THE ~ CAMP FIRE,”
First of Yale Club Winter Entertain-
ments at Sherry’s.
What was undoubtedly one of the
most successful if not indeed the very
best of alumni entertainmenits ever given
in New York was the meeting and
reception,—or. “Camp Fire,’ as it was
called in the invitation,—held at
Sherry’s new building on Wednesday
evening last, in honor of the Yale men
who had served in the late war. While
the meeting was given.under the aus-
pices of the Yale Club and intended
primarily for its members, as the first
of the regular Winter “Club Nights,”
provision had been made for a crowd.
President Thomas Thacher of the
Yale Club called the meeting to order
with a speech, after which the room was
darkened and a series of splendid photo- |
graphs of army’ operations in Cuba,
Porto Rico and Tampa were shown
with a stereopticon, placed in the little
gallery ordinarily used by the musi-
cians. A few only of the pictures were
in colors, but one and all were vivid
and gave an idea of some of the diffi-
culties encountered by our soldiers.
Occasionally a picture of more especial
interest to Yale men would call out a
more than ordinary round of applause,
such as photographs of John Green-
way, 958.; E. O. Holter, ’94; Stowe
Phelps, ’90, and the “Yale Battery.”
At the conclusion of this stereopticon
lecture Mr. Thacher called upon Pro-
fessor.Arthur T. Hadley, ’76. ?
Professor Hadley paid a_ beautiful
tribute to the men of Yale who gave
their lives in the service of their country.
He began by quoting the only words
which he thought might be quoted here,
Lincoln’s words at Gettysburg—“It
is for us, the living, rather to be dedi-
_cated here to the unfinished work which
they, who fought here, have thus far
so nobly advanced. It is rather for us
to be here dedicated to the great task
remaining before us, that from these
honored dead we take increased devo-
tion to that cause for which they gave
the last full measure of devotion; that
we here highly resolve that these dead
shall not have died in vain; that this
nation, under God, shall have a new
birth of freedom, and that government
of the people, by the people, and for the
people shall not perish from the earth.”
“We must govern better at home, if
we would govern others,” said Prof.
Hadley, and the applause that followed
left no doubt as to the feeling of Yale
men in New York..
Professor Hadley, in speaking of the
little that was accomplished apparently,
by a death like that of G. M. Ives, ’06,
who came home to die of fever, said
that the greatest accomplishment is
born of apparent failure. No one could
tell, he said, that one single life is
wasted “while the blood of the martyrs
is the seed of the church.”
Mr. ,Thacher then called on Judge
Henry E. Howland, ’54, to give a short
outline of the part taken by the Uni-
versity in the several wars of our
country. It was no new thing, he said,
for Yale men to respond to their
country’s call. He recalled the Yale
heroes of the Revolution, Sherman,
Humphrey, Trumbull, Nathan Hale,
and others, and the noble response of
Yale men in the unpopular war of 1812,
and her devotion in the Civil war, in
- which 750 of-her sons bore arms, more
than any other University,—Harvard
not excepted. .-Then he spoke of the
men in the camp and in the field, the
former often calling for more courage
and manliness than the latter, and re-
ported a conversation he had-had with
the Colonel of the Rough Riders.
Theodore. Roosevelt, who had __— said:
“John: Greenway is my right bower,
and the best man in my regiment, and
‘Mr. Howland, you and I have scrapped
about athletics a good many times, but
I want to shake your hand and tell you
that you were right.”
Mr. Thacher then got up and told of
a committee organized in the Yale Club
which kept track of “good men looking
for work and good work looking for
men,” and said that any Yale man who
had lost his position by going to war
would have another found for him if
possible.
Sherry then served the supper, con-.
sisting of lobsters, ham and chicken,
ice cream, coffee, etc., and everybody
sat around the small tables and mixed
their victuals with song.

POSITIONS FOR YALE MEN,
The Yale Club Appoints a Committee
on Business Information.
To the Editor of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY:
Sir:—The following is a copy of a
resolution passed by the Council of the
Yale Club.on April 13th, 1898:
Resolved, That a Committee of three
members be appointed by the President,
to serve until further order, to be known
as the “Committee on Business Infor-
mation,” the duty of which shall be to
aid communication between Yale men
seeking employment and persons in
need of service, and to give information,
advice and assistance in reference to
business relations and opportunities.
The Committee shall give atténtion to
applications made to it, and collect in-
formation likely to be of use, and shall
keep for its own reference, but not for
general inspection, a register of names,
addresses and other matters, so as to
be able to refer to each other all such
persons as it deems likely to make
business arrangements together. Any
other methods to be adopted to carry
out the objects of the Committee shall
be subject to approval by the Council.”
By authority of the above resolution,
a Committee composed of Clarence H.
Kelsey, 778: Robert L. Luce, 89, and
J. G. Phelps Stokes, ’92S. was ap-
pointed. Mr. Kelsey is Chairman of
the Committee and Mr. Luce its Secre-
tary. The scope and purpose of the
Committee are set forth in the resolu-
tion. It is not the purpose of the Com-
mittee to assure positions to all Yale
men, but rather to afford facilities for
better communciation between Yale
men seeking employment and those
having employment to give.
The Committee is now prepared to re-
ceive applications for positions from
Yale men, and, of course, it is unneces-
sary to state that all communications re-
ceived by the Committee will be treated
as confidential; access to the books and
lists being confined to the Committee
alone.
We beg to suggest that those send-
ing their names to the Committee should
also send such references as they deem
proper, thus enabling the Committee to
better classify men in recommending
them for positions. 2 ,
All communications should be ad-
dressed either to the Secretary of the
Committee at 58 William street, New
York City, or to The Committee on
Business Information, Yale Club, 17
ees Square, North, New York
ity.
We beg to ask such Yale men as em-
ploy help to give the preference to Yale
men, and when in need of assistants,
communicate with The Committee on
Business Information.
Very truly yours,
CLARENCE H. Kersey, Chairman,
J. G. PHELPs STOKES,
RosBert L. Luce, Secretary,
Committee on Business Information.
