War Reeords.
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.

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

Academic Class Day.
Ninety-Nine had ideal weather for
her Class-day exercises, Monday, June
26. The stand had been erected on the
Campus, between Dwight Hall and
North College and was but poorly
shaded, but the histories were so good
and the pipe went round so merrily that
no one seemed to mind the hot sun
very much. The Committee in charge
was as follows: Dwight H. Day, Chair-
mat: Wiason : \ Adame. Bere sy.
Evans, C= H.. Welles,” Jr., -and.- Phew
Wright. The ‘histories ‘were excep-
tionally good and were delivered by
these speakers, and in the following
order: Hugh A. Callahan, Chicago,
