It was agreed by both captains to play an addi- tional five minutes in order that the game might not be a draw. The win- ning goal was shot by Campbell through Moore after an exciting struggle about the Yale goal. The teams lined up as follows: YALE. PosITION. PENNA.

In one of the most stubbornly con- tested games of the vear the Quaker City Hockey team beat the Yale team at the Ice Palace in Philadelphia on Wednesday night, Dec. 20. Yale was outplayed greatly in the first half and the struggle was principally near her goal, but through the fine work of Smith, who was tending that position, but one point was made, sixteen min- utes after the game began. Yale play improved a great decal in the second half, but their adversaries held them down to one score, made by Barnett. The Quakers added three more goals to their credit before the whistle sounded.

Clark at the University of Grenoble. A letter, from which is printed ex- tracts below, has been received by Mr. W. H. Bishop from Mr. Charles Upson Clark of Ninety-Seven, describing, in a way both interesting and likely to be useful to others. Mr. Clark’s pleasant experience at the Summer School of French at Grenoble. The ALUMNI WEEKLY republished, in the Spring, the article on the Vacation Schools for French in Europe to which reference is made. Mr. Clark, a student of excep- tional ability at Yale, was awarded the Scholarship in Classical studies, and is now in Rome ‘following the course in the School of Classical Studies, of which Prof. Tracy Peck of Yale is now the director. GRENOBLE, Sept. 25, 1808. “T owe a most delightful month to your recommendation of Grenoble. “T reached here just four weeks ago yesterday [i.e., Aug. 25]. It rained the next day; since then we have had un- interrupted fair weather, hot most of the time, but always tempered by a breeze. As my work-room has nearly ten feet of windows on both East and West sides, I have been exceedingly comfortable. The dust has not been particularly bothersome in the city, but of course there is plenty of it in the roads, outside. But all Europe seems to have suffered from a torrid spell as you have at home, and I have no com- plaint to make on the score of the weather... “The elaborate schedule of courses laid out in the prospectus was by no means adhered to. Only one session a day has been held, at 8 o’clock A. m.. But that is really enough, as the opportunities for work were plenty even with this sched- ule.. Twice a week came a session in conversation, composition, etc., for which every one was invited to write a theme, which was corrected and read aloud. by the instructor, M. Varenne, if good enough. His criticisms on pronunciation were exceedingly thor- ough and valuable. M. Reymond gave us a most interesting talk once a week on Italian art, illustrated by photographs in profusion. “This month there has been a very good course once or twice a week on French . grammar,. historically . con- sidered, by M. Galland; M. Jacquenot lectured on French literature, and M. Biichner, in August, had one exercise a week for the special benefit of the Germans. In the hot weather we have had, that gave us enough to do. M. de Beylie gave us a talk on Greno- ble’s charitable institutions, and the next day took a dozen of us around town in a stage, showing us through several of them. _“There have been this month some sixteen or seventeen students in pretty regular attendance. Of these nearly half were Italian (two co-eds); the rest Germans, except for three Americans. In August, an Englishman was also here. The Americans were two Har- vard men, one, of Chicago, a student of Political Economy, who has spent a year studying in Gremany, and will study in Paris this Winter; the other, of Phila- delphia, is a student of Romance Lan- guages, and will also study this Win- ter in Paris; and I came here rather than to Paris purely because of your Nation article; and the Englishman came here also on recommendation. So you see you are largely responsible for what has proved to all of us a most thoroughly enjoyable stay at Grenoble. “Perhaps the most potent factor in making our Grenoble experience here agreeable, is the remarkable advantages we have had in our pensions. There is a large French Protestant congre- gation here, you know; and _ several of the members take boarders. I board with a Mme. Balme, 6 Place de la Halle. She is one of the salt of the earth. I reached here with my stomach “fatigue,” as they say, and the pains she has taken to provide me with the best and most easily digestible food, and the care with which she looks out for C. —and me in ge1eral, leave me her debtor to an infinite extent. Any American student coming to the Summer School here may be sure of being able to cet board and lodging, at five or six francs a day. with these ladies or their friends, Then WY SOs oY and we all feel it is a remarkable privilege. “And then there are the mountains. As I walked by the Lycée this mornnig, and happened to look up at the forts across the river, I was struck again, as I have been a hundred times, with the beauty of Grenoble’s surroundings. The ease with which you can make such grand excursions as those to La Mure or the Grande Chartreuse, and the views which strike you from every direction as vou simply walk around the town, give you advantages which it must be hard to equal. I have now seen three of the beautifully-situated cities of Eu- rope—Salzburg, Innsbruck and Greno- ble; and I am glad I don’t have to ren- der any judgment on their respective claims. | “Personally, I feel as if I hadn’t done the opportunities here anythin~ like jus- tice. I reached here pretty well used up from unconscious over-exertion on my bicycle ride here from Munich. and I’ve been taking a vacation most of the time. But I leave Grenoble in first class physical trim, and with a multi- tude of pleasant recollections. I must again thank you for iecommending me here, and ask vou to send over as many American students as you can. They won’t regret it: especially if they are to spend some time in Europe. -If one has only a Summer, I think I should advise Paris, for the first term anvway, for the sake of the thousand advantages to be enjoyed there; but of course that de- pends on what one wants. If he wishes fine mountain air, glorious scenery, ex- cellent instruction and association with congenial French pcople, he can’t do better than come here, in my oninion— which is of value, however, only in so far as regards Grenoble, for I haven’t visited the other schools. “T set out to-morrow morning on the third installment of my bicycle ride to Rome. I carry more luggage than you would probably approve of—35 to 40 pounds, but it makes me absolutely in- dependent, and I can make a détour or change my route altogether just as cir- cumst..nces dictate. My wheel, a ’o8 chain Columbia, has not had, except (a puncture on the Stelvio Pass), one single mishap in over 2,000 miles. CHARLES Upson CLARK.” SOL ER eee NE GER ap ES The Accountability of Parents. [From an article hy 7.e Baron R. Briggs, Dean of Harvard College, in the January Atlantic.] To-the Dean of a large College, who i has most to do with students and their parents in all academic sorrows, it soon becomes clear that parents are account- able for more undergraduate shortcom- ings than they or their sons suspect,— and this after liberal allowance for faults in the College and its officers. “TI have spent an hour to-day with Jones’s father,” said a College president in a formidable “case of discipline.’ “TI have conceived a better opinion of the son after meeting the father,’—and the experience is repeated year by year. Five minutes, or two minutes, with a father or mother may reveal the chief secret of a young man’s failure or mis- conduct and may fill the heart of an administrative officer with infinite com- passion. “You say he gambles,” says a loud, swaggering father. ‘Well, what of it? Gentlemen always play cards.” “I told my boy,” says a father of a dif- ferent stamp, “that I did not myself be- lieve in [what is commonly called “vice” ]; but that if he went into that sort of thing, he must not go off with the crowd, but must do it quietly, in a gentlemanly way.” Hereditary and home influence less palpable but quite as pervasive and nearly as demoralizing is that of the trivally biographic mother, who, while a dozen men are waiting at the Dean’s office door, assures the Dean that her son, now on trial for his academic life, “was a lovely baby,” and who, so to speak, grows up with him then and there, tracking him step by step, with frequent countermarches, to his present station: . .’. tickled by the reminiscences of his own youth that are evoked when his son is caught stealing a poor shopkeeper’s sign; or of the father who suggests that the College should employ at his ex- pense a detective against his son; ... or of the father who at a crucial or of the father who is — Acapemic | ASTES Make New Haven’s standard in materials and styles of personal attire at least as high as that of any city in the country. We realized that when we came here. We have worked to meet and to anticipate the exact- ing demands. Yale men have generously responded to these efforts on our part. We reciprocate with still more zealous endeavor. Pee a CO NEW HAVEN HOUSE BLOCK- Henry Heath Hats. FRANK A.

