FOOTBALL TICKETS.
Committee Supervising the Distribu-
tion—Other Points.
The Yate ALUMNI WEEKLY _ dis-
tributed 1,530 seats for the game at
Cambridge. These all went into the
registered mail early Monday morning
of this week. As it is distinctly stated
in the conditions of the application, the
WEEKLY has not assumed any responsi-
bility for loss in the mails. It will,
however be the endeavor of the WEEKLY
to follow up to the best of its ability
any tickets which may be reported as not
received within a reasonable time.
The number of seats allotted to Yale
was used up before Monday, with the
possible exception of a few seats in the
end stands. It has been difficult to se-
cure more seats from Harvard, where
the pressure has been overwhelming
and where the failure of many under-
graduates to secure anything but the.
least desirable seats has caused a great .
deal of feeling. The Yale management
was given the number of seats which
it asked for, and this number was far
in excess of that used two years ago.
The enthusiasm this year has resulted in
sending probably a thousand or fifteen
hundred more Yale supporters to the
Cambridge game. The total number of
seats distributed to both undergraduates
and graduates from New Haven has
been about 3,600.
The Committee appointed to supervise
the distribution of seats to the graduates
by the YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY is made
up as follows: Prof. Eugene L. Richards,
Yale 60; the Hon. William K. Town-
send, “Yale 72> Rev. E. Ss Litres; Yale
72; Mr. Samuel H. Fisher, Yale ’8q;
Mr. Harry G. Day, Yale ’go S.
The assignment of seats was strictly
by lot under the general classification of
YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY subscribers first,
and other graduates next.
This system will not be considerably
changed for the Princeton game. The
desire is to do away as far as possible
with any special classification. An ap-
plication has been received among others
from the President of the University and
has.gone into the records with all the
others. It will not be surprising if that
name be given more than one chance,
if it doesn’t come out at a good point
the first time; but the disposition will
be to require about as much reason as
this for any exception.
No tickets whatever went out from the
ALUMNI WEEKLY except on the applica-
tion of a graduate, which complied in
all respects with the conditions of the
applications. There was no special list
to be cared for from a special supply,
and there will be no special list to be
cared for from a special supply for the
Princeton game.
The division of seats as between un-
dergraduates and graduates for the
Princeton game has been decided on a
scale that is very generous to the grad-
uates. As undoubtedly will be the case,
if many graduates do not get the seats
which they want, or anywhere near the
position which they desire, at least a
similar number of undergraduates will
be in the same predicament. Before
another paper is out there will be
a great many graduates who will feel
much disappointed at the position which
they have secured in the allotment.
This might go without saying, but it may
as well be said now as at any other
time. It is to be expected.
The only thing to be remembered is
this. If the present system of distribu-
tion to the graduates is maintained, a
permanent record will be established
here, which will show against each man’s
name the kind of seats which he secures
from year to year, and on the second
or third year of receiving seats, con-
sidered less desirable, he will have a
chance at better seats. ‘those who come
at the end of the subscriber’s list for two
years in succession will have a chance
nearer the top of the list on the third
year; also those who come near the
end of the other list for two years in
succession will have a chance near the
top of that list for the third year.
Special precautions have been taken
to prevent the seats getting into the
hands of speculators. It is considered
an offense against Yale that any man
who obtains his seats as a Yale man
should allow a speculator to have them.
For that purpose, the privilege of re-
turn is given in the case of those who
find for unexpected personal reason that
they cannot use their tickets. As
seems doubtful.
announced, the WEEKLY will receive
these tickets back up to noon of Friday
before the game.
This privilege does not apply to those
who are simply disappointed with the
location of their seats, and the WEEKLY
will reserve the right to judge of any
case where the reason for the return
The WEEKLY will al-
ways be glad to try to dispose of seats
that are not wanted, for any reason, but
they are returned on the owner’s re-
sponsibility, except in the case men-
tioned.
LETTERING OF HARVARD SECTIONS.
The diagram of Soldier’s Field first
sent the Yale Football Association, by
the Harvard management, was lettered
on the old plan. As soon as it reached
the Yale management, it was imme-
diately photographed, engraved and
printed, for the convenience of Yale ap-
plicants. A week or so later appeared
a diagram from the Harvard manage-
ment containing an entirely different
lettering.
This mistake was at once noticed here
and instructions in the applications,
which were based on the diagram first
furnished, were not followed literally.
The Harvard management furnished the
Yale management with five of the central
sections on one side of the Field, and
the reauests of the applicants were fol-
lowed as to location, as far as possible,
and not as to lettering.
It was intended to enclose with the
tickets the revised diagram in order to
explain the trouble to Yale applicants.
It was impossible to secure these before
the WEEKLY applications were sent out,
but they were followed within a day
with these new diagrams, and it is hoped
that the matter is now perfectly clear
to all. 3

Cornell and Yale.
{From an Interview with President Schurman, after
attending the Hadley Inauguration, printed
in the Cornell Alumni News. ]
“Comparing the student life at Cornell
with that at Yale, I can easily see a
large difference. There they have the
dormitory system in the highest develop-
ment, with the whole student life cen-
tering around one small quadrangle of
buildings; they have their common eat-
ing hall; they have their common meet-
ing place; all their life moves about one
center, which is the campus. Here at
Cornell we need, we must have, these
same influences to inspire in every man
the love for Cornell that Yale men feel
for their alma mater. I am convinced
more strongly than ever that Cornell
must have dormitories, large halls on
the campus where the students can feel
that they have a home in the University
itself; we must have an undergraduate
club where the students can gather for
social intercourse; and we must have
a common dining hall which will draw
the students close together. We want
more influences which will draw the
student: body together and give them
common interests; a loyal university
spirit is sure to follow.
What impressed me most of all in
my visit to Yale was the torchlight
procession of the students. Over two
thousand of them, dressed in fancy caps
and gowns, were in line, six abreast,
and it was one of the greatest college
meetings I have ever seen. What makes
that possible is the fact that they live
near together and have a common start-
ing place. That is what we must have
here at Cornell.
One of the incidents of the procession
that was particularly amusing was the
way in which the students portrayed
President Hadley’s work on “Transpor-
tation.’ A large transparency was made
representing a train of cars, and in
the baggage car was a picture of Chaun-
cey M. Depew as a baggage master
putting off a trunk marked ‘A. T. H.—
Yale.’
The celebration was a great success
from beginning to end and I was very
much pleased to note many expressions
of good will toward Cornell, and indi-
cations that Yale is to abandon to
some extent her long continued policy
of isolation.”

The Gounod Society.
The Gounod chorus began its work
for the year, Nov. 6, under the direction
of Mr. Agramonte of New York, who
has had charge of the training of the
chorus for several years past. Rehearsals
are held in Republican Hall on suc-
cessive Monday evenings. The work
selected for the first concert is Men-
delssohn’s Elijah. Harry B. Jepson,
Yale ’93, is the accompanist of the
Gounod and a larger number of students
have been successful applicants for places
in the chorus than ever before.
