YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY
CURRENT LITERATURE.
A New Yale Book.
Mr. Henry B. Wright, ’98, General
Secretary of the Yale Y. M. C. A., is
publishing from the press of Tuttle,
Morehouse & Taylor, a book entitled -
“Sundav Evening Talks to Yale Under-
graduates.” .
The eight addresses which comprise
the volume were delivered before the
students of Yale University during the
past year and are published at the re-
quest of many who have heard them
when they were delivered and to whom
they proved both helpful and stimula-
ting. The addresses are as follows: I.
“College Men and the Church,” by
Rev. Charles E. Jefferson; II. “Ex-
periment versus Experience,’ by Prof.
Bernadotte Perrin; III. ‘“Salvation—
What is it?” by Rev. George B. Cutten;
IV. “Forgiveness,” by Rev. Alexander
McKenzie; V. “Faith and Works,” by
Rev. John Watson; VI. “Foundations,”
by Rev. Samuel E. Herrick; VII.
‘Prayer,’ by Prof. George Adam
Smith; VIII. “Herod and John the
Baptist,’ by Mr. D. L. Moody. The
very charm of the Dwight Hall ad-
dresses—their informality and personal
character—has unfortunately made it
impossible to publish several, and it is
to be regretted that the book could not
be a complete record of the inspiring
Christian messages which preachers,
teachers and laymen have brought to
Yale this year.
Jesse Lynch Williams’s Stories.
Lovers of short stories are always on
the lookout for anything with Jesse
Lynch Williams’s name at the bottom.
The author of that very clever and
creditable series of college sketches,
“Princeton Stories,”’ which is now in its
seventh edition, has not confined him-
self to college life, but has done, as
magazine readers know, some very
good work in newspaper _ stories.
Scribner’s have just publish a collection
of this kind, called “The Stolen Story
and Other Newspaper Stories.” The
book contains one, perhaps the most
important, which has not before ap-
peared in print. It closes the volume
and is called “The Old Reporter.”
Like the other newspaper stories, it
takes one right into the peculiar life of
the newspaper worker, and gives most
interesting phases of that life without
discriminating against its unfavorable
and discouraging features. “The Old
Reporter” goes the way of many a
worker of his kind—a brilliant begin-
ning and a pathetic downhill slide,
which dates from the time that a too
steady and continued diet of excitement
and study of abnormal features of life,
and living in an unnatural atmosphere,
led to a form of relaxation that is
pathetically common in that profession.
It wouldn’t be a fair story for a type,

but it isn’t meant as such. It is natural
enough, however, to make it very real,
and it is on the whole well done. The
very tender side of it does not quite
fit in somehow. One wonders whether
Woods, who could do such things as
to betray dinner table confidences and
resort to the strategy of his last effort,
was ever quite worthy of the tender
things hinted at.
Outing for June.
The June Outing comes at least
pretty near the claim of the publishers
to being the next best thing to an out-
ing itself. The articles - include:
“Through the ‘Green’ With the Iron
Clubs,” by Findlay S. Douglas, ama-
term champion of the United States;
a sketch called “Where the Ouan-
aniche Is Waiting,’ by E. W. Sandys,
which takes for its text a few of the
lines from Kipling’s epic of sport
called “The Feat of the Young Men;
“The New Yachts of the Year,” by A.
J. Kenealy; “Practical Camping-Out
Near Home,” by T. C. Yard, and a very
suggestive article called ““A Comparison —
and some Suggestions in Lawn Tennis,”
by J. Parmly Paret. These, among
other attractive articles and sketches
and some most winsome illustrations,
make one decidedly uneasy in his office
or armchair. The “Monthly Review of
Sports” gives special attention to base-
ball among the Eastern colleges, and
contains among other things a very
knowing sketch of Yale’s nine. The
conclusion of this sketch is: “Taken as
a whole, Yale’s team fields fairly, has
four or five good batters, is running
bases with judgment and dash, but is
not particularly strong in its batteries.
The team would probably score more
runs against a given opponent than
either Princeton or Harvard, but at the
same time would not be so successful
in holding down an opponent’s score.
If Yale’s batteries can be brought in-
to more effective form her team will be
strong. Just at present, with the
pitchers not particularly effective and
the fielding not of the best, it is much
too easy for opponents to run up large
scores.”
The Atlantic for June has for its fea-
ture the first four chapters of a new
story by Mary Johnston, called ‘To
Have and to Hold.” Current political
events receive attention in Arthur May
Knapp’s article on the Philippines and
Herbert Pelham Williams’ very inform-
ing and candid statement of “The Out-
look in Cuba.” A short story by Gil-
bert Parker called “The Man at the
Wheel,” and letters between two poets,
the latter being the correspondence be-
tween Bayard ‘Taylor and_ Sidney
Lanier, are two of the literary features
of the number.
The special Yale literature of the
term includes a new edition of sketches
of life at Yale University—“Yale
Yarns,” by John Seymour Wood. It
is bound in paper. G. P. Putnam’s
Sons, New York and London. Price
50 cents.
Books received include Cassell &
Co.’s National Library editions in paper
of “Merchants of Venice,” “Othello,”
“Hamlet,” and “Julius Caesar.”