The question of a trainer for Yale still remains unsettled and is likely to remain so for some time to come. George Foster Sanford, ’97 L.S., now in the Volunteer Army, was given a mod- erate offer to take charge of the Track team, but refused to accept it, as he had just been advanced from the position of second lieutenant to that of aide-de- camp on the staff of the General in command of the Division stationed at Somersville, S. He receives the rank and pav of a captain. Se Athletic Directors Meet. The annual meeting of the Society of College Gymnasium Directors was held at Columbia University Dec. 30. In his paper on “The College Athletic Trainer,” Dr. Jay Seaver attacked the present system of engaging trainers. He criticised the kind of men hired for training, and declared that a large num_- ber of men engaged in good colleges were unfit for such places. He cited specific instances where men who had few qualifications for the work had been hired, and he called for agitation of this matter. The paper on “Some Tangible Re- sults of Gymnastics,” by Dr. W. G. Anderson, was one of the most interest- ing papers read at the meeting. Fa Yale and Pennsylvania. In the Intercollegiate Hockey Asso- ciation schedule drawn up last week it is shown that Yale will meet Columbia at Brooklyn on Jan. 19 and Feb. 5: Brown University at the same place on Feb. 1 and March 3; University of Pennsylvania at West Park Ice Palace in Phila‘elphia on Jan. 27 and Feb. 18
