It was the intention of the WEEKLY to print in this issue the additional in- formation about Yale men who served in the Spanish war, which had come in since the publication of the war record. But as reports still continue to be re- ceived, it has been thought best to wait until the August number, when it is hoped the records may be made complete and final. <> >» a atl Alumni Fund Directors, Directors for the University Fund Association have been elected as fol- lows: For three years: Payson Merrill, 65; R.

Henry James Nichols, ANSON PHELPS STOKES, JR. The New Secretary of the University —His Record Thus Far. President Hadley made his first im- portant appointment in filling the place of Secretary, left vacant by the resig- nation of Professor Dexter. The Presi- dent named for the place Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr., of the Class of Ninety-Six. It was a very unusual thing to choose a man only three years out of College, but the President could not have made an appointment which would have been received with more enthusiasm, and which had in it greater promise of suc- cessful work for the University. Mr. Stokes has just entered the last year of his course of study at the Episcopal Theological Seminary at Cambridge. He will finish his course there before he takes up actively his work here. Pro- fessor Dexter will not continue as Secretary for the following year, but has very generously consented to per- form some of the necessary routine duties of the office until Mr. Stokes comes down for permanent residence. Mr. Stokes will be here during meet- ings of the Corporation and at other times. Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr., is the son of Anson Phelps Stokes, the very well known New Yorker, formerly a banker in that city and now retired from active business. His mother is a daughter of Isaac N. Phelps. He was born April 13, 1874, at New Brighton. He pre- pared for College at Berkeley School, where he was one of the Editors of the school paper and President of the Inter- scholastic Athletic Association. He went from there to St. Paul’s School, where he studied for one year, and where’ he was one of the Editors of Horae Scholasticae. He also took there the school essay prize. In College, Mr. Stokes was a member of the Sopho- more society of Boulay, the Junior society of Delta Kappa Epsilon, and the Senior society of Skull and Bones. He was Fence Orator in his Freshman and Sophomore year; was Class Deacon; established and was President of the Yale Civil Service Reform Club; was Secretary and Treasurer of the Yale Cooperative Corporation for a con- siderable period; was a member of the Sophomore German Committee; Floor Manager of the Junior Promenade, and was on the Joint Play Committee of the Junior societies. He was also very active in the reorganization of Junior and Sophomore societies which was ef- fected during his time in College. He was on the Building Committee of D. K. E., and was largely responsible for the reforms and improvements in Junior societies which were made at that time. The changes in the campaign system for Sophomore societies were not a little due to his active influence. As a scholar Mr. Stokes took high rank, having a Phi Beta Kappa stand. He was active in debate, won the Thacher prize for extemporaneous de- bate, and spoke on the first team that ever won from Harvard. He won both the Junior Exhibition prize and the De- Forest medal. Mr. Stokes made the Yale News Board early in his course, and became Chairman in his Senior year. His conduct of the paper was marked by great originality and enter- prise in the preparation of news, and by force and fearlessness in the conduct of the editorial column. In religious matters Mr. Stokes was very active. He was, as has been al ready said, a Class Deacon, and besides that he was Chairman of the Bible Study Committee and conducted a large Bible class each week. He did a great deal of deputation work to the prepara- tory schools. After graduation Mr. Stokes spent a year in going round the world with a friend, F. E. Stockwell, who was a graduate of Brown in the Class of Ninety-Two. He then entered the Episcopal Theological School at Cam- bridge, Mass. Mr. Stokes plans to carry on active religious work Sundays in some mission parish near New Haven. Mr. Stokes is a Trustee of Mr. Moody’s school at Mount Hermon, Mass. He comes from a well repre- sented Yale family. One of his brothers, J. G. Phelps Stokes, grad- uated in Ninety-ITwo Scientific. The latter was also a Deacon of his class and was a member of Delta Psi. Another = brother graduated from Ninety-One Harvard. 3 <p, Se Academic Class Day. Ninety-Nine had ideal weather for her Class-day exercises, Monday, June 26.

The Committee in charge was as follows: Dwight H. Day, Chair- mat: Wiason : \ Adame. Bere sy. Evans, C= H.. Welles,” Jr., -and.- Phew Wright.
