VALE ALUMNI WEEKLY — ls PROFESSOR RUSSELL HENRY CHITTENDEN. THE CRUISER SURPLUS. The Committee Desire to Use It for Some Sort of a Memorial. The Yale Cruiser Fund Committee, which gathered the money for the guns Handsome Dan and Eli, which were placed on the Cruiser Yale, and for the set of colors for that boat, held a meet- ing at half past ten on Saturday morn- ing, November 19, at 11 Phelps Hall. The meeting was called to consider the question of the disposition of the sur- plus funds. It will be remembered that the amount needed for the guns was con- siderably over-subscribed last Spring. The amount now in the hands of the Trustees appointed by the Committee is about $2,400. The Committee voted to use enough of this money to meet the bills incurred last Summer, after the Committee’s last meeting, for the care of the Yale Battery. The money was expended in a medicine chest, with sur- gical instruments and other sanitary appliances; also for such expenses in bringing the needs of the Battery be- fore the attention of the authorities at Washington. These needs were in the way of equipment and proper training, to place the men in condition for ser- vices when they should be needed. It was almost a constant work on the part of several alumni all Summer to supply the omissions. The moneys that were used for this were of course advanced by alumni, and at the meeting on Satur- day it was simply suggested it might be wise to reimburse those alumni, as the sum amounted to several hundred dol- lars and was in addition to subscrip- tions already made for the Cruiser Fund and work done in that connection, The matter was laid before the Committee, because, at its last meeting, it had especially inquired whether it was not possible to give some assistance to the Yale platoon. At that time, owing to insufficient information on the subject no opportunity was offered. It was. however, plainly the desire of the Com. mittee to use some of the money in this direction if it were possible. - Photograph by Pach.

It was also voted to save a sufficient sum to care for the guns that were on the Yale, should the Government decide to locate them in New Haven, pending any need of them in the future. Then it was voted that the chair ap- point a Committee of five, to audit the expenditures on behalf of the Yale Bat- tery and of the guns, and to take in charge the disposition of the surplus remaining after this was done. This Committee was given full power, sub- ject only to the condition that the money must be used for a memorial for Yale men who have died in the service of their country. The purpose is to commemorate those men who fell in the recent war. Should, however, a move- ment be inaugurated for a memorial for all of the men of Yale who have fallen in the country’s wars, the wish of the Committee is that the money be turned in to that purpose. This Committee will confer with representatives of those classes represented in the death list of the last war to the end of securing united action in the matter of a memo- tial. Some means will be taken by the Committee to learn whether any contrib- utors to the fund object to the plan of disposing of it The scheme, when dfinitely decided on, will probably be published. Mr. Dwight H. Day, the Chairman of the News, was Chairman of the meet- ing and Mr. H.'B. Wright, ’98, was Secretary. ————_}-—_____..

POYNETTE 7 €'2FRONT- HEIGHT-BACK2 Architectural Drawing. As announced in last year’s WEEKLY, a new elective course in Elementary Architectural Drawing has been offered in the Art School: this year. Twelve students elected the course this year, but owing to insufficient preparation six of them were advised not to take it up. At present the course is laid out for one year, and whether or not it will be laid out for two years is a matter which is yet to be decided. The course is more or less of an experiment, as the at- tempt is being made to build it up with- out any definite financial support, but owing to the great demand for this course Professor Niemeyer concluded that it should be undertaken at any rate, in the hope that money would soon be forthcoming to establish it as a regular and fully developed course in- Architecture.
