AS TO ENLISTED MEN. The Corporation took no formal ac- tion about enlisted students, this not being the meeting for presentation for degrees, but it was understood that the fact of men having already enlisted up to this time will not stand in the way of a degree. No Foundation in Fact. The story, recently published in some reliable newspapers, that Yale had been presented with the Hotel Majestic prop- erty to be used as a dormitory, under the name of Duncan Hall, was denied by President Dwight and Professor Dexter. They say there is absolutely no foundation in fact for such a report. ART SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT, . Academic Man Wins a Prize—Grad-_ uate Student Work. __ The Anniversary of the Art School took place on Wednesday, June st. The exhibits of the work of the stu-- dents was in some respects more inter-— esting than ever before in the history The Alice Kimball: of the School. English Prize of $50 was awarded to David DeForest Burrell, ’98, of the Elective Class from the Academical De- partment, this being the first instance of a prize being carried off by a mem- ber of that class. The Ethel Childe Walker Prize was awarded to Helen Elizabeth Booth. Other prizes were awarded for special merit in the various departments of in- struction. ; A most interesting feature of this Anniversary was a special exhibit of the work of graduate students of the School, some of whom have recently re- turned from a period of work in the ateliers of Paris, and who have been pursuing their work for the past year in New Haven. The Anniversary address in the even- ing, closing the School year, was given by Mr. Robert Swain Peabody, A.M., of the Boston firm of Peabody & Stearns, architects, the subject being “An Architect’s’ Talk About His Books.” fm ne Arrangements for Princeton Game. | The first game in the Yale-Princeton championship series will be played at the Yale Field on Saturday afternoon. Applications were received for 1500 seats and the remainder were put on public sale yesterday. The north foot- ball stand has been moved to the site of the burned grandstand, and will af- ford accommodations for 2500 people, in addition to the two side stands which have a seating capacity of 2600 each. All the seats are reserved and the price will be $1.00 each, irrespective of posi- tion. Standing room will sell for 50 cents. The management will allow no carriages inside the gates. The new double-track trolley line on Chapel street, first used for the Princeton foot- ball game last Fall, will afford excel- lent transportation facilities to the Field. Those. driving to the Field are requested to follow the prescribed car- riage route, out Chapel street and across West River through Central avenue, Perry street and Tryon street to Derby avenue. ——_++e—___—_ Date for the University Race. June 22 has been decided upon as the date of the Yale-Harvard-Cornell University boat race at New London. It was originally thought by the Cap- tains to hold the race on June 23 or 24, but the Yale-Harvard baseball game on the 23d and the,Harvard Class-Day exercises on the 24th, made further negotiations necessary. The 25th was not acceptable because of the Sheffield Scientific School Commence- ment on that day and Cornell was unwilling to row the following week on account of her race with Pennsyl- vania and Columbia, July 1, at Sara- toga Lake. Though undesirable for Yale and Harvard, it was. necessary to fix upon an earlier date. The Fresh- man race will be rowed on the follow- ing day. of over twenty points. PENNSYLVANIA WON, Yale Fourth at Mott Haven—Eight ‘Records Broken—Iideal Day and Large Crowd. “The University of Pennsylvania won for the second time the Intercollegiate Association Games at Berkeley Oval, on Friday and Saturday last, May 27 and 28, with a score of 5034, a margin Princeton quite unexpectedly took second place, through consistent team work, and Harvard crowded Yale back into fourth place by 3 points. Pennsylvania won by putting into the field a number of first point men and it was to this that her high score was due. Tewksbury, Hoffman and Kraenzlein of the Dental School, and McCracken of the Medical School, were by themselves able to discount the best team work any other college was capable of. Yale lost several good men this year in various ways, some at the very last minute. Besides the men who volun- teered in the United States army, in- cluding Waller, the high jumper, the team has been weakened by the loss of | Clifford Cheney, Yale’s best broad- jumper, and Byers, the sprinter, both of whom sprained tendons _ several weeks ago and had to quit work. The latter ran in the Harvard games and the Intercollegiates, but had no busi- ness to be on the track, as he was in poor condition. Fisher, who scored. for Yale in the quarter last year, was injured by a fall in the Harvard games and has not run since. These injuries may be traced to the great difficulty the men have had training on a track so heavy and rain-sodden that it was next to impossible to do anything on it. The strictest economy had to be practiced in money for the training table through lack of funds, only half of the usual number being taken to the table. No medals were given for the Spring games and no sweaters to the point-winners for the same _ reason, over a dozen of the competitors in last week’s Intercollegiate meet paying their own expenses. In the face of certain and overwhelming defeat Cap- tain Perkins and his men made a strong up-hill fight. The system of scoring recently adopted, of counting a fourth place as one point, worked very successfully. Points were counted as follows: First, = Veeco, 32> thita. co. rom tne ©. The day was an ideal one for the games, which were witnessed by 3,000 people. Following is a summary, and brief description of each event: HUNDRED-YARDS DASH. Final heat won by J. W. B. Tewks- bury, ’99 D., Pennsylvania; J. Harland Rush, ’98, Princeton, second; A. W. Robinson, 1901, Harvard, third; C. D. Whittemore, ’99, Syracuse, fourth. Time, 10 seconds. Intercollegiate rec- ord 94%, made by Wefers, Georgetown, -in 1896. Robinson, the Harvard Freshman, had the pole with Rush and Tewksbury on the outside and at the crack of the pistol jumped into the lead, which he held for about half the distance. Here he was overtaken and passed by both of his opponents, Tewksbury running in the lead by about a yard. In the last twenty-five yards, Rush showed a re- markable burst of speed, gaining inch by inch till at the tape he was beaten by the small margin of six inches. Robin- son was a good third.
