had something to say on the subject of Life Insurance which is
“A policy of Life Assurance is the cheapest and safest mode
of making a certain provision for one’s family. It is a strange
anomaly that men should be careful to insure their houses, their
furniture, their ships, and their merchandise, and yet neglect to
insure their lives, surely the most important of all to their families
and far more subject to loss.”
THE PRUDENTIAL
will gladly send full information to those who are interested in
this subject of Life Insurance, either as a means of protection for
the home, a medium for investment, or both. Write,

NOW THE MAN OF AFFAIRS.

which now attracts about one-third of
the graduates. It is noticeable that in
the case of the last eighty years covered
by the table the sum of the figures for
the ministry and of the one for business
in each five-year period fluctuates fairly
closely about 37 per cent., and that,
with very few exceptions, a rapid fall
in the figure for the ministry goes hand
in hand with a rapid rise in the figure
for business, and when the falling off
in the ministry is retarded, the same
is true of the rise of the figure for the
business men. It would not be safe to
conclude from this that the kind of men
who formerly became clergymen now go
into business, though this may be true
to some extent. In any case, it is clear
that the leadership which naturally falls
to the college graduate in this country
was formerly chiefly exerted from the
bar and the pulpit; that nowadays, how-
ever, the industrial leaders are also
largely recruited from among college
graduates; that the typical college grad-
uate of to-day is no longer the scholar,
but the man of affairs.

A NEW DEBATING SOCIETY,
Induced by the Success of the Sopho-
more Wigwam.
Another debating society has been
formed recently in the Sophomore class
similar to the Wigwam. Meetings will _
be held bi-weekly and the club will. be
divided into two parts. Each part will
have its leader, who will open the ques-
tion to be debated, the rest of his side
volunteering to speak when they wish.
The originators formed themselves into
a committee and selected a list of fifty
men from which list the following
thirty men were selected: A. Allen, C.
Allen, W. Allen, N. A. Baldwin, W. W.
Hoppin, Jr., J. H. Hord, B. P. Twichell,

The Chase Comet,
Dr. Frederick L. Chase of the Yale
Observatory has just completed another
computation of the orbit of the comet
which he recently discovered. This
computation is based on the positions
shown by two photographic plates and
by one observation. To be thoroughly
satisfactory the computation should rest
on at least three visual observations, or
three photographic observations. Both
this and the former Yale computation
differ considerably from the results of
the computation of the orbit at the
Lick Observatory. This last computa-
tion by Dr. Chase brings the comet to
perihelion on January 4, 1899. Accord-
ing to this, its nearest point to the earth
will be at a distance of about 135,000,000
miles, and it is improbable that it would
be visible to the naked eye.

Phi Beta Kappa Founding.
On Monday evening the one hundred
and twenty-second anniversary of the
founding of the Yale Chapter of Phi
Beta Kappa was celebrated in the So-
ciety’s room in White Hall. The meet-
ing was not, however, of a special anni-
versary character, except that President
A. B. Hall, ’99, spoke briefly of. the
founding of the Society and of the
records of the Yale Chapter which date
back to 1786. A number of these
records and papers connected with the
Society were brought over from the
Library, and were left in the Society’s
room for inspection.
The regular exercises of the evening
consisted of a paper by Sullivan D.
Ames, ’99, on “The Value of Travel.”
Hon. Simeon E. Baldwin, ’61, spoke
on the meeting of the united chapters
which was held in Saratoga last Sep-
tember.
