NEW HAVEN, CONN., JUNE 2, 1898. A DISTINCT GAIN. The Spring Regatta of last month will be remembered in Yale’s athletic history as a distinct advance of this branch of athletics, along its true line of development. To have fourteen crews, instead of four or five, on the water as in days not so long ago, is to increase more than by this propor- tion the effectiveness of this branch of athletics on the general life of the University. It has been ever urged against inter- collegiate athletics, that they develop the few and ignore the many. It has evidently come to be seen that, even with regard only to the results of inter- collegiate athletics, it is not safe to leave any ground for such criticism. With this development in rowing may also gratefully be recalled the large increase in the number of men in foot- ball uniform last Fall. For several years, base-ball has been played by a large number of both class and scrub nines. By all these things Yale is so much the better. As we prize this general develop- ment, let us not forget that Yale’s athletic resources are not such as to make it possible to carry this work on as far as the men here would like to. It was pointed out last year, when a large part of the Field was given up for a permanent gridiron and permanent stands, that this left the general exer- cise ground impaired, by preémpting a great deal of the developed ground. It was then remarked that, with five thousand dollars, a great tract of the Field could be put into condition for further gridirons and diamonds. This ought to be done, that the Field may do its part in helping out this most excellent development in Yale athletics, tl Gy din Boa FOR A PERMANENT FUND, The plan of the Yale Alumni Uni- versity Fund Association to try to secure contributions for a permanent fund has its very good points, and ought to invite many a dollar. It is especially hoped to secure money in this way from those in classes before 1863. In these classes no agents have - been appointed. If a good beginning is made the fund will doubtless attract additions. This is an excellent supplement to the work already undertaken by the Committee, and it will be a pleasure to hear of some good sums going that way. Large contributions and small contributions are invited by the Com-. mittee with equal earnestness. Mr. W. W. Farnam, Treasurer of the Uni- versity, is Treasurer of the fund. —__ > SATURDAY’S DEFEAT. Princeton, Harvard and Yale went down last Saturday before a team of extraordinarily brilliant performers from the University of Pennsylvania. There are no excuses to offer for the Yale team, which was so roundly beaten. They fought well with the odds of natural talent tremendously against them. Captain Perkins has even in defeat the respect and gratitude of the College for his work. ee ee The attention of Yale men is called to the fact of additional contributions from certain quarters, to the Yale Crui- ser Fund, despite the announcement of a full and overflowing treasury. The city of New Orleans has sent a very nice check, which makes its contribu- tion a very substantial one, giving a high. average per capita. Springfield, Ill. and Montreal, Canada, have also been added to the list. SENIOR ELECTIONS. [Continued from Ist page.] Phi Beta Kappa.
