Long Island Alumni,
The Spring meeting of the Yale
Alumni Association of Long Island
was held at the Brooklyn Club, Fri-
day, May 12. About sixty members
attended and listened to a steriopticon
lecture by Prof. Louis V. Pirsson on
“A tramp through the Caucusus.” It
was aimed to make this meeting the
agency for bringing before this Asso-
ciation the plans and purposes of the
Bi-centennial Fund Committee and this
object was a accomplished by the vigor-
ous and enthusiastic presentation of the
cause in the speeches of Mr. Thomas
Thacher, ’71, and Mr. John K. Creevey,
60.
erill room, the Association drew upon
its own resources and Mr. F. J. Vernon,
’93S., Mr. Charles T. Catlin, ’56, and
others were called upon to supply the
lack of more professional talent, which
sufficient to say, was not for a moment
missed.
With the new accessions of younger
graduates the Association entered upon
the coming year stronger in numbers
and with still more enthusiastic devo-
tion to the interests of Yale. :
