CINCINNATI DINNER.
President Hladley’s Last Stopping
Place on Western Trip.
President Hadley made Cincinnati
his last stopping place in the long
Western trip, which began shortly after
Christmas. He reached Cincinnati from
Louisville, Ky., Wednesday afternoon,
January 17, and was the guest of honor
of the Cincinnati Yale Club at a dinner
at the Queen City Club house in the
evening. About a hundred guests sat
down to the tables. George W. John-
ston, President of the Yale Club, acted
as toastmaster and in introducing the
President. said in part: “We have met
to-night to celebrate a new epoch in
Yale’s history; to welcome and honor
the man who is, we think, of all men
in the world, the best fitted for the high
ofice to which he has been chosen as
President of Yale University.
“This club lays no claim to being a
kingmaker. Yet it is with pardonable
pride that we recall a meeting we held
in this room nearly a year ago. The
question of electing a new President was
before the Corporation. Having a
choice, believing it unanimous, believ-
ing, too, in the true democracy of Yale
and the right of the alumni to be heard,
we addressed the Corporation, indorsing
Mr. Hadley. It was contrary to prece-
dent, and could add nothing to what was
already a logical conclusion. But we
were the first, the only alumni, to give
such organized expression, and we are
happy to remember the incident to-
night.
“It gives us a certain sense of part.
ownership, a feeling of a peculiar right
to touch the outstretched scepter and
the ermine’s hem. Nor does the senti-
ment of proprietorship rest upon this
slender basis alone. He is our clans-
man. No stranger, whatever his genius,
could arouse the enthusiasm felt for this
new President among the men who were
his classmates or his pupils; among men
who, as in my father’s case, knew and
loved his father fifty years ago; among
men who, as in my own case, felt, as
freshmen, the first day when returning
from Germany he began as a tutor, the
inspiration of his scholarship. We
know him, we are sure of him, he is
ours. He is the product of all that is
best in old Yale, the prototype of the
Yale to be. May I live to see the future
he will create. I fancy a glorious uni-
versity, ever broadening, ever streng-
thening, never abandoning the founda-
tions of her ancient power, but coming
into closer and closer contact with the
growing needs of the struggling world,
learning more and more how best to
meet those needs, sending forth ever
from her gateways a race of gentlemen
to be leaders everywhere, to teach, to
elevate, to ennoble their fellow-men.
The work is mighty, but the man to do
it is here. Gentlemen, I give you the
toast. Drink it standing with me: ‘To
Arthur Twining Hadley, President of
wee’!
The President’s speech was practically
the same as that delivered in Cleveland,
his first stopping place, with this sig-
nificant exception. He said that in this
trip he had been asked what he now
thought of the West, but said he, “I
have had to tell them that the West is
very much as I knew it would be, and
that I have really learned on this trip a
great many things about Yale that I
didn’t know before.” He spoke very
impressively of the enthusiasm of the
Yale alumni and the even marked influ-
ence of Yale men, on. life everywhere,
both individually and in their alumni
Organizations.
Responding to the toast, “The New
-Administration,” Judge William H.
Taft, Yale ’78, referred jokingly to the
impecuniousness of Cincinnati Yale
men, caused evidently by the strong
leaning towards the legal profession.”
Joseph Wilby, representing Harvard,
made a brilliant sneech, closing with
the toast: “Harvard and Yale, the
right and left ventricles of the Heart
of Education, which brings life and
sanity to the entire educational system
of this broad land.”
President Howard Ayres spoke to the
toast: “The University of Cincinnati.”
and was followed by Walter A. De-
ae Yale ’90, who spoke on “Younger
ale.

Harvard’s New Boathouse.
The Harvard graduates of New York
have decided to give an additional
$15,000 towards the construction of the
new University boat house, which is to
take the place of the one recently des-
troyed by fire, in the course of con-
struction. This amount, in addition to
the insurance received on the old build-
ing, will bring the total cost of the new
structure to $43,000.
Work on the new house will soon be
commenced on the basis of an entirely
new set of plans. It is practically de-
cided that the house will be built of brick
with mill construction inside to lessen
the destructive effect of fire. New plans
have been drawn up by the former archi-
tects, Peabody & Stearns of Boston, and
only the approval of the Harvard Club
of New York is awaited before con-
struction begins. The foundations of
the burned building will be used after
a slight re-enforcement has been made
for sustaining the heavy brick walls.
The building will not be ready for use
this season.
The plans for the new launch to re-
place the “Frank Thompson” have
finally been completed. Although re-
sembling the old launch, it will have
various improvements. The boat will be
fifty-one feet in length, seven feet and
ten inches beam, and will draw thirty-
six inches of water at low draft. The
boiler and engine will be larger than in
the “Frank Thompson,” and a sus-
tained speed of sixteen and one-half
miles an hour will thus be possible. The
cost of building the boat will be covered
from the insurance, $6,500, on the
“Frank Thompson.”
ing the plans was derived from a thesis
written last Spring by two Scientific
School students. This thesis contains
a complete and scientific account of the
machinery and rates of speed of the
“Frank Thompson,” and offers valua-
2s hints for the building of the new
oat.

W Reser:
A Point About Tailoring.
Every superior tailor should be his own
cutter. He should not permit his business
to grow to such an extent that, in this re-
spect he should not be able to undertake the
fashioning of each separate garment before
it is handed out for manufacture. The au-
thor has never deviated from this rule, here
or elsewhere, nor should anyone in the van-
guard of the guild.
Again, he not only should make the pat-
terns—-that is, design and cut them himself—
but, moreover, he should cut the cloth.
There is a knack in this that does not come
to everyone, and few journeymen can be
trusted to do it to perfection. This involves
the knowledge of fabrics, of their fibres and
stretching qualities, and whether to cut inside
or outside the line of demarcation. If the
reader will consider how difficult all of this
is when varying physiques perplex the judg-
ment, he will understand how necessary it is
to have accurate patterns of each man’s
frame, exactly as a shoemaker makes and
keeps a last for a standing customer.
It thus happens that tailors are often con-
sulted by sculptors as to the dimensions of
a distinguished man who has passed away,
and who is to be put in bronze in some pub-
lic place. Again, no first-class manufacturer
will employ women to make the garments,
and by this we do not intend to disparage
feminine agility or expertness. The gentler
sex are better adapted to dressmaking, and,
this being their peculiar sphere, they should
not take it as a reflection when we say that
men’s clothes can be better made by men.
