UNION SQUARE NEW YORK A Magnificent Home. The University Club of New York will probably move into its new house corner of Fifty-fourth street and Fifth avenue some time about the last of next March. The building which is being rapidly pushed to completion will cost when finished in the neighborhood of $600,000. Its site was acquired at some- thing over $800,000.The general style of the structure, which is divided into three main stories, each story being sub-divided, will be Italian Renaissance, and the exterior will be build of pink Milford granite. On the main floor are the lounging room, offices and great hall, while the second floor contains the library, writing rooms, pipe rooms and bachelor apartments. On the third floor the great dining room, council, room and kitchens are situated. Above all is a roof-garden. In the basement is located a swimming pool and Turk- ish bath, bowling alleys and bicycle storeroom. In a word, the building from top to bottom will be as complete and handsome a house as money and modern ingenuity can make it. The medallions of the colleges, which are reproduced on the walls of the library and reading rooms, are used as the starting point for appropriate designs in clay modelling, the whole producing a picturesque and artistic effect. —_——_~+0o—__—__ The Yale Banner. The Yale Banner was put on sale to- day. It is bound in light green buck- ram, with an original design in blue and gold. The paper is heavier, and the press work of a better quality than for some years. The frontispiece is an excellent reproduction of a photograph of the Cruiser “Yale,” made especially for the Banner. The headings of the different departments are by D. D. Burrell, ’98, and are seven in number, representing the College, the Sheffield Scientific School, and the Graduate Schools of the University. Among the new full page half-tones are two views of the Campus, the Zeta Psi house, the Colony, this year’s Glee, Banjo and Mandolin Clubs, the Golf Team, the Financial Union, and the University Football Team and Squad. The small cuts in the Banner are entirely new. These are also full page cuts of the De- bating Team, the winners of the Prince- ton debate the customary groups of the Editorial Boards of the University publications and of all the University and Freshman athletic teams. The usual space is devoted to societies, eat- ing clubs, miscellaneous organizations, and the directory. wy wor Dining the Harvard Eleven. Harvard’s great Football Eleven of 18908 is still being dined by enthusiastic graduates. On Saturday, Dec. 3d, the Athletic Association of Harvard Grad- uates tendered the team a banquet at the American House in Boston, at which 400 guests were present, among them being Governor Wolcott -of Massachusetts, Governor-elect Theo- dore Roosevelt and Professor Hollis, Chairman of the Harvard Athletic Committee. J. H. Sars, ’89, acted as toastmaster. Both Governor Wolcott and Colonel Roosevelt dwelt on the fact that it was “a great year for Har- vard,” and that the team deserved especial credit for winning from oppo- nents, as Governor Wolcott put it—“re- inforced with the prestige of continued victory.” Colonel Roosevelt spoke of the notable work college men had done in the war and laid stress on the great assistance John G. Greenway, ’955S., had been to ‘him in the Cuban cam- paign. During the course of the dinner congratulatory telegrams were received from all parts of the country. A week after the Boston dinner or on Dec. 10th the Eleven were the guests of honor at a dinner given at Delmonico’s by the Harvard Club of New York. Over 700 guests were present and the affair was an entire success. The house was beautifully decorated with Harvard flags and colors. th Li —_— 7. Yale Gymnasts. On Wednesday evening, December 7th, the Yale Gymnastic Association - held its twelth annual contest in the University Gymnasium. The galleries were comfortably filled and the contests, supplemented by a well rendered musi- cal program, proved very interesting. The exhibition was fully up to the standard of those held in previous years, with the exceptions of the boxing con- test and back tumbling, of which there was little. The other contests were good and showed that the talent in Col- lege in this line of work is of.a high order. The University “Y” will be given to that member of the Gymnas- tic team who received the highest total of points scored in this contest and in the ‘one held later in the year. The judges of the exhibition were Mr. John E. Heaton, Mr. Robert Horn and Mr. Ernest Weincle. The eight con- testants who took part in the exhibi- tion were: R. G. Clapp, ’99S., who is Captain of the team, E. L. Eliason, 1901; W.-L. Otis, 1900; G. H. Whip- ple;., 1600; B=. Wilsotl. 196%: 3 T1a.P. Shaw, toor; A. H. Terry, P. G., and L. H. Schutte, ’o9.
