YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY CRUISER FUND SURPLUS. Final Action Concerning It Deferred —Amounts to $2,300. A meeting of the Yale Cruiser Fund Committee was held in Phelps Hall, New Haven, at two o’clock on the afternoon of May 31. It was voted to defer any consideration of a disposi- tion of the surplus funds in the hands of the Committee until some future meeting. It was felt that it would be much easier to find a good use for this money after the close of the war ot at least after it had progressed con- siderably farther. It was the sentiment and vote of the meeting that no final disposition of the funds should be made without consultation with those at interest. The Committee were unwill- ing to use the money for any purpose, however, worthy and however much in line with the idea of the original gift, without the consent of those who made the surplus possible. It was also voted, on the request of the Treasurer, to appoint Mr. Dwight H. Day, ’99, Chairman of the Com- mittee and Mr. Lewis S. Welch, ’89, representing the contributions received through the YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY, as a Committee to audit the Treasurer’s account. Messrs. Carter, ’79, Sawyer, 98, Day, ’99, and Welch, ’80, were appointed a committee to care for the surplus funds until such time as final action is taken by the Committee. It was decided to place these in care of a trust company. This Committee was also named as a Committee to designate the time for a further meeting of the general com- mittee for purpose of final action for disposition of ‘the surplus. It is thought that no final action will be taken before next Fall. Mr. Sawyer reported the funds at present as slightly over $8,300. All expense accounts are not yet in but the Treasurer estimates that the total cost of collection and all expenses of the Com- mittee will come inside of $300. The cost of the flags will not be over $475. The latter are being completed in New York. The guns will cost, with freight, about $5,200. It is still expected that the whole outlay will fall within $6,000. so that the surplus will amount to over $2,300. After the mass meeting on May 20, the resolutions, according to the order of the meeting, were telegraphed to President McKinley and to Secretary Long of the Navy. Lieut. Weston of the Connecticut Light Artillery, who was secretary of the meeting, received the following reply from Secretary Long :— SECRETARY LONG’S REPLY. Sir—Replying to your telegram of last night, transmitting the resolutions adopted by the graduates and students of Yale, I have to tender you the sin- cere thanks of the Government, and to accept the present offered, in the name of thes i: 7S: BS: Yale. The Yale is now scouting in the West Indies and it may be some time before an opportunity occurs to communicate with her. It is suggested, however, that these presents be placed in care of the Commandant, Navy Yard, Ports- mouth, Va., and the Department will issue orders to him to turn them over to the commanding officer of the Yale at the earliest opportunity. This sug- gestion is made, owing to the nature of the duty upon which the vessel 1s engaged, her stay in any one port not being more than a few hours, and in the opinion of the Department, this method seems to afford the likeliest means of placing the articles presented on board. Very respectfully, Joun D. LONG, Secretary. In accordance with this suggestion, Mr. John Addison Porter, ’79, has been asked by the Committee to take such steps as are necessary to put the articles in the boat—that is to present the flags and to put the plates on the guns.
