DIVINITY SCHOOL ALUMNI.
The Connecticut Branch Organized—
President Hadley on Ministers.
The recent meeting of the Connecticut
alumni of the Yale Divinity School,
came about through measures adopted
at a special meeting of the General
Alumni Association of the Divinity
School, held in Boston last September,
during the session of the International
Congregational Council. This meeting
was called by President Dinsmore of
Phillips Church, South Boston, and was
well attended by .graduates represent-
ing most of the eastern and several
western states. It was held at the noon
hour and, following the lunch, came
several informal speeches, having for
their general theme the work and wel-
fare of the Seminary. The feeling was
expressed that the alumni should con-
tinue to a greater extent to keep in
touch with the Seminary and keep liv-
ing within themselves the progressive
and earnest spirit for which it stood.
To aid in bringing this about, a com-
mittee of three was appointed by the
President, consisting of Dr. T. T. Mun-
ger, 55; L. H.. Thayer, ‘88, and W. J.
Moulton, ’93. It was to devise methods
for promoting the formation of local
alumni associations and to inaugurate -
measures that should lead to the main-
tenance of closer relations between the
alumni and the Divinity School. It was
hoped that in this way graduates would
find better opportunities for interchange
of views and for helpful. codperation
and that, at the same time, the way
would be opened for their receiving
more directly information as to the
work of the Seminary. This better
understanding of its affairs, it was felt,
would conduce to greater individual in-
terest in its progress. Much stress was
jaid on this point and it was voted that
the committee already appointed en-
deavor to make clear to the alumni, that
the influences of the Seminary could be
greatly promoted, if each alumnus gave
expression to his loyalty by personal
effort in its behalf.
It was by virtue of this action of the
Boston meeting that a call was recently -
sent out to the Connecticut alumni.
This meeting as noted in the last issue,
was held on Tuesday, March 27. There
was a general and enthusiastic response
to the invitation. Fifty or more were
able to be present and from over forty
came messages of regret of inability to
be present, and the expression of a desire
to be included in the membership of the
Association. ‘
The program of the afternoon began
with a lecture in Marquand Chapel, be-
fore the Divinity. School, by Prof. W.
N. Clarke of Colgate University, on
“The Historical Method in Theology.”
At the close of this the alumni ad-
journed to the Lowell Mason Room.
Dr. Munger called the meeting to order
and was chosen temporary chairman.
The committee then presented the draft
of a constitution which was adopted -
with emendation. This provides for
three classes of members—r All gradu-
ates of the Divinity School living in
or near Connecticut, the President, and
the clerical members of the Corporation
and Faculties of the University: 2 Per-
sons who have pursued courses of study
for one year or more at the Seminary,
who shall be proposed by the Executive
Committee and elected by a majority of
the members present at any meeting.
In the first instance such persons are
to be included by response to the general
invitation without this special election:
3 Those whose interest and sympathy
lead them to codperate in furthering the
purposes of the Association. These
latter are to become honorary members
when proposed and elected in the same
manner as those in the second group.
A nominating committee, appointed
by the Chairman, reported the following
officers who were elected for the ensu-
ing year: President, W. J. Mutch, ’85;
Vice-President, Joel S. Ives ,’74; Sec-
retary and Treasurer, W. J. Moulton,
93.
THE DISCUSSION.
The discussion arranged for this meet-
ing had for its topic “The work of the
Professional School in its relation to the
Ministry.” This was opened by Presi-
dent Hadley. He said the ministry dif-
fered from other professions, where the
stages of promotion were strictly de-
fined. In the former days, the ministers
were the leaders in the community, and
if they are to retain that position now
they must be men of affairs. A knowl-
edge of the principles of common law
would greatly help to this end. This
study of the principles which govern the
relations of man to man will help further
to a better understanding of the rela-
tions between man and God. Ethics, he
thought, deserved a large place in minis-
teral training. He expressed the con-
viction that, far from declining, there
was never a time where the influence of
the pulpit could be so far reaching as at
present. There was great need for pro-
phets to enter upon this work and for
the training of such there need be no
great concern.
Professor Clarke, who was present,
expressed the view that there was need
of change in the plan of ministeral train-
ing and thought the suggestions of the
President worthy of careful considera-
tion.
Rey. Mr. Twichell of Hartford re-
marked on the exaggerated tendency to
organize in these present days and said,
further, that the fact he attended Union
Seminary was due to special circum-
stances and in no way involved a re-
jection of Yale. Dr. Parker of Hart-
ford expressed the opinion that the
present organization met a real need and
might be of great help in advancing
the welfare of the Seminary. Other
speakers were: Rev. Mr. Ives, Prof.
Fisher and Dr. Munger.
A reception followed this meeting at
which the wives of the Professors in the
Divinity School’ and of local pastors re-
ceived.
There were present of the Corporation,
President Hadley, Dr. T. T. Munger,
Dr. Charles Ray Palmer, Rev. Joseph

Two Terms for Academic Year.
A a recent meeting of the Faculty and
Trustees of Cornell University, it was
decided to divide the college year into
