“English Etymology.”
“English Etymology” (D. C. Heath
& Co., Boston) is the joint work of
Prof. Frederick Kluge of the Univer-
sity of Baden, and Prof. Frederick
Lutz of Albion College, Mich. De-
signed to serve as an introduction to the
study of the historical grammar of Eng-
lish, it forms an excellent reference
book, and should attract students to
this interesting subject of the develop-
ment of the language. The words se-
lected are those most frequently occur-
ing in ordinary speech, and their history
is briefly traced through middle and old
English, and the various languages of
- Europe. The explanations are concise
and scholarly, and the book is well
adapted for even the advanced student
of linguistics.
‘The Essentials of Argumenta-
; tion.”
“The Essentials of Argumentation,” by
Professor Elias’ J. MacEwan (D. C.
Heath & Co.), has been before the
public for a few months, long enough
to prove its peculiar value. It is not
only excellently adapted to technical
training, but is of interest to the general -
reader. As to its value in educational
work, Professor Enoch Perrine of
>
Bucknell University writes as follows:
“It does well what no other book with
which I am acquainted attempts: it pre-
sents not only the logical side of Argu-
mentation—and they all do this more
or less successfully—but it also pre-
sents in full the rhetorical side—and this
is generally slighted. To make a good
‘brief’ is one thing, and to develop it
well is quite another thing. To do this
latter thing, Prof. MacEwan’s book is
the best help for both teacher and stu-
dent now before the public. It is al-
ready in use with us.”
The book has already attracted con-
siderable notice as of great service in
training men for the law and the
ministry.
The “Yale Battery.”
Light Battery A, First Artillery, Con-
necticut Volunteers, finished its recruit-
ing here on July 1, and is now drilling
hard at Niantic, with full ranks of 173
enlisted men. The high standard of the
command has been well maintained
in the new enlistments. One of the
last Yale men to apply for enlistment
was James F. Hooker, ’95.
The equipment for the Battery is now
well in hand and the organization is
probably better favored in the way of
guns, horses and other equipment than
any other battery, except the Astor,
outside of the Regular Army.
Lieutenant Weston, Yale ’98, has
been commanding the Battery the past
week in the absence of Captain Honce,
ble has been ill at his home in Bran-
ord. | ;
Private A. C. Ledyard, Yale ’98, who
was named by the President for a Sec-
ond Lieutenantcy, successfully passed
his examinations at New York last week
and is now awaiting orders.

Class Reports.
Mr. Wm. P. Bacon, Class Secretary
of Fifty-Eight, has done a great service
by preparing a treatise on Class Re-
ports, which ought to help in making
them in the future very much more
valuable. He prints a list of 234 class
reports in the Academical Department,
including all the biographies of eight
or more.pages isstied to 1808. He
urges all Secretaries, before compiling
a report, to carefully examine those that
have been issued, and he urges them to
exchange with all other secretaries. In
regard to a class secretaryship he has
this interesting paragraph:
“A class secretaryship is no sinecure,
but one finds himself in good company
when he recalls the names of Secretaries
Day and Murdock of 1797, and of
Fitch, Olmstead, Salisbury, Day, Kings-
ley, Thacher, Silliman and Hadley; of
Presidents Dwight and Gilman, and of
Newton and Wright. The value of
these records I think is underestimated.
Acceptable as they are to those for
whom they are printed, they will also
interest future biographers, since they
often furnish personal contributions to
the study of character and effort.”
