PRESIDENT HADLEY.
It is done. And it is well done. In
deliberate retrospect and after’ six
months of prospect, we are convinced
that the Corporation of Yale could not
have more highly or more effectively
served Yale than in their choice of last
Thursday. And we can speak for Yale.
We do so in full knowledge of the argu-
ments and debates of half a year, of
diverse tastes and temperaments, and
of all conflicts of conviction. We are
absolutely confident that we are well
within the truth in saying that the heart
of Yale is glad and that the mind of
Yale is satisfied.
Yale—and when we use this word,
we speak of all Yale, graduate, official
and undergraduate—wanted a Yale
man. ‘They have one. None could be
more of Yale, by life and work and
spirit and by all the influences of ances-
than Arthur —
try and environment,
Twining Hadley. He has lived his life
for Yale as his father did before him
and, like his father, with great distinc-
tion. He has studied Yale as closely as
he has studied favorite problems of his
profession, and knows it through and
through,—not on one side but on all
sides.
Yale asked for a young man, seeing
that the years that would come and go
so swiftly would be so crowded with
new works and new opportunities and
new questions, that, if the University
were to be led calmly but surely along
a path that came out of its best past
to go into its best future, it should
have one to lead her who had time to
arrange all things to this end, and could
be patient while he forged forwards.
Yale wanted a man whom the country
knew as one of such parts of mind and
of character as to afford in his own
record a guarantee of the strength and
quality of leadership. They have a man
to whom men of thought and men of
action subscribe, whose intellectual
endowments are such as the dignity of
his high position should demand,
whose character is most enthusiastically
trusted by those who are personally
nearest to him, who is not only re-
spected of men, but for whom men have
affection.
Besides these things, Yale asked more
than anything else for two other things.
First, for one whom all Yale would
follow. To-day Yale is back of the
President-elect with a loyalty worthy of
her best traditions. The Campus has
but one voice and the Yale of the life
outside the Campus is at one with the
Yale of here.
And, lastly, Yale asked for a citizen—
for one who recognized the responsibil-
ities of an American University to the
American Republic, of a Connecticut
University to the Commonwealth of
Connecticut, of a University, whose
home is in New Haven, to its city.
And the President-elect is one who, in
office, in speech, in writing and in his
manner of association with men, has
shown great zeal and great force in the
public service and has exemplified a
high standard of citizenship.
Congratulations to Yale and God-
speed to her new leader.

THE NEW ERA AND THE ALUMNI
WEEKLY.
Let us work together. That sugges-
tion is for every Yale man on our list.
As Yale begins to work out the alto-
gether untried problems that are before
her, and to do even greater things than
have yet been done, let no one forget
how that which is now a part of history
has been accomplished. Codperation
is the key of Yale enterprise in all
departments of Yale life and Yale work.
Now we ask very seriously and very
sincerely of every man who has an
interest in this place, to make such use
of the WEEKLY as he can; not only in
watching things as they develop and in
reading new Yale history as it is made,’
but in helping to make it. There
comes into almost every Yale man’s
mind, from time to time, some thought
of what might be or ought to be, or
ought not to be, here at Yale. This
paper is trying to be, and with the
cooperation of the officers and men of
‘Yale, it has in some measure become,
a clearing-house for Yale ideas, and a
connecting system between the Yale of
New Haven and the Yale of all the
rest of the world.
We ask every Yale man to use it
freely. When the doubt and the sugges-
tion and the curiosity comes and you
are not satisfied, try us. You may not
want to write anything for publication,
and we may not want to print it’ if
you do,—for all things are not expedi-
ent; but if the Wrrxiy hears from
you, you will hear from the WEEKLY.
The WEEKLY will be better off and bet-
ter able to do its work, if it has your
idea or your point of view or your
complaint. If the suggestion is one
that can be transmitted in print, it will
_ be so transmitted; but there will not
be a sacrifice of Yale interest for the
sake of Yale news. And if it would
better be quietly passed on for the use
of those who can make the best use of
it, then it will be so passed on.
We trust we need not add that if it
is a question of getting facts from us
which we have on our records or which
we have access to, which are needed
for the promotion of some Yale enter-
‘prise in any part of the country, we are
ready to give this. If there is some
particular expense in securing these
facts the actual expense will be charged
to those who need them, but it is gener-
ally possible to supply all such requests
with such equipment and force as we
now have, very simply, and without any
cost. The WEEKLy has placed itself in
a position to do this work upon a larger
scale than it has yet done it, and we
trust that the response of the Yale
alumni may justify the outlay which we
have made. As Yale men, our sub-
scribers are stockholders in this enter-
prise of an alumni paper, and their
rights and privileges as such we shall
always try to recognize and to grant.

A COLLEGE HOMESTEAD.
We have been looking over the list
of names of those who have had their
College home in South Middle. There
are so many of them who would rightly
go on any Yale roll of honor that
it is quite idle to attempt to enumerate
them in an article like his. Go-
ing back into the forties, when the
building was nearly one hundred years
old, and coming down to not later than
seventy, the list rolls up to a limit
quite beyond an editorial column, of
men who have been active—honorably
and successfully active—in very many
and various walks of life. These men,
and the great company before them;
and the men who have followed, who
are now coming to the front rank and
the first stations, are visibly connected
with Yale by this old Campus home-
stead.
Of course you can argue the point;
indeed, one can argue away almost
anything in sentiment, no matter
how tender or strong or inspiring
it is. When you measure such things
as memories and associations of the
past and the way in which these
memories and associations are kept
alive, you cannot put the results down
in figures. These men were in Yale,
and Yale does not depend on any
particular collection of brick and mor-
tar for its life. No, indeed, it does not!
We are very strong on that ourselves.
But just how it applies when it comes
to the question of saving an old Yale
home, we are just thick enough not to
see.
A friend who comes to mind is of a
family who settled many generations
ago in the old town of Guilford. Some
of the family have lived there ever
since, and the homestead is there. We
are not prepared to say just what con-
dition that homestead is in. It doubt-
less has needed, from time to time, a
good deal in the way of repairs; it may
be required, to preserve it for the future,
an outlay of several hundred, and per-
haps more than a thousand cold, hard
dollars, with which a few stocks or a
gold bond might be bought, returning
interest. It probably is not nearly as
conveniently adapted ‘to the present
uses of the family and for the purposes
of large family reunions, as is a modern
house. Why not tear the old thing
down and put up something that is up
to date, and is more conveniently
located, according to the eye of the
landscape gardener? You could put a
new building somewhere near the site
which would do the work a good deal
better, and what difference is it going to
make to the good people whose fathers
and forefathers, back indefinitely,
lived there. When they go back for a
reunion, they know that the family
have lived in the town of Guilford for
a long while, and that some members
of the family live there now, and they
have now, as ever, the freedom of the
town. The town is just as beautiful
as ever, and restful. Why let sentiment
stand in the way of progress? Why
let the old building cumber the earth
