gressive. ‘Those are no more the feel-
ings of Yale’s representative men _ to-
day than they are the feelings of the
New Haven representatives.
“In its own province, of quickening
and fostering intellectual life, wherever
it has a chance, the University is con-
stantly offering more and more oppor-
tunities to the public of New Haven.
Its courses of study are becoming wider
in their range and embracing among its
possible pupils many like the teachers in
our public schools, who cannot become
members of its regular student body.
It is offering the New Haven public in
its innumerable public lectures, in its
chamber and symphony concerts, in its
occasional art exhibitions, opportunities
of knowledge and of development that
are new and constantly increasing. I
hope and trust its attitude toward the
material prosperity of the city will be
in keeping with its liberal attitude
towards its wide culture. I hope she
will not be found opposing needed pub-
lic improvement, because she must bear
some part of its cost, or because she
cannot see just where it is to benefit
her. I hope that in the future she will
have better civic spirit than this, and
a better head for business.
ATTITUDE TOWARDS LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
“Now there is one other point to
which I ought to allude, but which is
a somewhat delicate one to talk upon,
especially in public, and that is the atti-
tude of the University toward our local
government. The University has no
vote; the University has no politics; it
has no private interests to subserve; but
it is interested in having New Haven
well governed. It wants good streets,
good police protection, good fire protec-
tion; a good and ample civic life for its
students, just as much as any of you
want these things for yourselves or your
children. And, in so far as she can, I
think you will always find her ready
to cooperate with her fellow citizens ©
to this end.
“In one way she has already done a
good deal, and hopes to do more. I
mean in the way of beautifying the
city. It is the aim of .the University
authorities that every building it erects
shall be not only convenient and useful
to the University, but an addition to the
beautiful and attractive things in the
city. The exterior beauty of its build-
ings is the possession of the citizens of
New Haven. I know that you all take
pride in it. I can assure you that the
University bears always in mind the
effect its structures will have on the
beauty of the city.
THE LOCAL BUSINESS: COMMUNITY.
“IT cannot, however, close this talk to
the business men of New Haven without
saying a word or two of the feelings of
gratitude and dependence with which
those who manage the business side of
the University regard the local busi-
ness community. When I am on the
Campus and see the liberality of New
Haven business men exemplified in such
buildings as Farnam Hall, Welch Hall
and the Street Art School; when I
look at the institution as a University
and see how its borders have been en-
larged by such New MHaven business
men as Joseph Sheffield in the Scientific
Schocl, and Oliver F. Winchester in the
Observatory, I feel that the University
is under such a debt to the New Haven
business community, that it is impera-
tive upon her always to be found upon
the side of the permanent interests of
that community. It is of course difficult
for me to state to you exactly what I
propose to do or what explicit thing
can be done to manifest the unity of
interest between the University and our
city community. There is at present no
question which separates us upon which
the University can assume any particular
position. .The best I can do is to assure
you that, so far as it lies in my power,
the best and broadest interests of the
business community of New Haven will
always be considered the best interests
of the University. May I hope that the
attitude of the business community of
~Atiae ALUMNI
New Haven may be the same toward
the University. This will go largely
toward preventing the rise of differences
between the two bodies, and will be the
greatest of help in settling those differ-
ences, should such unfortunately arise,
in the best interests of both.”

Bicycle Candidates Out.
About forty men answered the call for
candidates for the Bicycle Team last
week and have begun light training in
the Gymnasium,. until the roads are in
fit shape to ride upon. The outlook
for a good team is very bright, as, with
the exception of Laurence Tweedy. last
year’s Captain, none of the fast riders
graduated. The facilities for training
the men will be much better this year
than ever before, as a six-lap board
track has been assured in New Haven
and will be ready for use by the middle
or last of April. Heretofore the men
have had to train on the running track
at the Field or go to Bridgeport, the
nearest good bicycle track. On May
3 it is proposed to begin a series of
open meets on the new track and as the
material develops squads of riders will
be sent to near-by Spring meets to give
them experience. George Collett will
train the team again this year.

Over Two Hundred Candidates.
Nearly 250 men are now in hard train-
ing for the Yale track team, a larger
number than ever before in the history
of the University. The men have been
divided into squads according to the
events for which they are trying.

Harvard’s Great Baseball
Squad.
Captain Reid, the baseball captain,
called out his men Wednesday, February
14, and 177 responded. Among them
are 21 pitchers, 15 catchers, 92 infielders |
and 49 outfielders. It is believed that
fully 200 men will be working for places
on the nine inside of another week, as
more men come out every day. Hamil-
ton of the Boston National League team
will coach the men in base-running and
sliding.

Intercollegiate Hockey.
The fifth game of the intercollegiate
hockey schedule was played Tuesday,
February 13, at the Clermont Avenue
rink, Brooklyn, between Yale and Co-
lumbia, Yale winning by the score of 2
to o. Inman and Walworth made the
goals.. The play on both sides seemed
to be unnecessarily rough, team work
being thrown aside. Yale has now won
three straight victories, and, if there is no
falling off in the unusually high standard
of play, should win the intercollegiate
trophy without difficulty. The games
of the series thus far have had _ this
result: .

Baseball Candidates,
More than sixty men came out at
Captain Stewart Camp’s recent call for
candidates for the baseball nine. Light
gymnasium training has been mapped
out for all but the battery candidates,
the latter having been put to work in the
cage. It is of course much too early to
says what the chances are for a good
team, but the enthusiasm, and the large
amount of fine material now in the Uni-
versity, give the hope that Yale will
do well in baseball this Spring.

A Princeton Crew.
The undergraduates of Princeton are
seriously considering the plan of putting
a crew on the water next Spring, and
are receiving some encouragement from
recent graduates of that University.
Hitherto rowing has been impossible at
Princeton because there was no body
of water sufficiently large to permit of
practice. The completion of the trolley
to Trenton partially removes this dif-
ficulty however, and gives access to the
Delaware river after a trip of 35
minutes.

Faculty Gymnasium Class...
Dr. W. G. Anderson, Director of the
Yale Gymnasium, has recently organized
a Faculty class in gymnasium work,
which already has ten members. Others
_ are expected to join which will bring the
class up to at least a score. The work
consists principally of games and scien-
tific body-building.

Univ. of California Challenge.
A challenge from the University of
California Track Team was received
last week by J. D. Dana, 1900, Manager
of the Yale Athletic Association. He
has made reply that it will be almost
impossible to arrange a date on account
of Yale’s engagement with Harvard, the
Intercollegiate games and the possibility
of a return meeting with the English-
men.
a
Freshman Union Banquet.
The regular weekly meeting of the
Freshman -Union on Tuesday, February
13. was oniitted, and: in ats. piace “s
banquet was held at Fleming’s. This
innovation proved a success, and a ban-
quet may become an annual feature of
the Union’s work. About fifty were
present, many of whom made impromp-
tu speeches. M. Hawks, 1903, acted
as toastmaster, and the following men
responded to toasts: P. C. Walcott, 1900,
“Debating’; Mason Trowbridge, 1902,
“Calliope Hal = Re Bi. iwew, 1003,
“The Freshman Union”; A. C. Bragaw,
