Miller Did Not Appear. Rev. James Brittain Miller, a student in the Graduate School, charged with the theft of books, did not appear when his case came up on Tuesday, Jan. 31, and his bonds of $1,800 were at once forfeited. Although a search was be- oun for him, it is the general opinion that he will keep out of the reach of the law. There were in all forty-eight counts against Miller, including the burglary . of two watches. The penalties outside of the burglaries range all the way from $7 fine and 30 days in jail, to $200 fine and. 6 months in jail, and in the aggregate would amount to confine- ment for 12 or 15 years, if convicted. The penalties for the burglaries would add probably another 5 years. An account of Miller’s stealings were printed in a previous .issue of the WEEKLY, but at that time it was not known that his efforts had been so effective. The police discovered in his room in East Divinity in all about 3,800 books, which had been stolen from the bookdealers of the city and private persons. -Most of them were identified and returned to their owners.

Y. ———_+4@——___ A Student Printing Press. | A new form of student money-mak- ing in the shape of a small, but well- equipped printing office, was opened by two Divinity students shortly after the beginning of the Fall term, under the name of the Raven Press. The work- shop is at 112 West Divinity, and in a comparatively small room the students have their type cases, well filled with fonts of new and artistic types, and a first-class Golding press of sufficient diameter to accommodate any work which has yet come to them. The busi- ness has developed considerably and weekly increases of type are found necessary. The aim of the Raven Press is to do printing for the professors and students in all literary and commercial lines, be- sides supplying engraved work on cards and stationery, together with close imitations of the engraved. The largest job yet undertaken by the firm was the printing of a sixteen page pamphlet. entitled “Introduction to the Book of Acts.” The typography throughout is very neat. Preparations are being made by the firm to print three other booklets, ranging from 20 to 40 pages in length. ———_+4—____ A Swimming Team. During the past week the formation of a water polo team has been agitated by Mr. Schwarz, the swimming instruc- tor, and it seems probable that a num- ber of interesting matches will be ar- ranged. Teams are now practicing at Harvard and Columbia Universities, and arrangements for matches with them are under consideration. If a sufficiently good team is developed it is intended to enter it in the swimming contests which are held in New York, in the Spring. The following men together with Mr. Schwarz make up the team which prac- tice daily in the Gymnasium: C. Ogle- bay, 1900; W. E. Minor, 19000; G. R. Hall, 09 S.; E. W. Farley, to01 4G: M. Smith, 1too1; T. H. Hall, Abus 1900 S.; W. S. Creevey, 1902. VALE: ALIIMNI WEEKLY Graduates Club Meeting. The annual meeting of the Graduates Club will be held February 14th at 9 Pp. M. at the Club House. The follow- ing amendment to the by-laws will then be voted upon: “Any officer of the Army or Navy of the United States, as- signed to duty in this State and eligi- ble to membership, shall be eligible as a non-resident member though resident in one of the towns designated in Sec- tion 3 of this Article, upon condition of the payment of resident membership dues.” — One Won; One Lost. The first game of the University Basketball team last week was played with the Middletown Y. M. C. A. team on February 3d, and resulted in a vic- tory for the Yale team with a score of 25 to 18. The game was marked by loose playing on both sides, which ac- counts for the size of the score. Yale scored ten goals before her opponents made a point. The second game of the week was played on Saturday evening, February 4th, with the Washington Heights Y. M. C. A. team at Washington Heights, New York City. Both teams played strong games in the first half and the score was 8 to 4 against Yale at the end of the half. The score was 10 to 7 in the second half, when Walden made a goal when he was standing, as claimed by the University team, outside the line. The referee ruled against them and after a five-minute argument the game was discontinued and was awarded to the Y. M. C. A. team with the default score of 2'to o. we at i Hopkins Grammar Club. At a meeting of the Hopkins Gram- mar School Club on Wednesday even- ing, February 1, the following were elected for next year: President, Ralph G. VanName, ’99; Vice-President, Paul N. Dann, ’99 S.; Secretary, Ray Morris, 1901; Treasurer, Raynham Townshend, 1900 S.; Walker, ’99, Chairman; R. Townshend, 1900 S.; R. W. Chandler, 1901. It was decided to hold a smoker in the near future. pe Ge The February number of the TIlus- trated American contains an article on the Yale Art School, with portraits of artists who have studied there.
