From a wealth of raw material a fairly active and very willing team has been developed by the energy and per- sistence of Mr. Rodgers and Captain McBride. The early progress was slow and tedious. . Then followed a period of decided encouragement culminating in the victory over Wisconsin. Whether this success had a deteriorating effect or not, the team did not advance during the next week and upon meeting Columbia suffered a defeat that seemed for the moment paralyzing to its progress. Then the University itself came to the front and showed the team that there was confidence in their ability in spite of the disaster. Under this inspiration and aided by the return of a number of devoted coaches the team has taken on new life. The weaknesses of the in- dividuals are known and are not re- garded as unconquerable. Their play is not yet up to that of Harvard nor up to the standard of a veteran team, and so there is still much to do. _ The make-up ot the eleven will be such that to beat it will mean a triumph and the work of whipping it a difficult undertaking. WALTER CAMP. <2 cor. od DIVINITY MEN IN LINE. Students Discuss Beneficiary Aid — Resolution Adopted. One of the first evidences that Presi- dent Hadley’s inaugural address is hav- ing a salutary effect was given last Thursday night, when the students of the Divinity School met in mass meet- ing and passed with practical unanimity the following resolution: “Resolved, That we, as members of the Yale Divinity School, would heartily welcome any change in the distribution of the scholarship funds which would be in line with the recent utterances of President Hadley.” The passing of this resolution is more significant than may appear on the surface. The discussion of the sub- ject began in an attempt among the students to have the men pledge them- selves voluntarily to take no beneficiary aid from the Seminary, except under stress of imperative need, and when so taken to regard it strictly as a loan. Much opposition was at once shown to such an effort, both by those who could not sign it for themselves and by those who thought that it would tend to divide the men into two classes. Ac- cordingly a mass meeting was held and the whole subject of beneficiary aid in its relation to the preacher was ear- nestly, if not hotly, discussed. The situation at Yale is this: Practi- cally every man in the Seminary can, and does, receive in addition to free tuition and free room rent, an annual scholarship of one hundred dollars. In fact one periodical during the past Sum- mer carried an advertisement to the ef- fect that a free education could be had at the Yale Seminary. At the meeting held to discuss the subject, every shade of opinion was expressed and the session finally ad- journed without action, to meet again in one week. At the second discussion it became apparent that while there was great diversity as to what specific changes should be made, there was gen- eral agreement that the present system was not right. Some men however, be- lieved that because they were studying for the ministry they were by that fact entitled to. such aid, and that they should not be expected to return 1t. They argued that the ministry was un- like other professions. Others answered that the student mist be a man first, and a preacher afterward, if the tone of preaching and the grade of preach- ing is to be improved; that the addi- tional hardship begat a more strenuous spirit; and that self-maintenance as de- fined in the other professional schools would be the best possible stimulus to the kind of effort and self-sacrifice that the ministry should stand for. Some men urged that, because the ministry was decidedly underpaid, borrowed money to be returned from the salary received in professional work would be to a large number an almost impossible hardship. Others replied that the inde- pendent attitude would add to a man’s capability more than the amount of the obligation and that such a stand—that of refusing to accept discriminations in favor of this profession—would do more than anything else toward raising the preacher’s salary. Many favored the adoption by the Faculty of a method of aid distribution which should condition its bestowal up- on one of three things: distinct excel- lence in~ scholarship, remuneration in the form of service rendered, or that it be regarded as a loan. This seemed to others to disregard the fact that effec- tiveness in the ministry did not depend primarily upon scholar ship. “The prize man is not the preacher,’ was quoted from the Boston Council. With these and manv others differing opinions it was difficult to formulate any specific resolution to meet the ap- proval of the men. Some opposed ‘the effort to formulate any resolution what- soever, but the large majority agreed that the present system of virtually in- discriminate giving to every applicant of one hundred dollars besides free tuition and room rent was not in keeping with the spirit of that part of the inaugural address which summed its position up in, “Renumeration, not pauperization.” The above resolution was agreed up- on, and, though general in character, and an admission that one more speci- fic could not have been carried, it is the result of a thoroughgoing discussion and records the fact that the men of the Seminary will welcome any move which the Faculty may make to put aid distribution on a basis better calculated to stimulate the spirit of self-depend- ence. > a ae University Time Table. A unique and at the same time most useful publication called a “University Time Table’ will make its appearance Thursday of this week. It is made up similar to the time table of a railroad and is in handy form for the pocket. Its 40 pages contain about everything necessary for the location of anything or any person in the University. Be- sides the officers of administration, names and locations of religious organi- zations, clubs of research and criticism, etc., there is a complete alphabetical list of all the Faculties and instructors in all departments, with the hours marked when they may be seen, and the time and place of their recitations. Then there is a schedule of recitations of all classes in the departments, including the Graduate School. A list of publica- tions by the University and a table of contents complete the time table. A charge of 10 cents will be made for the pamphlet, which may be had at the Yale Cooperative Store. THE MILLER MEMORIAL GATEWAY. Photo by Pach. Registration Figures.
