Yale’s Position.
The following editorial from the Yale
News of Jan. 20, presents so well the
feeling of the undergraduates on the de-
cision of Harvard and Yale to row at
New London, that it is reproduced in
its entirety:
“The facts of the case are these:
Four years ago Harvard and Yale fell
out. ‘They broke off university athletic
contests. After two years they made
up, and in the Spring of 1897 they were
anxious to row together. But Harvard
was under an agreement to row Cornell
at Poughkeepsie. Yale had no athletic
relations with Cornell, but was ad-
mitted to the race as it was impossible
for Harvard to row twice. Harvard
and Yale desired it and Cornell, also
—or at least was willing to admit the
third crew. Yale did not like the
course, but being admitted to a race
arranged by others, of course acquiesced.
The next year Yale and Harvard ar-
ranged to row at New:London. Cor-
nell was invited and consented to join.
Harvard and Yale united in preferring
the New London course. Cornell
clung to the Poughkeepsie course. The
opinions of all three were unbiased by
variations in success, for their crews
finished in the same order on both oc-
casions. Yale and Harvard have now
agreed to row at New London this year.
Cornell has been invited to join and has
refused, assigning no reason: why it
would not be possible for them to par-
ticipate. This is, as we understand it,
the situation at present.
“And now what is to be said of the
actions of the three universities. First,
Cornell is certainly justified in refusing
to row at New London if she considers
the course unfair, inaccessible, or in
any way unsuitable to her crew or her
university. To be sure, it would be
gratifying to the other universities if
she would state her reasons, but she
is not bound so to do. Or if Cornell
does not wish to row with Yale unless
Yale will consent to play football with
her, she is also justified in refusing to
row.
All Over.
The Prom is gone for an-
other year. There will be
even more KNOX. HATS
worn in 1900 than in 1899
—at Prom time, and at all
other times.
™ Ai A TU IMIN I
“Next, Harvard is in quite as free a
position as Cornell. Cornell has no
claim on her. Harvard rowed at
Poughkeepsie for two years in defer-
ence to Cornell’s wishes, and now if
either one is debtor it is Cornell. If
Harvard wishes to row at New London,
and Cornell cares to row with her at
all, it would be only fair for her to
defer to her opponent’s wish in return
for Harvard’s acquiescence under their
two-year agreement. :
“And now Yale. We hear it said by
outsiders that Yale is dictatorial, insin-
cere, afraid and ungrateful; dictatorial
in trying to force the victor to accept
her decrees; insincere in her expres-
sions of regret at Cornell’s refusal to
row at New London; afraid of the
chance of another defeat; ungrateful in
forgetting Cornell’s permission to her
entrance at Poughkeepsie in 1897. Of
these four in order; Yale is not dicta-
torial; she does not command; she
invites. Dictation implies power to en-
force, which Yale has not. As to her
sincerity, or lack thereof, we know that
it is a matter of real regret at Yale that
Cornell has refused. We say this, not
because it is to appear in print before
the public, but because we know from
actual expression of undergraduate
Opinion that it is so. When we say we
are sorry we do not mean that we are
so sorry that we are willing to transfer
the race to Poughkeepsie to secure Cor-
nell’s presence, but we are genuinely
disappointed at Cornell’s declination to
row at New London. As to being
afraid—that is an expression we do not
consider needs a serious reply. This
will be read by those who know Yale
and they need no answer to such at-
tacks. Lastly, as to our feeling no ob-
ligation to Cornell. Such is certainly
the case. We feel none. When we
entered the race of 1897 we felt none.
Cornell was, or appeared to be, glad to
have Yale row there. Yale never felt
or was made to feel that her admission
was a great concession. The next year
- Yale, with Harvard, invited Cornell to
New London, and things were even.
Because we rowed with Cornell once or
twice, at her invitation or ours, we do
not feel obliged to defer to her, so as
to interfere with our agreement with
Harvard. Nor do we feel obliged to
accept Cornell’s opinion as to courses.
We want, first, to row Harvard; next,
to row at New London, and next, to
row Cornell there.”

Yale, 2—Columbia, 90.
The first game in the contest for the
Intercollegiate Hockey championship
was played between the Yale and Co-
lumbia teams at the Clairmont Avenue
Rink in Brooklyn on Wednesday even-
ing, January 25th, and resulted in a
victory for Yale by the score of 2 to o.
The first score, which was made after
four minutes of play, was the result of
some excellent dribbling by Palmer and
a double pass from Barnett to Palmer.
The Columbia team then took the of-
fensive for a short time, but were soon
forced to adopt the defensive. Toward
the end of the half Palmer secured the
puck on a pass from Campbell, and
dribbling the rubber down the ice, as-
sisted by Stoddard, Campbell and Bar-
nett, scored the second goal by a clever
side shoot from the right.
The second half, though closely con-
tested, brought forth no score.

Yale, 4—Pennsylvania, 1.
On Saturday evenin>. January 28th,
the second hockey gamé in the inter-
collegiate championship series was
played at the St. Nicholas skating rink
of New York between the teams of Yale
and the University of Pennsylvania.
Yale again won by a score of 4 goals
to 1. The goal by Brock from the cen-
ter of the rink, the accurate passing of
the forwards and the all-round work of
Captain Stoddard were the features of
the game.
During the first five minutes of play
- Yale’s goal was in danger several times.
At last Wallace scored the first and only
goal for Pennsylvania. Stoddard made
the first score for Yale shortly after-
wards, and, three minutes later. Brock
lifted from nearly the center of the
rink and scored again.
In the second half, after ten minutes
of play Barnett passed to Stoddard, who
drove the puck for a clean goal. Pal-
mer made the fourth and last goal
shortly before time was called.

Yale-Harvard Freshman Debate
The challenge of the Yale Freshmen
Union which was sent to the Harvard
Freshman Debating Club for a debate,
a short time ago, was promptly accepted
by that Club, provided the consent of
the Faculty could be obtained. For
the last two years the Harvard Faculty
has not permitted the Freshman to meet
Yale in debate, although a challenge
was sent and accepted each year, and
it is not thought very probable that they
will take a different position at the pres-
ent time.

Generally Not Much Good
- That is true of most special
toilet and bedroom devices. We
don’t spend time on them asa
rule. Losing your collar button
under the bureau is a part of the
day’s work. You have to put
up with inevitables.
But honestly, this trousers rack
we have is a mighty good thing.
They call it the ‘‘ Out of Sight”
rack. Not such a good name,
perhaps, but a good rack.

A Generous Gift.
Harvard has lately received a legacy
of $500,000 by the will of the late Ed-
ward Austin, the donor of Austin Hall.
The interest of this sum is to be paid
to “needy meritorious students and
teachers to assist them in the payment
of their studies,” but the exact mean-
ing of this clause has not as yet been
determined. The Bacteriological Lab-
oratory of the Harvard Medical School
and Radcliffe College will also receive
$10,000 and $30,000 respectively.
In a recent number of the Harvard
Advocate the announcement is made
that there being a surplus in the
treasury of that paper, $200 has been
offered to meritorious undergraduates
to be awarded by the Harvard Faculty
Committee on Scholarships. These
gifts, which are to be known as the
Harvard Advocate Scholarships, are to
consist of $100 each and are to be
awarded to men of high stand, no con-
ditions to be imposed except that in
case of doubt on the part of the Com-
mittee, preference is to be shown to
a man who has acquired a high stand
in English.
