W. A.’s” communication, he deemed it better to conceal the number which contained it, lest his Southern friends,... reading .it.in,..a, Yale. . paper, might be led to belteve that: ““W. A.’s” bitter sentiments. were representative of the Yale which this. Southern -alumnus - has endeavored to teach his Southern friends to love. and. réverence, as he loves and reverences her. In the midst of feelings of spontan- eous and blood-warming patriotism, the writer's heart is filled with sadness by being thus reminded that there exists, at this time, an American—especially a Yale man—whose nationalism is so Professional Schools.

Opens - October 5, 1808. For particulars address the Acting Dean, SAMUEL C. BENNETT, much restricted that he, even while his country stands united in the face of a foreign foe, endeavors to draw the at- tention of the ranks to words of sarcasm calculated to embitter the heart of many a fellow countryman. Is this the time for a lover of a united country to pub- lish abroad: a letter sarcastically com- paring to Spanish atrocities the tradi- tions, and to Spanish corruptionists the venerated hero of a large section of his country? “Does. he expect thereby to aid in solidifying the union of the sections? If he believes, as we of the South believe, that this is the-time for Americans, North, South, East and West, to stand side by side and present a united front to the alien foe, then why does he of the North suggest to’ us of the South, in sarcastic language, that as long as any American respects the motives which prompted our sires to fight, and-éeven to die, as long-as any American shows reverence for the goodness and admires the greatness of the general who led our. sires in battle, so long must the “patriotism” of that American be .regarded with suspicion? Is “patriotism” a sentiment so. nar- row? Is not he who endeavors to cement the sections of his country in a genuine enthusiasm. for her -great des- tinies more patriotic than he who en- deavors to impose as a test of patriot- ism a bitter condemnation of the tradi- tions and dead heroes of a large sec- tion of his country? | Yale men. whose fathers were slave- holders love their country as truly as the sons of men who lived in free States. The Yale men, North and South, who planted against Yale’s stately walls the memorial ivy from the tomb of Lee, were striving to cement the true union with a patriotic love more genuine and spantaneous than the patriotism of “W. A.,” who, at a time when the voice of the whole country is raised in a noble anthem, a spontaneous burst of national harmony, breaks in upon the beautiful accord with a false note of bitter sec- tional sarcasm.
