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.
FIGURES INCREASED.

from which to receive definite and final
report. Since making up the last re-
port, additional contributions have
