work of Palmer, Walworth, Stoddard

seconds before the half ended. It was
agreed by both captains to play an addi-

game might not be a draw. The win-

QUAKER CITY GAME.
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.

FRENCH SUMMER SCHOOL.
Mr. C. U. 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

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.

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: . .’.

No Trainer Chosen.
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.

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.
