In the absence of President Learned, Vice- President Nason presided. The invited guests for the evening were: Hon. Wil- liam J.

Horace White of Syracuse, a Cornell graduate who also spoke in behalf of Cornell; Captain Frank Hinkey of the Class of Ninety- Four, Yale, also spoke. Julian W. Cur- tiss, ’79, an invited guest, entertained ‘the Association with a delightful talk on Yale athletics, reiterating that Yale spirit had not by any means died out. Dr. Livermore spoke of Yale as the founder of colleges. Lieut-Governor Woodruff acted as toastmaster. The Association unanimously passed a resolution requiring the fee for. mem- bership should be placed at $1.00 per year. At the conclusion of the speaking, the annual election of officers for the ensuing year took place, resulting in the election of Hon. William L. Learned, ’41, President; Hon. Henry T.

Mc- Chesney, ’81; Dr. W. W.° Saymore; L. H. Tucker,.Jr.» ’o1, and Lewis: R. Parker, ’92. The Association is in a very flourish- ing condition, but owing to the inability of a large number of members to be present, the event was not quite as largely attended as the preceding year. It is particularly desired by the mem- bers of the Association that all Yale alumni within the territory of Eastern New York send their names to the Sec- retary in order that they may be in- cluded in the invitation list for next year, and this includes all Yale men who will graduate this coming June.

The choice of pronunciation is a de- liberate act for which there is plenty of time and a multitude of contradic- tory authorities to suit all precon- ceived prejudices. But when it comes to the game itself, one is precipitated into a suc- cession of mental and moral crises, when the judicial sense flees and the sensitive Caddy flees, and gentle peo- ple look the other way, and when one’s state of mind makes it quite impossible to discriminate as to either the form or the substance of one’s language. You can reduce the num- ber and the intensity of these crises considerably by making the tools you work with the best that can be found. You can address A. G.
