The Chamber Concert Course for the present year has been definitely arranged and as last year the programs will be given by the Kneisel and Adamowski quartets. The dates of these recitals are as follows: November 14—The Kneisel Quartet. December 15—The Adamowski Trio. On account of ill health, Mr. Otto Roth, who played second violin in the Kneisel Quartet last year, has been forced to give up his position, and his place has been taken by Mr. Ondricek, one of the first violins of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. It is said the _change rather benefits than injures the ensemble of the quartet. e i ae Bequest to Yale. By the death of F. T. Jarman, of the Class of 1848, the sum of $6,000 comes to Yale University. This amount con- sists of two bequests, which were held under life tenure by the late Mr. Jar- man, according to the will of his mother, Catharine W. Jarman, who died in 1887. Both gifts go to the Theological Semi- nary, one of $5,000, to be used for indi- gent students, and the other of $1,000, to be used to establish a scholarship for in- digent students. Tie sf Visit of Governor Roosevelt. Hon. Theodore Roosevelt of New York will visit informally his friends at Yale next Monday, stopping over on his way back from Cambridge, where he will see the Yale-Harvard game on Satur- day. Governor Roosevelt reaches here Monday noon and will meet a few friends at lunch at the Graduates Club on his arrival. In the afternoon he will look about Yale. In the evening he will be the guest for dinner of President Hadley. At dinner President Hadley will entertain Governor Roosevelt and Mr. John C. Greenway, who accompanies him. It will rot be a formal affair and there will be only a few personal friends pres- ent. At 8.30 Governor Roosevelt will talk to the students at College Street Hall. After this talk there will be a re- ception at the Graduates Club for mem- bers of the Club. Governor Roosevelt will spend the night at President Had- ley’s and will proceed to New York in the morning. International Chess Trophy. The Chess Trophy, which has been given by Mr. Isaac Rice, as a prize to be played for annually by the chess clubs of Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Colum- - bia, and the Oxford and Cambridge Clubs, has been completed, and is now on exhibition at the store of the makers, Theodore B. Starr, New York City. Its value is $1,200. The provisions made by the previously mentioned clubs, and ac- cepted by the donor, are that the control of the trophy shall rest with a board of trustees consisting of eight members, one each from the alumni of Yale, Har- vard, Princeton and Columbia, and two each from the graduates of Oxford and Cambridge. This board will be elected biennially, in October. Contesting Marsh Will. The legitimacy of the bequest of the late Professor O. C. Marsh, by which his estate, valued at about $100,000, was given to Yale University, has been at- tacked by Robert H. Waters, the only surviving heir. Suit has been brought against the Uni- versity by Mr. Waters, to recover the estate on the grounds that undue influ- ence was brought to bear upon Profes- sor Marsh and that his mind was un- sound when the bequest was made. It is thought by all competent to judge, that these claims are ridiculous, and will not be granted when the case comes up in court. | ee IF YOU BUY your shirts from a large Manufacturer, isn’t it reasonable to suppose that you will get the same quality for less money than you usually pay, or a better quality for the same money?
