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.”

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. They feel
sure the resolution will meet with favor
and be passed.

Phi Beta Kappa News.
The Yale chapter of Phi Beta Kappa
has never been in a more flourishing
condition than at the present time.
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.
