COLLECTING THE MONEY.
Work in
Men Who Took Up the
Different Towns.
That Friday night’s meeting might
not be too long, several interesting
points about the work of collection
were omitted.
The coincidence of efforts in various
quarters by Yale men to do something
which was worthy of the University,
is interesting. At New Haven and
New York, among the undergraduates
and graduates, the idea seemed to
come at once into the minds of all that
substantial recognition should be given
to the honor done the University. The
proffer of a stand of colors by various
New York Alumni, acting through Mr.
Ernest Carter, ’79, was the first defi-
nite step, although that was not known
outside of their own number until after
the movement in New Haven had
originated. Here, Mr. Yandell Hen-
derson, ’95, acting on behalf of the
committee of a little club of graduate
students and recent instructors, came
to the News and suggested that some
formal action be taken. The first
object suggested for purchase was a
large banner. Following this sugges-
tion, and a conference with undergradu-
ates and’ graduates, Mr. Day, chairman
of the News, appointed representatives
from each of the classes and from each
department, in order to start the work
of subscription at once. This com-
mittee met the following day, and very
soon had added a number of graduates
to their list, and had instituted the work
with which the readers of the WEEKLY
are already familiar.
The fact should be borne in mind
that when this matter was suggested
to the News, its Chairman, Mr. Day,
and others, were already on their way
to Dean Wright, to consider the advis-
ability of a University meeting to
present resolutions of thanks. The
AtuMNI WEEKLY had also in the
meanwhile called for suggestions for
some suitable action.
The figures of the Treasurer’s report
show quite well what was done in
different parts of the country. It may
be of interest to know how this work
was carried out.
In New York City, where the
Alumni Association has gone through
so many changes recently, the work of
collection was taken charge of by a
special committee, whose names have
already been given in the WEEKLY,
Mr. Carter, ’79, was Chairman of that
committee. Before Mr. Carter and
the other members of the committee
began, Mr. Curtiss, ’79, had gathered
over a thousand dollars.
New Haven collections were princi-
pally in charge of Yandell Henderson,
’95; Prof. Farnam also collected quite
a large sum of money. ‘
The check from the Long Island
Association, including Brooklyn, was
received from Mr. Wyllys Terry, ’85.
Mr. Tuttle, ’87, the Secretary, had
laid the matter ‘before the Spring
meeting.
In Hartford, Conn., nearly all the
work of collection was performed by
R. W. Huntington, Jr., ’8o.
In Chicago, which came next in the
amount of its subscription, the officers
of the Alumni Association authorized
Mr. R. T. Crane, ’95, to send a circular
in their name to all the members,
requesting them to send their contribu-
tions direct to the office of the ALUMNI
WEEKLY. This step was taken rather
late, and the money was coming in
very fast when the announcement went
out that the fund was complete.
At San Francisco, the machinery of
collection from the Alumni of Cali-
fornia was set .in motion by Mr.
Edward L. Brayton, Secretary of the
Association, and Mr. N. W. Bell of
Los Angeles supplemented this work
by canvassing among the alumni of
Southern California. The San Fran-
cisco Alumni were asked for $75.00, and
the Alumni of Southern California were
asked for a like amount. Mr. Gordon
Blanding guaranteed by wire, at once,
the amount of money asked for from
the Alumni of San Francisco, and the
subscriptions to date, of California,
come to $220, in place of $150 asked
for.
At Boston, Mass., Mr. Philip B.
Stewart, ’86, the Secretary, managed
the entire work of collection.
From Pittsburg, Pa., Mr. S. W. B.
Moorhead, ’o1, handled the regular
canvass.
From Cincinnati, O., a check came
through Geo. H. Warrington, ’95, the
Secretary.
Mr. Edw. Brooks, Jr., ’90, of Phila-
delphia, Pa., took care of that field.
Scranton, Pa., was covered through
the efforts of Mr. J. Benjamin Dim-
mick, ’81, President of the Association.
Mr. A. S. Chisholm, ’93, covered the
Cleveland field for the Cruiser Fund
committee.
A check from the Essex County
Association of New Jersey, came from
Mr. Sanford E. Cobb, ’87, Treasurer.
The Colorado Alumni sent their
pledge, and money more than covering
the pledge, through Mr.
Isbell, ’88, President of the Association.
In Waterbury, Conn., two members
of the committee, Mr. Chas. F. Chapin,.
‘77, and Arthur Reed Kimball, ’77, did
the work, which was unusually effec-
tive. From the little bunch of Yale
graduates up there came down $93.
Sixteen alumni of Harrisburg, Pa.
sent in $76, the check being received
from Donald C. Haldeman, Treasurer
of the Association.
Mr. Howard ~ Fi:: Knapp, ‘82; “of
Bridgeport, and James S. Jenkins, ’94,
of Stamford, collected for
County.
As the contribution of Buffalo, N.
Y., a check-came from S,.M. Clement, —
82, the retiring President of the Asso-
ciation.
The work of collection at Washing-
ton, D. C., was supervised bv James H.
Hayden, ’875S., Secretary of the Asso-
ciation,
The work at Dayton, O., was done
by R. R. Dickey, ’88 S:, Secrétary.
At Louisville, Ky., collections were
made by Mr. Wm. Jarvis, ’85.
At Meriden, Conn., the work of
collection: was done by Mr. F. E.
Sands, ’85, a member of the Com-
mittee.
The Northwestern Association’s con-
tribution was sent from Minneapolis,
by Mr. C. S. Jelley, ’71, Secretary.
At Cambridge, Mass., Mr. Anson
Phelps Stokes, Jr.,-’96, a member of
the committee, and several other Yale
Alumni in that locality, succeeded in
getting a large number of small con-
tributions.
Mr. Frank M. Barber, ’90, a member
of the Committee, took care of Walling-
ford, Conn., and sent in an average of
five dollars each from the graduates in
that small town.
At: - Rochester; N: -Y.;° Mr. We S.
Roby, ’90S., supervised the work of
collection. |
At Portland, Oregon, the work was
done by Mr. R. L. Glisan, ’90; for the
Wyoming Valley Association, by Mr.
N. G. Pringle; ‘Judge E.: B.. Gager, a
member of the Committee, took super-

