letics take into active physical training
a very considerable proportion of the
University; that an outdoor disposition
has become general, and that the ‘“‘tradi-
tional pale-faced, hollow-chested stu-
dent of the olden days is now rarely
seen at Yale.”
Under “Social Activities” many inter-
esting customs that have gone by are
given much space. The “College
Bully” is one of them; the Fence and
its change is another; the “Burial of
Euclid,” and the “Wooden Spoon” are
others, and so on and so on.
Under this head of “Social Activities”
come, of course, the societies. These
are described, but there is not much
analysis or criticism, although there is
a general conclusion in favor of the
Senior societies as exerting on the
whole a wholesome influence.
Professor Smith’s concluding chap-
ter sketches the general principles
which run through these various vol-
untary organizations, emphasizing the
responsibility which is placed on the
undergraduate by the non-interference
of the Faculty. Considerable space is
given to a description of the patriotic
spirit and its evidences at Yale. In
this connection is an account of the
formation of the Yale Battery, of the
presentation of the Cruiser’s guns, and
’ of the war meeting.
The style of treatment of the other
colleges is much the same. One of the
introductory chapters, by William T.
Harris, on “Higher Education in the
United States,” gives a number of very
interesting figures and general state-
ments.
The book is beautifully gotten up,
and the four hundred illustrations are
almost without exception very well
done.

Seventy-Seven Dinner.
The dinner of the Class of Seventy-
Seven on the evening of April 21st, at
the Yale Club, New York City, was at-
tended by forty-one members. Notices
were sent during the last week of
March to all the surviving graduate
members of the Class, and the attend-
ance was equal to more than one-third
of such membership. The menus for
the dinner included a reproduction in
miniature of the Yale diploma as be-
stowed at graduation, with the name
inserted of each member of the Class
attending the dinner. Barnum presided
and. short speeches were made by a
majority of the members present.
ood,’ whose early life was spent at a
missionary station at Natal, South
Africa, entertained the Class with some
specimens of Zulu vernacular. Jerry
Williams, Orville Reed, and other for-
mer members ‘of the University Glee
Club, led in the singing of familiar Col-
lege songs, which were enthusiastically
rendered. Letters were read from ab-
sent members of the Class, including
Fisk of Denver, Colorado, Geo. Shelton,
-J. Kenealy;
of San Francisco, Dudley of Chicago,
and Pyle the Class Poet, who now re-
sides in the State of Washington. Four
members have died since the last Class
Reunion in New Haven in June, 1897,
namely, Hoysradt, Shipley, Thompson,
and F. C. Willcox. A toast to these
four was drunk in silence. The following
members of the Class were present at
