ound Sense from Scotland.
JOHN GRAHAM, President Inst. of Accountants and
Actuaries, Glasgow, says:
“By means of Life Insurance many a home has been made
happy which would otherwise have become desolate, old age
made easy when it would have been burdensome, and _ the
bread-winner has been enabled to look out into the future with
tranquillity instead of with anxiety and care.”

A STRICTLY GERMAN DINNER.
To the Glorification of Science and
Gemuethlichkeit.
During the Christmas vacation a
novel reunion of former students at
German universities was held at the
Lawn Club House in New Haven.
The idea was suggested by a similar
gathering of former Goettingen stu-
dents held in New York some two
months ago. The reunion in New
Haven, which was held Dec. 22, .was
attended by twenty-five representatives
of nine German universities, ~namely
Berlin, Munich, Heidelberg, Gottin-
gen, Jena, Leipzig, Tuebinger, Strass-
burg and Vienna. The guests were all
either members or ex-members of the
Yale Faculty. All the features of the
reunion, the invitations, the programs,
the speeches, the decorations, the
music, and the refreshments were ex-
clusively German. The key-note of the
gathering was. the glorification of Ger-
man science and German ‘“‘Gemuethlich-
keit” (untranslatable), and both objects
were most successfully met.
Professor Schwab acted as ‘Praesi-
dium” (toastmaster); Mr. Farr as
“Fuchs-major’ (untranslatable unless
by “Sergeant-at-arms”); Dr. Reed as
herald, and Mr. Wheeler as orchestra.
The proceedings were opened with
the appropriate song: “Deutschland,
Deutschland ueber Alles,” which was
followed by others and by the opening
address (in faultless German) of the
toastmaster.
The list of regular toasts included
the following: Professor Pierpont re-
sponded to “‘“German Science an sich
(i.e. per se),” and was rewarded for
his efforts by having the honorary
Doctor-degree conferred on him.
Professor. Gruener delivered a_ studied
and scholarly discourse (necessarily in
correct German) upon “die Deutsche
Urgemuethlichkeit” | (untranslatable).
Professor Perrin added his tribute to
“International Science.” Professor
Oertel, whose Saxon pronunciation
created some misgivings, contributed
some personal recollections, illustrated,
of trips abroad with certain distin-
guished lights present. Professor Pirss-
on responded to the toast ‘German
Science in the Rocky Mountains’; and
Dr. Boltwood gave the results of his
chemical investigations in that rare and
evasive element “Deutsche Gemueth-
lichkeit’”’ (not yet named in English).
The speeches were interspersed with
songs appropriate to the universities
represented and the sentiments evoked.
The critical spirit of the audience was
also aroused by reading and correcting
the German replies to the invitations
‘received by the committee. It should
be said that but a small number of
‘conditions’ we-e imposed, and that
the marks ranged as a rule from 3.75
to 4.50. Professor Palmer also con-
tributed an original German poem.

YALE MISSION FUND.
A Generous Response—Only $800
More Needed,
The appeal published in the WEEKLY
of Decembér «ist, tor. the. Yale = City
Mission building, has met with a
prompt and generous response from
the alumni and friends of Yale. At
the present date less then $800 is needed
to free the building entirely from debt.
On Dec. 30, 1897, the Graduate Com-
mittee authorized the breaking of
ground for the new building when two-
thirds of the amount necessary for its
construction had been pledged. Sub-
sequently it was found that the esti-
mates for building and land called for
$8,000, and on June 14, 1808, the Com-
mittee was authorized to begin work
when $5,000 in subscriptions had been
secured. The first subcription was
made on May 23d, and the requisite
$5,000 had been pledged on July 11th,
Soon after the land was purchased and
contracts awarded, and on Sept. 1,
ground was broken. |
Although the entire building was not
completed until Dec. 17th, the first
meeting in the auditorium was held on
Nov. 27th. If the small amount still to
be raised to free the building from debt
is secured by Jan. 23d, the Mission will
have been erected and paid for in
exactly eight months. The building
will be formally dedicated on Sunday,
Jan. 15, abs Pe a:
The following is the present status
of the finances:

The fact that only sixteen classes
since 1840 have failed to respond to
the appeal, and only six since 1860,
shows conclusively how general the in-
terest has been.
The Wale Corporation.
[From the Hartford Courant. ]
It is announced that the Hon. Fred-
erick J. Kingsbury of Waterbury will
not consent to be a candidate for re-
election as a member of the Yale Cor-
poration. Let us hope that there is
some mistake about this statement.
Mr. Kingsbury is recognized on all
sides as one of the ablest men in the
board and one of the wisest advisers of
the management. He cannot be spared
at this time and his personal prefer-
ences should not be let prevail unless
there is some reason more valid than
his feeling that it is somebody’s else
turn. Mr. Kingsbury is a man of broad
views, of large experience and of ex-
cellent judgment. He is wanted on the
board and should stay there. It is to
be borne in mind, however, by those
who «discuss. the.:.Yale.. question: so
vigorously these days, that the selection
of the new president is expected to be
made by the present Corporation. Mr.
Kingsbury will partake in that action
and Mr. Mason’s successor will not.
The election to fill that vacancy wil!
not come until Summer. There seems
to have been no arrangement made for
filling vacancies except at Commence-
ment.