vision over Yale graduates in Derby;
and D. L. Vail operated in West
Winsted, Conn.; Judge J. G. Tod of
Houston, Texas, did work in that sec-
tion; Dr. F. A. Meacham, of Salt Lake
City, collected from the Alumni there.
The Baltimore report came in too
late for announcement at Friday night’s
meeting. The regular officers of the
Association were unable to give the
time necessary for collection, and Mr.
Norman James, ’90, passed the paper
there. He received generous response,
but was checked before he had com-
pleted his work, by the report from
New Haven that the fund was full and
overflowing.

No Break in the Line.
[N. G. Osborn, ’80, in New Haven Register.]
It was a different scene from that
enacted in this town and beneath the
elms of Yale thirty-five odd years ago,
when the call for troops divided the
students into hostile and warring
camps. The old New Haven railroad
station on Chapel Street was then filled
with splendid young fellows, who were
hurrying home to take their places in
the confederate ranks and to defend one
section of the country against another.
There were men present at the meeting
last evening, who must have recalled
that other picture with tears welling to
the heart, and with emotions which
were too sacred to parade upon such
an occasion. There was no break in
the line last evening. Young men
from the North and the South, the
East and the West, stood shoulder to
shoulder and sang, with a new meaning
and a deeper sense of national. obliga-
tion, “My Country, ’Tis. of Thee,” the
“Star Spangled Banner,’ and “For
God, for Country, and for Yale.” It
was a heart of stone that did not feel
the inspiration of the spectacle; a man
of iron who did not return to his study
and his home with a warmer love for
the flag of a united people.
It was after all the Yale way of
doing things. There was something to
be done, and Yale, without hesitation
as to the result, did it. This means
that there resides in the organization
and life of Yale a spirit which leaps
beyond the barrier of the study and the
class-room, and meets the spirit of our
free institutions. It is indeed a pre-
cious gift from the Gods, and it be-
comes the highest and most. sacred
duty of the President and Fellows of
Yale to preserve it in its purity and
strength. Let Yale develop to the
utmost, but without sacrifice of its
democratic spirit of enthusiastic com-
radeship and national affiliation.

The Yale Volunteers,
[Journal and Courier.]
The real “Yale spirit” struck right
out yesterday morning when the Yale
volunteers for the light battery an-
swered the roll-call in the armory and
left the city to go into camp at Niantic.
There are those in the colleges and out
who are thinking and saying that fine
young men who are being educated
can “do better” than to go to war, and
they cheerfully imply that it is well
enough to let other young men who are
not so fine and not so educated do the
hard work of fighting for the country.
The Yale volunteers do not agree with
such thinkers and sayers. ‘Their pa-
triotic impulse has swept away all sel-
fish thought of their. “bright prospects”
and their ‘opportunities.’ They have
forgotten that if they should stay at
home and attend to business they might,
by proper maneuvering, become con-
gressmen, senators, bishops, professors,
judges and other big things. They
have thrown trimming prudence to the
winds and have declared by their action
their overwhelming love for their coun-
try and their willingness to freely give
all they have and all they are for it.
Foolish boys, say some of the calm
thinkers who are coolly and cautiously
trying to balance themselves and things
in these unusual and exciting times.
Noble boys, say those who are still ca-
pable of being thrilled by unselfish pa-
triotism and who do not value matter
above spirit. God’s blessing on the
Yale volunteers. They are fine young
men indeed, and they are right in line
with the highest spirit and the grandest
record of their nourishing mother.

About Baseball Seats,
In the notice to WEEKLY subscribers
in the last issue, about obtaining seats
for the baseball game with Princeton at
the Field on June 4th, no mention was
made of any reserved section. As a
~matter of fact, the football stands which
are to be used are all numbered, and
tickets are issued accordingly. Thus
the entire seating is reserved.
