The Yale Alumni Association of
Long Island held its annual Fall meet-
ing at the Brooklyn Club on November
1oth. The attractiveness of the pro-
gram brought out an unusually large
and enthusiastic attendance. Prof. Wm.
L. Phelps discussed the work and
methods of the English Department of
Yale University, presenting proof of
its growth and development, and show-
ing his hearers the conviction that
many and varied advantages are offered
the student of English at Yale. Dur-
ing the later exercises in the grill room,
Mr. Edw. N. Loomis, ’91, of Troop
C, spoke of the troop’s operations in
Porto Rico.
Mr. Loomis so cleverly alternated
humor with a description of the seamy
side of a soldier’s life that he carried
the absolute attention of his listeners
all the way from Camp Black to Coamo,
and the alumni were as sorry as Troop
C at Porto Rico over the sudden cessa-
tion of hostilities, which brought Mr.
Loomis’s remarks to a close.
Mr. Yandell Henderson, ’95 followed
with an interesting account of the cruise
of U. S. S. Yale, both as transport and
prize winner. During his story Mr.
Henderson ventured the remark that at
no other time in his life had Handsome
Dan barked so lucratively as when the
$150,000 Spanish prize ship Rita
rounded to, in answer to his summons.
As Mr. Burr expressed it, the digres-
sion from cannon ball to football was
easy and Mr. Harry Beecher, ’88, was
called upon to discuss the “Probabili-
ties of Nov. 12th.” With the prophetic
power of a seer who admits no ele-
ment of doubt in his predictions, he
foretold the exact score of Yale’s
victory over Princeton, which confi-
dence was entirely worthy a former
Yale captain and born of his un-
shaken belief in the prowess of every
Yale eleven. Before calling upon Mr.
Beecher, the president of the Associa-
tion, Mr. Jos. A. Burr said that he
was generally averse to reading anony-
mous communications, but that he had
found upon his desk an anonymous
manuscript which he would take the
liberty of presenting.
This was the manuscript:
THE “ANONYMOUS MANUSCRIPT.”
In the Spring a young man’s fancy
Lightly turns to thoughts of love.
In the Fall he asks the question,—
How doth Yale the pig-skin shove?
Is the blue line firm as granite?
And the backs do they gain ground?
Is the interference ready
When the ends they’re running ’round?
Can Yale meet the crimson onslaughts
Break up holes in Harvard’s line?
Is the Tiger Eleven “easy”
As the black and yellow Nine?
From New Haven comes the answer,—
City of the Elm tree fair—
And except in hearts of Yale men
’Twould awaken grim despair.
Listen to the mournful tidings,
Listen to the sad report,
Yale has naught but helpless cripples,
Crutches are her chief support.
Ankles sprained and knee-caps twisted,
Tonsilitis and sick gowns—
Till the Doctors have insisted
Downy beds succeed four downs.
Chamberlin must feed on gruel,
And deSaulles can’t stand alone; _
Dudley’s suffering from consumption
And McBride has broken down. |
Marvin’s blind and Wear is worn out,
And the ends are rather Coy;
Corwin’s ceased to be a winner,
Old man Allen’s but a boy.
Benjamin can jam no longer,
Hubbell’s laid out stiff and cold;
“Cutten” prayers, not “Cutten” muscles
Seems the center’s strongest hold.
But methinks my memory tells me
I have heard such things before,
And in bygone days I’ve listened
To all this and something more;
But when dawned the day of struggle,
When the crimson faced the blue,
Lo! a miracle of healing,
Lo! the weak their strength renew.
Cripples throw away their crutches,
Invalids forget they’re sick;
And Yale grit and sand together
Spoil the neatest Princeton trick.
So this greeting to our Eleven,
We to-night beg leave to send,
Take a brace and get together
Fight for Yale until the end.
Difficulties fire her ardor,
She forgets what ’tis to fail,
Craven is a word that’s never
Taught by any one at Yale.
Out of darkness -comes the sunlight,
After night comes glorious day;
And intensified the brightness,
When the clouds have rolled away.
When the Princeton tigers face you,
Show that Yale men know no “can’t,”
Though the Rev. Mr. Cutten
Stands for the Church militant.
And when later Harvard lines up,—
Harvard fair though somewhat frail,—
Once again teach her the lesson
What it is to meet old Yale.
Buck her line, break its foundation,
Pound it till the latest down,
Thus when Yale her forces Marshall,
She will do the Crimson Brown.
Mr. Burr was voted the poet laureate
of the Brooklyn alumni.

Obituary.
CHARLES H. CLARK, EX-’62.

Seminary, and entered Yale in the Class
of Sixty-Two, but was compelled to
leave during his Freshman year on

gaged in the tobacco business at Suf-
field, Conn., and remained in that occu-
pation until 1877, when he took up the
study of Law. Three years later he was
admitted to the Hartford County Bar,
and continued to practice his profession
at Hartford until his death, at one time
holding the office of County Prosecut-
ing Agent.
Mr. Clark was married in 1889 to

the late H. Croswell Tuttle, he opened
a law office at No. 30 and 32 Park Place,
New York City, but in the latter part
of 1877, he was stricken with a severe
illness which affected his head and made
the continuance of his professional
work impossible. He then went abroad
and remained there for two and a half
years. Since his return to this country
in 1880, he has lived much in New
Haven, attending to his father’s estate
and the management of his property,
