These next few weeks are the time
when one needs his dress suit
and frock coat more than at any
other part of the year, We
are quite busy on that kind of
work. If you are pleased to
order, give us as much time as
you can. You can order from
anywhere.

courses of study, by which, if it can be
properly managed, we shall see such an
arrangement of the courses that the de-
partments will help one another, will
play into one another’s hands, so that
instead of as now, a man, who goes to
the Academic Department getting no
good of the instructors in the Scientific
Department, and the scientific student
getting no good from the. instructors
in the Academic Department (both of
which things have been true of but a
comparatively small number), we shall
see each man getting fuller university
privileges, and if things are developed
as I hope they will be, with proper
ordering of courses, a man, who has
satisfactorily completed a course of
study in either department, will find
himself one year advanced toward his
professional study.
THE PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS.
And, finally, with reference to the pro-
fessional schools themselves: I believe
it is possible to bring them into closer
connection with the life of the country,
not by the so-called teaching of practi-
cal things, for, admirable as are some
of the arrangements at Cornell, I have
great doubt whether the best way to
make a man a mechanical engineer is
to teach him to hammer out a link of a
chain with his own hands. There are
some things which are called practical,
which are really a rather unimportant
kind 6f manual taming =F Fie 1
mean that just as we can carry out our
entrance requirements in consultation
with the schools, so we can devise our
courses of study in codperation with the
offices and the shops: <*°*. °*
Now, I do not know just how this
will work itself out in all the various
lines, but by pursuing an enlightened
policy in this way, we can give broader
instruction and a more practical con-
nection with the work of after life, and
can develop schools where there is a
chance for stich practical connection.
MORE ABOUT THE FORESTRY SCHOOL.
To take one example, I have very
much at heart the establishment of a
school of forestry, and I believe, though
perhaps I am permature in saying so
until the money is actually in hand, that
such a school is assured. A school of
forestry would appeal to three classes

YALH ALUMNI
of men. First, those men who have a
general interest in so important a matter
for the country’s future usefulness as
forests. Secondly, to those who wish to
make something of a special study of
it to follow it as a profession. And,
thirdly, to those who are not practical
college men, who wish-to get the practi-
cal instruction that a university can give.
Now, I believe we can subserve the
needs of all those classes. If we use
for that purpose the Marsh House for
the moment, which, pending the raising
of the funds for putting it to the pur-
pose intended by Prof. Marsh as a bo-
tanical garden, might well be used for
so germane a thing as a school of fores-
try, and with the necessary endowment
and the men to teach, it could be made
a great success. We have the right man
in sight. He could establish a far bet-
ter school of forestry than there is in
the country; for twenty-nine out of the
thirty schools of forestry are merely
schools of forest botany, and the
thirtieth follows so closely on German
models that it is not so good as one
we could make at Yale. I believe in
that way we should meet a need for the
country, and would be able to combine,
in a way which would be valuable for
future work, learning in the college with
practical work in the field. For, as
part of the equipment of a school of
forestry, and a part which is not the
hardest to get either, we should have
thousands of acres of forest land in
various parts of the country, and men
who are working there, as part of the
academic work, could spend their Sum-
mers in the field, and men working
there as part of their professional work
could have part of the year in the field.
And, more than that, I believe—I know
in fact, that men trained in such a man-
ner would pass right into government
employment, and we should have a
development from the study into practi-
cal life to meet the needs of the public.
I mention this, not because it is so all-
important, but becatise it is a new thing
which illustrates the line of development
possibilities.
THE IDEAL STATED.
Now, if we could have such a con-
nection with the schools as would make
us leaders in primary education, a con-
nection of the departments with one
another which would make us, without
sacrificing any student life, a university
in a fuller sense than before, rearrang-
ing our curriculum and courses of study
as we are beginning to do on a consider-
able scale (and work on that line is
very actively in operation among the
different departments, and particularly
in the Academic~ department), and,
finally, if we could bring ourselves into
connection with the after life by the
right kind of merging of practical study
and professional work, and by the estab-
lishment of the right kind of connection
between university life and after life,
we should make ourselves not merely
leaders in the educational world, not
merely a university in the truest sense,
but a power in providing men in a
country that needs the services of men
who can do such work. And this I be-
lieve it is possible for us to attain.
Now, gentlemen, I have not tried to
do anything more than to give a
straightforward talk, man to man, on
You have
seen enough of educational matters to
know that it must be a slow process;
to know that for each success there
must be some failures. But I believe
that we shall have success, and I rely on
your support to that end.
I say at the end, as I stated at the
beginning, that I cannot tell you how
much meetings like this throughout the
country, among men in all places, are
a help to those of tus at home who are
giving our work to what sometimes
seems an almost impossible task, to
what would be discouraging without
your help, and to what with your help is
all-inspiring.

The Banquet Committee was as fol-
lows: Winthrop G. Noyes, ’91; Hugh T.
Halbert, ’95, and John E. Shaw, ’97 S.
Before the banquet a business meeting
was held, in which Judge R. R. Nelson,
"46, was elected President to succeed
Mr. Jelley, and Mr. F. M. Crosby, ’97,
was elected Secretary and Treasurer to
succeed Mr. William R. Begg, ’93. It.
is through Mr. Begg’s courtesy and eff-
ciency that the WEEKLY is able to give
so complete a report of the dinner.

is made up of E. C. Gale, 84;.W. W.
