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. -

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.

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. A friend of the University
has already contributed $100 with which
to purchase some very necessary and
expensive books,
