Silliman, Yale’s oldest living graduate, was presented to the Yale Club of New York, January. 27. °30—The Hartford Courant of Tues- day, Jan. 24 says: “Dr. Henry Barnard, the eminent educator, was 88 years old yesterday, and the event was celebrated by a reception at his home in the after- noon: Many friends braved the fierce rain and called to pay their respects to him and offer their congratulations on his. long and useful life. The doctor appeared in excellent health and spirits. Many birthday gifts were sent in. In the dining room a birthday cake, with its eighty-eight candles all ablaze, looked a good deal like a lively fire. During the: day Dr. Barnard received many telegrams and letters from edu- cators through the country.” °57—Dr. Cyrus Northrop, President of the University of Minnesota, talked recently before the Yale men of Min- neapolis on “Expansion.” The follow- ing is the conclusion of his address as reported by the Minneapolis Tribune: “Up to~the present time, certainly, there has been no wild spirit of impe- rialism manifested by our people. The course of the President, thus: far, has been eminently wise, and it remains for. Congress to determine what the final disposition of the acquired territory shall be. In reaching a conclusion on that subject, it is best to. go slowly. We cannot outline the future by simply looking at the past; we cannot deter- mine our duties in the twentieth cen- tury by studying the deeds of the fathers a century ago. It is possible for us to do a work for humanity that will not only be mighty in its direct results, but will stand as an example to the Chris- fan nations of the world in coming time, and determine, in a large measure, the policy of the civilized world toward the less. fortunate parts of the earth. In the light of our example of what we have done for Cuba, Europe will hardly stand by in coming time and see, unmoved , indiscriminate massacres in Armenia, and the nation that thus does something unselfish for humanity is sre to receive a blessing. The man who does something for another is happier than he who thinks only of himself, and I hold that that love which is the. grandest thing in the world, which ennobles men, and which is in its essense the spirit of God, is some- thing which may move, not merely in- dividual men, but nations, and that the nation which manifests most of this unselfish. love in service for others is most stire to become the favorite of Heaven. An able writer in the East has pointed out that there,are three things which stand strongly in favor of the maintaining of our hold upon the territory we have taken, especially the Philippine islands: The commercial spirit of the Pacific coast, the intense patriotism of the Central West; and the conscience of the East, which will not let its more conservative people acquiesce in the surrender of the Philip- pines, either to Spain or to anarchy. The classification of influences is prob- ably just, and I, for one, rejoice that it is the intense patriotism of the people among whom we live here in the West, which will be largely responsible for the maintenance of a policy which will make this nation an example to other Christian nations of the world, and a benefactor to those who live in dark- ness, and have never known the bless- ings of freedom and justice.” °61—Brayton Ives has recently been elected President of the New York Stock Exchange, a position which he had also held in the early Eigthties. °69—Gardiner Lathrop took a trip of several months abroad during the past year, going through Italy, the Holy Land, down the Nile, and to several pa places about the Mediterranean ea. *71—Thomas Thacher was a guest at the Princeton Alumni dinner, held at Delmonico’s in New York, January 10. 75 5.—Burton Mansfield has recently been elected President of the Church Club of the Diocese of Connecticut.

Norton recently accepted the position of principal of the Haverling Union School of Bath, N. Y. The Steuben County Advocate says of the new principal: “The Board con- sidered the qualifications of twenty-five applicants, and were unanimous in the selection of Dr. Norton, believing that he was best fitted to maintain Haver- ling’s high standing. Dr. Norton is a native of Homer, Cortland Co., N. Y., and is thirty-six years of age. . He was the principal of the Virgil graded school from 1878 to 1880, graduated at Homer Academy in 1881, and entered Yale University. He graduated there in the Class of Eighty-Five. He has been three years principal of the Morrisville, N. Y., Union Schools, which position he left to become Professor of Lan- guages in Olivet College, Michigan. In 1888 the University of Syracuse gave him the degree of M.A. and six years later Wooster University gave him the degree of Ph.D. The past two years he has been principal of the Middle- burgh, N. Y., High School, and. had been offered the position for a term of years at an advanced salary. His letters of recommendation were of the highest order. The Board of Education think-they have made no mistake in this selection. Dr. Norton’s family consists of his wife, and a daughter eight years old.” "86: T:S:—Rev. . Norman. Plass ° will enter upon the work of the Anti-Saloon League in Rhode Island. ’°87—The Buffalo Express of January 13 has the following editorial: “The community will be grateful to Gov. Roosevelt for helping it to realize one of its ideals. We are all idealists at heart and when the ideals prove to be the practical we all feel a secret glow of satisfaction. The career of Thomas Penney, yesterday appointed District Attorney of Erie County, reads like a chapter from American biography. A poor emigrant boy, working with head and hands to make his. way through College and into a profession—how typi- cal is this of our ‘self-made’ men! But Thomas Penney is something better than the rough-and-ready self-made man. He was not satisfied with obtain- ing enough education to enable him to earn his living in a profession. He worked for the more liberal culture, too, and now he is the peer of the best product of the schools. He had the will, he found the way, and he has kept CAMPUS BASE BALL . is no longer for you.

He made his way steadily in the law, for which he develdped an aptitude, but when he was appointed Assistant District Attorney - he re- nounced money-getting and -gave his whole time to his public office: He staked much on popular appreciation of his devotion to duty, but he° was not disappointed. He is District Attorney of Erie County now, and, by all the signs, he is destined to go higher. It is an ideal appointment. It is the merit system applied to a high office. It ap- peals to one’s inherent sense of fitness. No one but the law-breakers will be aggrieved. The candidate of no fac- tion of his party, District Attorney Penney is the choice of the entire com- munity. Everybody: recognizes his ability and believes in- his fair-minded- ness. He has the experience to make a successful District Attorney and, more valuable than all, he has the courage— the backbone.” ae ee °88—The firm of Christie, Lowe & Heyworth, of which James O.
