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,

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.
