Eighty-Five Dinner.
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.

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.
