After the usual preliminaries, a commit-
tee was sent to escort Director Brush

graduation of the Class of Eighty-Eight,
and spoke feelingly of the patriotism of
the men of the present Senior class who -
had enlisted.
The following resolutions were then
adopted by the Class:
Whereas, This our Decennial Re-
union is rendered less comnlete by the
absence of our classmates R. H. Fran-
chot and Morgan Walcott, who have
volunteered in the military and naval
service of the United States, and
Whereas, Although we regret their
absence yet do we rather rejoice and
take pride that they have responded to
their country’s call, not only because
we are Americans, but also because as
sons of Yale we have been taught to
honor manliness and loyalty and to
place duty always first.
Therefore be it resolved, that we send
our warmest greetings to these, our ab-
sent classmates, and assure them that
we will follow their careers with anxious
and friendly eyes; and that we feel proud
of our Class that they are of us.
A committee to compile a decennial
record was appointed consisting of

i
Yale Mission To Buiid.
’ Subscriptions amounting to $4,875.00
have been made to the Yale Y. M. C.

The cost of the building will be
$8000.00, but it has been decided to go
ahead and put up the structure this
Summer. It will be placed in the
neighborhood of Grand:avenue, and will
simply be a home for the continua-
tion of the work of the Yale Mission,

don the lodging house department. It
will be simple in design. The ground
floor will be fitted for a Boys’ Club.
The first floor will be the meeting
room, with a coat room in the rear.
On the second floor will be the library
and Sunday School room, -and two
bed rooms for the people who care for
the hall.
It is expected that it will be com-
pleted about the middle of October.

SPEAKERS FROM CLASSES.
They Contrast the Old and the New
at the Alumni Meeting.
e
The annual alumni meeting was held
on Tuesday morning in Alumni Hall, a
comparatively small company being
present. Hon. Nathaniel Shipman, ’4o,
called the meeting to order at 10 o’clock
and invited the graduates of fifty years
or more to take seats on the platform.
Eleven white-haired men from the
Classes of Thirty-Eight and Forty-
Fight who were present in the room
accepted the invitation and took their
seats behind the Chairman. In a brief
address Judge Shipman spoke of the
value of character as exemplified in the
professors and instructors .of the past
and present, who worked often on a
meagre salary with their whole hearts
for the broadening and bettering of the
College. He spoke also of the great
work in the development of thorough-
ness that had been accomplished by the
Graduate Department. |
Mr. Samuel C. Perkins spoke for the
Class of Forty-Eight, which was back
for its half century reunion. He spoke
of the wonderful advancement made
along all lines, but while acknowledg-
ing its value paid a tribute to the drill
in Latin and Greek as taught in the
College in his own time as well as in
that of his father and grandfather, who
preceded him.
Responding for Ninety-Five, Roger S.
Baldwin spoke of the pride the members
of that class had in its prowess afloat
and afield. He felt that it was a class
superior to most classes and in that
connection told a good story to illus-
trate his view of it, something as fol-
lows: At a diplomatic dinner in Lon-
don, when Benjamin Franklin was the
U. S. consul there and at which Frank-
lin was a guest, the official representa-
tive of the Queen proposed the toast:
“To England, the sun that lights the
world!’ The representative of France,
not to be outdone, proposed as the toast
of his country: “The moon, that con-
trols the tides.” The assemblage was
at a loss to know what the representa-
tive of the United States would do,
having nothing at his command but
the lesser heavenly bodies. Franklin
was equal to the occasion, however,
lor “his: toast: was: “To the ‘United
States: The Joshua who commanded
the sun and the moon to stand still;
and they stood!” —
He concluded by saying that his class
would ever be found working for the
best interests of Yale.
Professor Edwin Alexander of the
University of North Carolina spoke for
the Class of Seventy-Three. He was in-
troduced by Judge Shipman as one of
the leading Greek scholars of the
period. Professor Alexander thought
that one of the chief things learned at
Yale was exact knowledge of facts.
He hoped that the good old spirit had
not changed with the changing form of
the Campus, but that it had grown and
magnified twenty-five times greater than
when his class graduated a quarter of
a century ago.
Rev. Leander P. Chamberlain spoke
for the Class of Sixty-Three and in the
course of his remarks eulogized his cur-
riculum of thirty-five years ago, which
required so much of Latin and Greek.
He made a plea for the systematizing
of athletics and for keeping them in
bounds. He thought the development
of personal ability and the practice of
political independence was a_ better
safety valve than sports, for the surplus
energy of the student.
NEW COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.
For the Class of Eighty-Three Horace
D. Taft spoke. He marvelled at the
growth Yale had made in all Depart-
ments in the past fifteen years and
pointed with pride to what had been
done in the much-abused English De-
partment. Mr. Taft modestly advised
the Faculty that instruction in the duties
of citizenship should be added to the
Yale curriculum, which should include
a careful study of bossism, the operation
of machines of both parties, and the
history of reforms and municipal ad-
ministration. The conclusion of Mr.
Taft’s speech was a tribute to the
patriotism of “the fiity who went and
the hundred who wanted to go.”
William A. Linn spoke for the Class
- Green,
of Sixty-Eight and Dr. Daniel G. Brin-
ton of Philadelphia for the Class of
Fifty-Eight. Hugh A. Bayne from
New Orleans, of the Class of Ninety-
Two, told how Yale was crowing in
favor in the South. “It was not ve ee
said he, “ten years ago.” At that time
the place was infected with a kind of
yellow fever—a yellow and black fever—
and all the boys were sent to Princeton.
We tried to get up a Yale association
but found there was no one to associate
with. So we took the matter in our
own hands and administered to the
populace a regular old blue pill which
fortunately effected a permanent cure.
Now for one boy who goes to the New
Jersey institution three go to Yale,
which is as it should be.”
Mr. Bayne was followed by Henry M.
Hoyt of the Class of Seventy-Eight,
who spoke of the needs of Yale.
Among the objects to be attained is
a University Hall” said he, “which must
Sy ready for the bi-centennial celebra-
ion. :
_ Rev. J. Franklin Carter of New Bed-
ford, Mass., spoke for the Class of
Eighty-Eight, and the meeting was
brought to a close by an admirable
speech by Hon. Theodore Bacon of
Rochester, N. Y. He spoke of Yale
and the good men that had come from
her halls, and said he believed they
would do credit to themselves and to
the College. He deplored the war, and
while he admired patriotism yet he
thought that the war that we were at
present engaged in was not a good
thing for the country, and a spirit that
would encourage war would in time
bring trouble and disaster upon the
nation.
Before the meeting broke up Judge
Shipman~ announced the Executive
Committee of the alumni for the next
year as follows:
President Dwight, Professors Day,
Fisher, Brush, Wheeler, Weir, Dexter,
