‘THE PRUDENTIAL +++
As to South Middle.
To the Editor of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY:
Sir: What you say about South Middle
expresses my sentimental feeling toward
North. I. never visit the College
grounds without going into the familiar
old entry, up one flight, and looking
at the number on the door. I don't
believe I ever miss doing so. I know
perhaps a dozen men who have the
same feeling toward that College. They
were men of my day. I presume they
represent hundreds, of other years, who
have the same feeling, and yet I never
hear any pleas for the preservation of
North. South Middle by’ itself would
have no significance to me, nor to these
others, nor to the other hundreds who
lived in South and North Middle. All
these would have been gratified by the
preservation of the whole row, but the
saving of South Middle alone must seem
to them like invidious discrimination.
South Middle’s claim may consist of
superior age (I am not sure, for the
moment), but the difference cannot be
very material. The claims for South
Middle seem to me based chiefly on the
fact that its former occupants are men
who do not hesitate to express their
feelings, and in their expression reveal
‘their selfishness. :

President Hadley as a Poet.
- To the Editor of YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY:
Sir: Few, even among the _ best
informed of Yale’s numerous children,
are, I believe, aware of the fact that,
in addition to his other claims for ap-
preciation, President Hadley is entitled
to a place in the ranks of those who
occasionally woo the Muse. It is prob-
ably due to his intense modesty that this
has not been discovered; and, so far as
he himself is concerned, it is possible it
might never be. But a just regard for
the importance of detail does, I feel, call
for an exposition of this indubitably
truthful statement, and I therefore send
a copy of one of his poems. This spon-
taneous effusion, like the poems of Silas
Wegg, was of suggestive origin, and was
composed sometime during the Junior
year of his course in college, when, as
a member of the Class of 1876, he was
suffering with certain others, many of
whom still survive, under “Zoolog-al”
_treatment at the hands of Professor
Wright. The lines, as taken down by
me at the time, read as follows:
“I was a Rhizopod,
With Protoplastic cells,
I had a little Nucleus,
But I had nothing else.”
Critical readers of these lines will
readily perceive in them the same ten-
dency to get right down to bottom facts
that has since marked President Had-
ley's work in other fields not closely
allied with poetry. J am not aware that
he has ever conyrighted the poem, so it
is probably safe to publish it without
assignment. There is a good deal more
in your President than many of you
younger Yale men have yet found out.
Yours cordially,
FREDERIC W. PANGBORN,
Yale 76.

CURRENT YALE LITERATURE.
The Yale Review for February com-
ments editorially on “The Question of
Porto Rico” and also on the stibject of
“Scientific Socialism.” The body arti-
cles are: “Influence of the Trust in the
Development of Undertaking Genius,”
by Sidney Sherwood; “Recent Works
on Russian Economic Conditions,’ by
Viadimir Gr. Simkhovitch; “The Four-
teenth Amendment in the Light of Re-
cent Decisions,” by Max West; “Rural
Sanitation in England,” by William H.
Allen, and “Experience of the Dutch
with | [roepical Labor, 1.2 The -Gulture
System,” by Clive Day. The Review is
publishing a series of articles on Colo-
nial questions. Mr. Day’s article is the
third which has already appeared.
The cover design for the novel “Boys
and Men” is the work of Mr. G. Al-
bert Thompson, a portrait painter of New
Haven, Conn. Mr. Thompson’s design
is based on the well known portrait of
Gov. Yale;""made* by “a” Dutch — artist
named Seeman in 1717. Those who saw
Mr. Thompson’s work before it was ac-
cepted by the Scribners, said he has ac-
ee a difficult task with great
skill.
Professor J. M. Hoppin is at work on
a book relating to the history of Italian
Painting.

CUTLER.
At a recent meeting of the Class of
1900 Cutler, the following officers were
elected: President, Edward R. Buck;
Secretary, Henry B. Hollins; Treas-
urer, George Vieter.
The Cutler Hockey team won its first
championship game on January 24th,
against the Columbia Grammar _ seven,
at St. Nicholas Rink, by the score of
2 10.0.
February to the team was defeated by —
the seven of Berkeley School in the
decisive game of the Interscholastic
championship series, by the score of
2 to 1. The defeat was largely due to
the fact that T. L. Manson, who filled
the position of goal on the Cutler team
during the early part of the season, was
unable to play. The team lined-up as
follows:

ward R. Buck; cover, William H.
