Chamber Concerts.
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.

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.

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. |
