YALE ALUMNI WEEKiY —841 Corbin’s Corner. THE POPULARITY OF FLANNELS has led us to stock up with samples of flannels of every conceivable pattern. You can see our stock just as well if you are a thousand miles away from New Haven. Drop a line and we will forward any number of patterns. | If you are not al- ready supplied with flannel suit or flan- nel trousers the chances are that you will want them before the summer is a third over. But that is only a sugges- tion. F. A. Corbin, 1000 Chapel Street. (=~ My Day IN NEW YorRK is Thursday. Place, Astor House. Time, 12 to 4. EDITORIAL, [Continued from 339th page.]~ record particularly creditable to Yale. The number given elsewhere is simply the number of those whose records we have been able to secure. The names of about ten others have come into this office, but it has so far been im- posstble to discover anything definite about them except the report that they were somewhere in the service. It seems to us perfectly safe to say there must have ‘been not less than fifteen in the service besides those recorded in this issue. Although we have sent out series after series of letters anid all kinds of appeals, our experience shows us that there must be a certain percentage of men whom we have not been able to reach. It is very earnestly requested that persons having knowledge of those in the service who are not recorded in this number, or seeing any error or omissions, communicate with us as early as possible and send all data possible. As to the figures of Yale in the War, it is safe to say that no one can make comparisons to the prejudice of this institution. Harvard’s records which were magnificent in total and in detail completed up to the time of President Eliot’s report, early in the Winter, showed three hundred and eighty-five men definitely located as members of the service. In the comparison, of course, it will be remembered that Har- vard’s number of students is at present about sixty per cent. larger than Yale’s and that her body of living graduates must be very considerably more numer- ous. Comparisons on such points we prefer generally to avoid, but Yale’s record seems so quite unusual that it is worth while to emphasize it. It must be remembered, in addition, that Har- vard University had two of her best alumni in very high positions and in both the Army and Navy made a special spur and gave a special oppor- tunity to see the service to a large num- ber of men from that University. Further, an offer of Yale to furnish a Light Battery of one hundred and seventy-two men was refused by the Governor of this State. Although some of the men, who were unable to get into the Yale Platoon of Light Battery A, enlisted in other organizations, it is probably true that upwards of 75 men were in this way prevented from enlist- ing. . The record of Yale’s dead has already been given, but up to this time the name of Loten A. Dinsmoor had not ap- peared in the list. It is a satisfactory thought that steps are already in way to erect a memorial to at least one of these men. Memorials for all of them should follow soon. An examination of the kind of men who went directly into the ranks, with- out looking or waiting for commissions, shows much to Yale’s credit. The Uni- versity is still very thoroughly Ameri- can. Ly _— wr PUBLICATION ORDER CHANGED. The announcement has already been made to the subscribers of the WEEKLY of the change in the order of publication for the rest of the present volume. The combination of so many interesting events, together with the War Record, seemed to make a peculiar opportunity for a combination issue. Further, the conclusion of the arrangements for the English races made a demand for a number in August, and so the matter was evened up. The number in August makes up for the number omitted last week, making a total of forty for the year. The two special numbers will furnish from two or three times as mtich material as two regular numbers would. If things go well, it will probably be the custom hereafter to publish a num- ber regularly in August. This will gather up the University news which was not ready for the Commencement number in July, and will follow up the affairs of Yale and of Yale men, as in any number. The field was so large two years ago, that we had to begin publishing early in September instead of waiting for the opening of Fall, and now that is so much that is new and interesting developing all the year round that a paper that appears all the year round seems necessary. > ea Subseribers’ Tickets for Ball Game and Race. The AtumMNi WEEKLY will receive applications for tickets for the Yale- Harvard baseball game to be played in New Haven, June 27, from Yale sub- scribers, on the following conditions: Applications to be received on or before June I9, at 12 noon; vance payment, at one dollar per ticket, to accompany each application, and 12 cents to accompany each application to cover registered postage; the ALUMNI WEEKLY to be released from all re- sponsibility as to the delivery of the tickets, beyond showing that they were mailed to the given address; the ALUMNI WEEKLY to be relieved of any obligation as to the location of the seats; the ALUMNI WEEKLY to reserve the right to decline at any time to receive further applications, when it becomes evident that the demand will exceed the supply, and agreeing only to notify by telegraph, at the applicant’s expense, on receipt of the application | when: that point is reached; checks to be made payable to the YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY, agent. Seats will be apportioned exclusively by lot in the presence of a responsible committee, and will be sent out not earlier than June 22. Persons living ‘at a distance from New Haven are advised to indicate a point near New Haven where their seats may be sent. In addition to the above, the WEEKLY wishes to say that the baseball manage- ment has agreed to deliver, for the use of Yale subscribers,.a large number of seats, and that the WEEKLY has every reason to hope subscribers may receive a satisfactory allotment. It is, however, to be distinctly mnderstood that no promises are made by the WEEKLY, and that all applications will be con- sidered as accepted subject to the con- ditions named above. Applicants are advised to indicate their preference as to location. FOR THE YALE-HARVARD BOAT RACE. Applications for tickets for the Yale- Harvard Boat Race to be rowed at New London, Thursday, June 29, will also be received by the ALUMNI -WEEKLY from Yale men who are sub- scribers, on the same terms and condi- tions as those given above for the base- ball seats with the following exceptions: Seats are $2.50 each. _ Asin the case of the baseball seats it is urged that those living at a distance ad- OF HAMILTON PLACE BOSTON. A NEW BOOK PRESIDENT DWIGHT “Thoughts: of and for the Inner Life.” By TIMOTHY DWIGHT, D.D., President of Yale University. {2mo, Cloth, $1.50. President Dwight has here gathered up a Selection from his sermons preached in the college chapel during the long period of his Presidency of Yale University. It seems fitting that his retirement should be signalized by the publication of these discourses, which will have a peculiar interest to the thousands who have graduated from that venerable institution during the time of his presidency.

It is also suggested that applicants indicate whether they prefer the train on the East side or the West side of the river. Each of these trains is of the same length, and each follows the course fairly closely. No guarantee, whatever, can be given as to the possi- bility of locating the applicant on one side or the other. The same right is reserved by the WEEKLY, as in the case of the baseball seats, to notify appli- cants by telegraph at their expense if the point is reached where the supply © is exhausted. More extended notice for the arrangement of distribution of seats for the boat race will appear in another issue. It appears now that the matter will be fairly well systematized. As far as the WEEKLY has any connection with it, every one will be given a fair chance. Uf SAC Yi J 2\2 FRONT- HEIGHT-BACK 2 F..B. WALKER «& Co, TAILORS: SUCCEEDING F. R. BLISS & CO.
