YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY
Freshman Prize Winners.
The winners of the McLaughlin and
Townsend memorial prizes were an-
nounced on April 15. Mason Trow-
bridge of Chicago, IIl., was awarded the
first McLaughlin prize, and D. L.
James of Kansas City, Mo., second
prize.
The Winston Trowbridge Townsend
prizes were awarded to Walter Law-
rence Chamberlain of Springfield,
Mass.; Robert Haskell Cory of Engle-
wood, N. J., and Ike Gray Phillips of
Winchester, Mass. The McLaughlin
prizes, which are offered to members
of the Freshman class, are books pur-
chased from the income of a fund of
$1,000 established in 1893 to commemo-
rate the late Professor Edward Tom-
kins McLaughlin, ’83, and to encourage
the work of English composition in the
Freshman class. The subject for this
year’s essays was “Goldsmith’s Plays
and Sheridan’s.”
The Winston Trowbridge Townsend
prizes are given by Judge William K.
Townsend, in memory of his son, the
late Winston Trowbridge Townsend,
1901, and are awarded annually for ex-
cellence in English composition in the
Freshman class.

Yale Gun Club.
The Yale Gun Club has been holding
its regular tri-weekly practice shoots
for some time past in preparation for
the Intercollegiate Shooting Associa-
tion meet, which will be held at the Key- —
stone Grounds in Philadelphia, May 6.
The members of the Association are the
gun clubs of Yale, Harvard, Princeton,
Columbia and Pennsylvania. At the
semi-annual meets of the five repre-
sentatives of each club a trophy cup is
contested for—the cup to become the
property of that club winning it three
times. Yale and Harvard have each
won once.
The following dates have been ar-
ranged for the club in addition to the
intercollegiate shoot:
April 29—Harvard at Wilmington,
Mass.
June 3—Princeton at New Haven.
June 1o—Princeton at Princeton.
A handicap shoot open to all mem-
bers of the University will be held in
a short time.

Present to Mr. Cutten’s Church.
[New York Times. ]
Admiration for a smart football player
has taken all sorts of quaint forms of
expression, but none more singular
than that shown by one of the friends
of the Rev. Mr. Cutten, who will not be
so well known if mentioned as the pas-
tor of a little country church, at the
littler country town of Montowese, just
outside of New Haven, as if referred to
as the strapping big center of the Yale
football team. It was admiration for
Cutten both as a football player and as
a man that tempted some friends of his
to install in his little church seven
stained glass windows, suitably in-
scribed with Scriptural quotations.
These were unveiled on Easter Sunday,
and that church is now envied by the
members of other churches for miles
around, who don’t happen to have great
football players as pastors.

A BIT OF HISTORY.
[From Woodward’s “ Insurance in Connecticut?’]
The /Etna escaped the fire of December 16th, 1835, in New York City—the first in the
Series of great American conflagrations—which destroyed property to the value of $15,000-
000, and bankrupted twenty-three out of twenty-six local insurance companies.
It entered
the city the following year, having for agent Augustus G. Hazard, afterwards the organizer
and president of the Hazard Powder Company of Enfield.
It was not so fortunate in the fire .
of 1845, which swept $6,000,000 of property from the business center of the metropolis, and
cost the Aetna $115,000. When the news reached Hartford, Mr. Brace called together the
directors and told them that the calamity would probably exhaust the entire resources of
the company. Going to the fire-proof vault, he took out and laid on the table the stocks and
bonds representing its investments. Little was said, each member waiting for some one
else to take the initiative. At length the silence was broken by the question: “Mr. Brace,
what will you do?”
“Do?” replied he. “Go to New York and pay the losses if it takes every dollar there,”’
pointing to the packages, “and my fortune besides.”
“Good, good,’’ responded the others. ‘“ We will stand by you with our fortunes also.”
So it had always been with the Aetna in every crisis which it had before
faced. The same spirit had carried this famous Company through where
others had gone to the wall,
This was the last close call for the Aztna. To-day with its cash capital of
$4,000,000, a net surplus of nearly $5,000,000, and a system built on the
priceless experience of eighty years, it is hardly possible to conceive of its
having a close call.
