NINETY-SIX.
About two hundred members of the
Class of Ninety-Six attended the trien-
nial reunion this year. Early Monday
morning the men began to arrive and
immediately upon reaching New Haven,
the white suits were donned and the
celebration began with a ball game on
the Campus.
The regular business meeting of the
Class was held in 176 Lyceum Tuesday
morning. It was voted to hold the
sexennial reunion in 1902 regardless of
the bi-centennial celebration in October
1901 and the present triennial commit-
tee was elected to serve as a sexennial
committee. The chairman was em-
powered to appoint a memorial com-
mittee which should take action upon
the death of any member of the Class
which might occur. A letter was read
- from Eliot Sumner resigning his posi-
tion as secretary of the Class and
George H. Nettleton was elected as his
successor.
The committee appointed at the Class
dinner in New York last Winter, to
consider the question of a memorial to
Gerard Ives, made a report and was
empowered to carry out whatever plan
seemed best to them.
It was voted to send class greetings
to Taylor, Sumner and Weyerhaeuser,
and a cablegram to Ward Cheney at
Manila.
At the close of the meeting the men
adjourned to Osborn Hall steps for the
Class picture. After the ball game,
which the class attended in a body, es-
corted by the Wheeler and Wilson
band, the supper and presentation of the
cup to the class boy, John Ballard
Hawkes, were held in Warner Hall.
The presentation speech was made by
Berry and the speech of acceptance by
H. E. Hawkes. Peck acted as toast-
master and after the triennial poem by
Thompson, the toast of “Yale” was re-
sponded to by Stokes. The other toasts
on the list of the evening were: ‘“’06,”
Nettleton; “We of the Faculty,” C. W.
Wells; “We of the Professions,” W. H.
Clark; “Auld Lang Syne,” Fisher.
" Adjournment was taken to the Campus
before all these speeches were delivered.

Bacon; Baker; Baldwin; Ball; Belo;

NINETY-SIX SHEFF.
The Class of Ninety-Six Scientific
was called to order at 10.45 A. M. by
President Frank F. Brooks, in Room
31 North Sheffield, after the Class
had been photographed outside on the
steps. There were about seventy-five
men present. After preliminary re-
ports, the Triennial Committee, con-
sisting of S. L. Quinby, Chairman. G.
T. Nicholas and Jonathan Ingersoll
were tinanimously reappointed to have
charge of the Sexennial.
The question of the time of holding
the next reunion then came up, whether
in the Fall of 1901, at the Bi-centennial
celebration, or in the Spring of 1902,
at the regular Sexennial time. It was
finally decided to leave the matter to
the Committee, who being in a posi-
tion to learn the sentiment of the Class
at all times, could find out how the
Class felt about I9oI.
A Committee consisting of Augustus
P. Thompson, Frank G. Darte and
Harry L. McGee was appointed to
adopt: resolutions on the death of
Lazarus Denison Stearns, who died of
typhoid fever, contracted while in
camp with his regiment at Chicka-
mauga. The following resolutions were
adopted:
“Whereas, Almighty God, in this
infinite wisdom and mercy, has seen fit
to remove from our number our be-
loved friend and classmate, Lazarus
Denison Stearns; and
“Whereas, The members of this Class
feel that in his death they have met
with great bereavement and our coun-
try with the loss of a brave and efficient
soldier; therefore be it ,
“Resolved, That we his classmates
extend to his family our deepest sym-
pathy in their great sorrow; and be it
‘Resolved, That a copy of these reso-
lutions be presented to his family and
printed in the YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY.
For the Class of 1896 Sheff.

Another Committee, consisting of
M. B. Phelps, F. E. Howard and
J. H. McCullough, was appointed by
the President to solicit subscriptions
from the Class to help pay the cost of
the painting of Prof. Brewer, which
now hangs in 31 Sheffield Hall.
The Tontine Hotel was the headquar-
ters of the Class, and the Class supper |
was held at the Anderson Gymnasium.
In the afternoon the Class, attired in
white duck suits and hats with class
numerals conspicuous, attended the
Harvard ball game in a body.

HARVARD'S DAY.
How She Earned Three Victories in
Three Hours on the Thames,
her oarsmen in a race on the Thames.
Yale’s time was 21.13, which represents
in the neighborhood of five and a half
lengths behind. And these five lengths
would have been increased to more than
that had not the leading shell been
obliged to go far out of her path in the
last hundred yards to avoid a collision.
The races are described in detail under
their separate heads.
WHY? .
“What was the matter’? is the first
Yale question. The answer is not easy.
No one seriously expected the Yale
Four to win, because within the last
ten days, three men had been substi-
tuted and it was well known that the boat
was unbalanced and slow. Inthe Fresh-
man event however, there were reason-
able hopes for a victory, but although
the Crew led for three quarters of the
distance by nearly a length, Harvard
was able to overhaul it in the last half
and win out by a superior stroke. The
same might be said of the University
Eight, with the exception that the
superiority of MHarvard’s stroke ap-
peared at once, and the farther the
boats travelled the more strongly was
the superiority marked.
Jt was not an English stroke as
Americans have learned it from the
teachings of Mr. Lehmann, nor was it
American as taught by Mr. Courtney
and Mr. Cook; but a mixture, the catch
English, the finish American, which, for
want of a better name, might be called
the “Storrow stroke,” and it was ap-
parently a pretty effective mixture at
that. At the catch the men went well
down between the knees, caught the
water hard and very quickly at the
farthest point of reach and finished
with the arms, the back held only a
trifle beyond the perpendicular. . This
kept the oars buried till the very latest
possible moment. The recovery was
Harvard day, a new institution, was
celebrated at New. London, on the
Thames on Thursday, June 29. Yale
was present of course, like an old
friend, to help to make the occasion
interesting, but did not take a leading
part in the ceremonies, nor did she push
herself to the front for recognition, as
has been her custom in bygone times.
Her behaviour was eminently satisfac-
tory to Harvard.
Harvard took all three boat races
handily. And there are those who
think that it was well there were not
four, or five or six, because they feel
that these too would have gone down
the same Crimson road. As the after-
noon of this memorable June day wore
on there seemed to be an increasing be-
lief among Cambridge men that nothing
was impossible to them; and by the
time the Freshman race had ended, and
ended to their satisfaction, they were
confidently counting on, and intimated
that they would be _ satisfied with
nothing less than, the ball game on the
following Saturday and the football
game next November.
The first of the three events, the Uni-
versity Four contest, could hardly be
called a race at all, as Harvard took the
lead at the start and held it from there
till the finish with apparently no effort,
passing the first half-mile two lengths
ahead and the finish over five lengths in
the van. The time was: Harvard 10.51;
Yale 11.06. The Freshman Eights were
waiting at the Navy Yard to take up the
fight to the drawbridge, but although
it was an improving process it was not
enough so, and Harvard won by a
couple of lengths in record time for
this course: 9.33%. Yale’s time was
9.40. Although the unfortunate hin-
drance to the Yale shell by a steamer’s
wash affected the closeness of the fin-
ish, it did not affect the result, as Har-
vard was rowing her rivals down at
every stroke when the incident oc-
curred. The apprehensions that were
awakened in Yale breasts at the sight
of the effective work of Harvard in the
two races were fulfilled when in the
University race they saw for the third
time in three hours the Crimson trailing
the blue, with lengths of open water
between them. MHarvard’s time was
20.521, the fastest time ever made by
