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.” ~The Prudential Insurance Company & + OF AMERICA * & - Home Office, NEWARK, N. J. — THE IMPREGNABLE PRUDENTIAL. ILLINOIS SCHOLARSHIP. Chicago Alumni Propose to Offer One Worth $1,000. At the annual meeting of the Chicago Yale Alumni Association, which will be held in the University Club of Chicago on February 11th, a resolution will be introduced providing for the formation of a $1,000 scholarship for Yale Univer- sity. It is the intention of the Execu- tive Committee, who have the matter in charge, to have the scholarship sup- ported, for the present, by voluntary annual subscription of the members of the Association, but it is hoped that ultimately a permanent fund will be established by contributions of larger amounts, the interest of which alone will go towards the scholarship. The scholarship will be awarded annually. by the Executive Committee, to one or more needy and worthy students, pre- ferably from Illinois. — : The Committee having the work in charge consists of: C. T. Morse, ’87, (Chairman); Dr. G. S. Isham, ’81; Dr. Stuart Webster, 92; B. S. Cable, ’os, and G. B. Phelps, Jr., 80S.

Meetings of the Society have been held fortnightly on Wednesday evenings in the new.room in White Hall and have been well attended. The private meet- ings consist of the reading of a paper by some professor or member of the Society on the some interesting subject, after the regular routine business of the meeting has been disposed of. This makes the meetings less formal and more social. than those of previous years. ; The following papers have been read so far this College year: “The Standard of Pronunciation,” by Professor Louns- bury; “An Analysis of the Symphony Concerts,” by Professor Parker; ‘“Psy- chical Activities of the Lower Animals,” by Dr. Mendel; “The Value of Foreign Travel,” «by: S.. De Ames; ’00; “Some Aspects of Rome,” by Mr. H. C. Rob- bins. Many of these papers: have been illustrated by the use of a blackboard, and have been much enjoyed. Among the papers which are to be read before the Society during the coming term are those by Ballinger Mills, ’99, on “The Dreyfus Case’; G. M. Carleton, 99, on ‘“Sentimentalism and American Popular Songs;” and Professor D. C. Eaton, on “Canterbury Cathedral,” the later being more in the form of a lecture. In addition to the private meetings, the Phi Beta Kappa Society offers a course of public lectures which are given in College Street Hall from time to time. Professor Sumner delivered a lecture in this course on Monday evening last, the subject of the lecture being, “The Conquest of the United - States by Spain,” a summary of which appears elsewhere in these columns. Among the lecturers in this course who are to lecture shortly is Mr. Donald G. Mitchell, the novelist. The annual banquet of the Society will be held in March, when the elec- tion of new members will take place.
