PITESBURG ALUMNI DINNER,
Resolutions on Resignation of Presi-
dent Dwight.
The Yale Alumni Association of
Western Pennsylvania held its eighth
annual meeting at the Pittsburg Club,
Pittsburg, Friday evening, April 14.
Everything was done that could be
done to make the ‘banquet complete
and the opinion was generally expressed
afterwards that the Association never
before had a meeting so enthusiastic and
helpful. Over sixty men sat down to
the banquet and at its close the follow-
ing toasts were responded to, the toast-
master being Albert H. Childs, ’61:

The speeches were exceptionally fine;
that of Prof. Phelps being filled with
witty sallies and good sense, stirred the
assembly to frequent applause. He was
asked, and answered, in a quite informal
way, many questions concerning the
workings of the College.
Mr. Samuel Harden Church, who
was given the degree of M.A. by Yale
in 1887, and who is one ‘of the highest
authorities on the life of Oliver Crom-
well; spoke of his recollections of Presi-
dent Dwight during his brief stay in
New Haven 12 years ago and expressed
the belief that the President’s chair
would be one of extreme difficulty to
fill.
During the evening the following
resolution on the retirement of Presi-
dent Dwight were presented by Vice-
President H. R. Ewing, ’81, and were
unanimously adopted:
“the Yale Alumni Association of
Western Pennsylvania at this, its first
meeting held since the resignation of
President Dwight was anonunced, takes
the opportunity of placing upon record
its sincere regret that such action on
his part is deemed advisable, and of
expressing its heartfelt appreciation of
his invaluable services to the Univer-
sity, during ‘his official life. We join
with our fellow alumni throughout the
land in hoping that he may be spared to
us as friend and counsellor, and that a
serene old age may be the fitting close
of a brilliant and useful career.”

CURRENT YALE LITERATURE.
Two Yale graduates contributed ar-
ticles of especial interest to the March
number of the Yale Law Journal. One
is Thornton M. Hinkle, of the Cincin-
nati Bar, who writes on “Magna
Charta.” The other is Winthrop E.
Dwight, Yale ’93, who gives a very
original and graphic account of “An
Episode in the Affaire Dreyfus.” The
leading article is called “A New Depart-
ure,” and is from the pen of Henry M.
Ingersoll, the Dean of the Law De-
partment of the University of Tennes-
see. |
The Doubleday & McClure Company
will publish immediately, under the title
of “From Sea to Sea,” an authorized
edition of the collected letters of travel
which Mr. Rudyard Kipling has written
at different times between 1890 and 1808.
The book will include hitherto un-
published matter as well as an accu-
rate text of the “American Notes,” with
“Letters of Marque,” “The City of
Dreadful Night,” etc.
In the mid-April issue of Harper's
Weekly, called the “Sportsman’s Num-
ber,’ there are two articles by -Y ale
men—“Goat Hunting in the Rockies,”
by Walter McClintock, ’91, and “Hunt-
ing Big Game.” by E. O. Statiard, -Jr.,
‘92. It is rather unusual to find two
long illustrated articles in Harper’s
‘Weekly, by men who have so recently
been graduated, and their publication
therefore reflects great credit not only
on the writers, but on the College they
represent. Mr. McClintock has spent
many months living among the Indians,
and has a remarkable collection of
photographs and, what is better, a
phonograph, which preserves the most
characteristic chants and war songs, it
was his good forttine to hear. His
article on “Goat Hunting” is admirably
done, and no one who has a smack of
sporting blood in his veins can read it
without a thrill. Combined with its
“June. :
| spirited description of a dangerous and
gruelling chase for the furry white
goat, which, in its portrayal of fatigue
reminds one of David Balfour in. the
heather, there is given most beautiful
descriptions of nature—St. Mary’s Lake
enclosed by snow-capped mountains.
Evidently Mr. McClintock has as deli-
cate appreciation of glorious sunsets as
he has of big game. —
Mr. Stanard’s article is a_ typical
Yale man’s diary. It shows nov’attempt
at literary polish, but is full of humor,
animal spirits, and mental vitality. He
describes the shooting of a black bear,
a mountain lion, and a six-point bull
elk. The naturalness of his style, its
utter unpretentiousness, and its abound-
ing vivacity, make the account of his
adventures delightful reading. |
These two highly entertaining arti-
cles show Yale active with both gun
and pen.

A New Magazine.
George S. Hellman of the present
Senior class of the Academic Depart-
ment of Columbia, recently Editor-in-
Chief of the Columbia Literature Monthly,
and Mr. William “Aspenwall Bradley,
of the saime class, and Editor of The
Morningside, will start, in the Autumn,
a magazine to be called The American.
The aim is to make The American a
gate through which college men may
enter the field of literature. They think
that a great deal of literature is pro-
duced by undergraduate writers which
shows much value and more promise.
They think that if these writers had
more encouragement to continue, they
would work out products of a good
deal of worth, and that the difficulty
in receiving recognition deters a large
number of men from continuing their
literary work who might do well. The
point is also made that the magazine
means to keep close to pure literature,
and not to run into journalistic or pic-
torial features. They announce that
they do not intend to restrict the con-
tributions to beginners, but will en-
deavor to get the best possible Ameri-
can literary work from every source.
They make the following announce-
ment: “Departing from the usual cus-
tom in such ventures, we shall pay for
articles promptly upon acceptance of
manuscript.”
Reference is made by permission, to
Mr. Brander Matthews; Mr. G. E.
Woodberry, and Mr. A. V. Williams
Jackson, Professors of English arid Lit-
erature at Columbia University, and Mr.
G. R. Carpenter, Professor of Rhetoric
and English Composition.
Garvey not of Yale.
Dennis L. Garvey, who used to keep
the University News Store in New
Haven, was released, April 8th, from the
jail at Hackensack, N. J., after serving
a sentence of six months for forging a
check in Englewood. As soon as he
left the sheriff's office, he was re-
arrested and taken to the Patterson jail
on a charge of forging several checks
in Passaic County. One of the un-
pleasant features of this case is the way
in which certain men always insist on
referring to Mr. Garvey as a Yale grad-
uate. Mr. Garvey succeeded-in getting
money out. of a great many Yale grad-
uates on the plea of old acquaintance
and by various cunningly devised tales
about other classmates. He was never,
however, a student at Yale.

Army Appointments.
Two Yale undergraduates have re-
cently received Presidential appoint-
ments to the army, one with a rank of
second lieutenant of infantry and the
other to.a cadetship at West Point.
C. E. Hay, ’99, received his appoint-
ment of second lieutenant of infantry
on. March 13th and successfully passed
the physical and mental examinations
which were held at Fort Monroe, Vir-
ginia, from April 3d to 8th. His orders
and regimental assignment will be sent
to him within the next two weeks.
A Presidential appointment to a
cadetship at West Point was sent to F.
H. Phipps, 1901 S., a short time ago, and
he thas since then left College to pur-
sue studies at West Point, preparatory
to the examinations. which occur in

service; so he pre-
pared his sermon
—a short one—and
several hymns and
scripture readings
the day before on a number of cylinders,
and he actually held the meeting, ‘‘as
advertised.” The affair created quite a
sensation at the time, quite a sensation
indeed. Inside of a month the Rev. Mr.
Dominie was preaching in a church out
West,—freaching, mind you,—no more
phonograph for him. Well, it simply
proves thetruths of saying, ‘‘ Everything
in its proper place.”
