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.

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.

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.

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

reason to hope subscribers may receive
a satisfactory allotment. It is, however,
to be distinctly mnderstood that no

sidered as accepted subject to the con-
ditions named above.

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.

from New Haven indicate a point in
or near this city where their seats can
be sent.
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.
