this will be the last New York dinner.
prior to the Triennial next June, all
members of the Class are earnestly
urged to make every effort to be pres-
ent.
Owing to the incomplete state of the
present list of addresses, it is probable
that many men living in New York and
vicinity will fail to receive their in-
vitations. | On this account everyone
reading this notice is requested to do
his best to make the dinner a largely
attended and successful affair.
The cost of the dinner will be two
dollars a cover, and men are reminded
that all members of Ninety-Six are in-
vited to attend without regard as to
whether or not they are members of
the Club. Those who intend to be
present should communicate as soon as
possible with M. D. McKee, 17 East
26th street, New York.
Essex County Association.
The . Essex Coguty, (N' ) 7 Yate
Alumni Association will hold its an-

Music Hall Building, Orange, N. J.,
on Friday, May 20, at 8 p. m. At that
time plans for the annual dinner are to
be perfected and other important busi-
ness will come before the meeting. It
is hoped that all the members who see
this notice may be present.
The Association now has nearly 160
names on its role and desires to add
the names of any Yale men who have

in that vicinity.

Obituary.
JAMES HERVEY SANFORD, 731.
James Hervey Sanford, ’31, died at
his home in New York City on Mon-
day night, Dec. 26, 1808.
Mr. Sanford was born eighty-seven
years ago in New Haven, Conn., and
was graduated from Yale in 1831. He
studied law and was admitted to the
bar, but after practising for some time
gave up the law to manage a large
tract of land in Peoria, owned by his
father, At the end of a few years Mr.
Sanford came to New York and became
amember of the firm of Hallock, But-
le & Hale, proprietors of the Journal
of Commerce. In consequence of a dis-
agreement with Mr. Hallock on the
subject to slavery, he retired from the
frm in 1857, and then took charge of
the Buffalo Courier. He remained in
Buffalo for five years and then sold
the Courier. Since then, with the ex-
ception of extended travels in Europe,
he had lived a quiet, studious life in New
York City. His death was the result
of an acute attack of grip. He leaves
a widow and one daughter.
DR. DANIEL LUCIUS ADAMS, ’35.
Dr. Daniel Lucius Adams died at his
home in New Haven on Jan. 3. |
Dr. Adams was born at Mt. Vernon,
N. H., Nov. 1, 1814. He-was fitted for
College at Mt. Pleasant Classical In-
stitute and entered Ambherst in 1831,
but after staying there two years was
admitted to Yale in 1833 and graduated
with the Class of Thirty-Five. © After
graduation from the Harvard Medical
School in 1838 he entered upon the
as of his profession in New York
ity.
He was exceedingly fond of music
and was fortunate in knowing per-
sonally many of the most prominent
musicians who came to New York dur-
ing this period. He also took the keen-
est pleasure in athletic sports, and soon
after coming to New York became one
of the earliest members of the Knicker-
bocker Baseball Club, the first organi-
zation of its kind in existence. He be-
came president of the club and took
the most active interest in its welfare
and the development of the game, even
giving his personal attention to mak-
ing bats and balls, articles then. un-
known to the manufacturer, and re-
taining his position as an authority on
all matters pertaining to the sport un-
til he left New York. — :
In 1861 Dr. Adams married Cornelia
A. Cook, of New York, and four years
later retired from the practice of medi-.
cine and removed to Ridgefield, Conn.
Here he found leisure to identify him-
self closely with public improvements
and the welfare of the town, which he
represented several times in the legis-
lative assembly. In 1888 he removed
to New Haven, where he lived very
quietly and contentedly during the re-
mainder of his life: He is survived by
his wife and four children.
REV. B. F. BARKER, ’56.
News has just been received of. the
death of Rev. B. F. Barker, *56, on
Octi.3%, at. East Onondaga, N.Y.
After graduation he was Principal of
the Onondaga Valley Academy for one
year. He then devoted himself to the
study of Theology for two years and
commenced service as
preacher at Georgetown, N. Y., in 1859.
He ministered to various churches to
which he was assigned in the Oneida
and Oswego conferences till 1877. He
was then appointed Presiding Elder of
the Oswego Conference and served in
that capacity for six years, spending
one year in travel in Europe. In 1883
he returned to his farm in East Onon-
daga, where he has since resided. He
died suddenly of neuralgia of the heart.
He was the oldest surviving member of
his Class, being nearly seventy years
of age. A wife and four children sur-
vive him.

defended at any cost, but that it shall

THE PLACE OF THE BOAT RACE.
It is hard to see why there should
be discussion about the place of the
next boat race. There is no dispute as
to the advantages of New London for
either Yale or Harvard. It is a long
way for Cornell to come, and that Uni-
versity may decide that the matter of
great distance or the inability to ar-
range her other contests on the Thames,
offsets the advantages of the place.
We sincerely hope she will not reach
that decision, for a race between Har-
vard, Cornell and Yale at New Lon-
don is very much to be desired. But
we must not forget what a boat race
and all college athletics are for. In
the light of their rational ends Yale can
hardly choose to race at any other
place than New London. This is
written without any particular informa-
tion about the purposes of the Navy,
but as an expression of what we believe
to be the sentiment of the very great
majority of Yale men. The mstter is
discussed by a Yale graduate elsewhere
in this issue.

Lectures on Literature.
Professor A. S. Cook of the English
Department has recently arranged a
course of lectures on the general sub-
ject of literature, to be given by Pro-
fessors of the University. The opening
lecture was announced for Wednesday
of this week, and the others are to fol-
low on successive Wednesdays until
February 15th. The lectures will be
delivered in the south gallery of the
Yale Art School at.8.22 4% and. are
open to the University. The aim of the
course is to discuss the more important
phases of literature considered as art,
and especially its chief species, the
drama, the epic and the novel, as they
have manifested themselves in different
ages and countries.
The course will be continued, it is
hoped, this or another year; by other
professors in the University. One of
the advantages of the course will be to
allow students to hear specialities in
their own particular field, with whom
they might not otherwise come in con-
tact. The course announced for this
year is as follows:
January 11th, Professor Cook, Intro-
duction to the Course; January 18th,
Professor Seymour, the Literary Epic
in its Greek Form, Homer; January
asth, Professor Gruener, The Literary
Epic in its Germanic Form, Niebelun-
genlied; February 1st, Professor Mor-
ris, Comedy in its Latin Form, Plautus
and Terence; February 8th, Professor
Luquiens, Comedy in its French Form,
Moliére; February 15th, Professor
add, Philosophical Basis of Literary
Criticism.
