The dinner of the Eighty-Five men in and about Néw York, which was held at the Yale Club on Friday night, March 24th, was one of the most successful gatherings of the informal reunions of the Class that has ever been held. Men came to it from Litchfield, Goshen, Waterbury, New Haven, and other points in Connecticut, and Plain- field and Orange, N. J., and of course, Brooklyn and the Borough of Manhat- tan. The fun was kept up to a high pitch for four hours. The only serious matter discussed by the gathering was the celebration of the quin-decennial of the Class, and it was the unanimous opinion of the meeting that this celebration should take place at the regular time in New Haven, in June, 1900, but that the Committee in charge of it should also have power to make any preparations for participation by the Class in the Bi-centennial to be held in October, 1901, that it might con- sider necessary or desirable. There were no toasts or speeches, but comfortable talks and much song. The following were the subscribers to the dinner, who were almost to a man pres- ent: Tomes; Jackson, S.; Bertron; Cutler; Eaton; Brooks; Blake; Fresenius; Maxwell; Phelps; Sands; Colgate; Bigelow; Ficten,* «3S. Richards; Stevens, S.; Napier; Flint; Crane; George; Storrs; Carhart; Stiles; Buel; Joy; Anderson; Colt; Baldwin; Cul- bert, S.; Hine; Weymouth; Schultze; Ely. Two Resignations. Announcement has been made of the resignation of Drs. Creelman and Dun- ning, who have been Instructors in the Department of Semitic Languages and Biblical Literature for several years. They were both well liked by their classes, and their departure at the close of the Academic year will result in a material loss to the University. Rev. Dr. Harlan Creelman is a Cana- dian by birth and obtained his collegiate education at the University of New Brunswick at Fredericton. He entered the Yale Theological Seminary in 1886, and on graduating three years later, he was called to the pastorate of the Con- gregational Church in Worthington, Mass. He left there in 1893 to become Instructor in Biblical Literature at Yale, a position which he has filled up to this time. He passed his examina- tion for the degree of Doctor of Phil- osophy in 1894. Dr. Creelman expects to take.a chair of Hebrew and the Old Testament in a Western institution. Dr. H. W. Dunning is a graduate of Yale University in the Class of Ninety- Four. Since graduation he has been Instructor in the Semitic Languages, and in 1897 received the degree of - Doctor of Philosophy. He will go to Europe this summer, intending either to remain there for a year or two, en- gaged in special Semitic studies at Ber- ‘lin and Leipsic, or to return to this country and accept a very promising business position which is open to him. —_——_+4-——_—. Harvard Wins Whist Match. The annual whist match between Yale and Harvard which was played in New Haven Saturday, March 25, resulted in a victory for Harvard. The match was played at the Young Men’s Republican Club, and consisted of three rounds, two being played in the afternoon and one in the evening. Har- vard and Yale were each represented by three pairs, who played eight boards and return, in each round. In the first round Harvard scored the remarkable lead of thirteen points, and although the Yale players improved greatly in the next two rounds and completely out- played their opponents, they were able to gain only nine points, which made the final score thirteen to nine in Har- vard’s favor. Ward Bailey, ’79, acted as referee. The two teams were made up as fol- lows: Yale—Gilman and Tillinghast; Lee and Gilmore; Bryant and Cameron. Harvard—Betts and Hyman; Halle and Kelly; Robertson and Kerper. The date of the Intercollegiate Whist Tournament has been arranged with Harvard for April 20. If this date is not suitable for Princeton, however, the tournament will probably be changed to a dual match with Princeton. RO - Professor Hoppin. [From the N. Y. Evening Post.] The retirement of Prof. James M. Hoppin takes away the oldest working professor in Yale University, with which he has been connected for thirty- eight years, beginning with his election as College Pastor and Professor of Homiletics in 1861. He remained a professor in the Divinity School until 1879, when he resigned and took the chair of History of Art in the Art School, where his annual lectures have, of late years, been a prominent feature of the art curriculum. Prof. Hoppin has been a prolific writer of books, of which he has published ten, one of them, “Old England,” printed in 1867,. running through many editions. It is a series of most graceful and interesting sketches of the scenery, art, universi- ties, and other institutions of England, blended with observations of the traits and customs of the English people. The Professor is in his eightieth year, and, of his Yale Class of 1840, according to the last triennial catalogue, only fifteen survive out of 104 who were graduated. His withdrawal suggests the few names left in the Faculty lists familiar to the graduate of a quarter of a century ago. In the Academic De- partment the names of Wheeler, Wright, Dexter and Sumner are all that recall class-room memories of Yale mee that are now in later middle life. rr The debaters for the Harvard-Prince- ton debate, April 5th, on the question, “Resolved, That a formal alliance be- tween the United States and Great Britain for the protection and advance- ment of their common interests is ad- visable,’ have been chosen as follows: Princeton—N. S. Reeves; A. S. Wes- ton; J. N. Northrup. Harvard—S. B. Rosenthal; H. F. Wolfe; W. Morse, and R. C. Boeling as alternate. Professional Schools.
