[From a Special Correspondent.] A typical ’98 “game” was held at the Yale Club last Saturday night. The game was disguised as the annual class dinner and the following were the ma- jority shareholders: Male, Ray, Curran, Reeve, Cowdry, Loewi, Paxton, Lock- man, A. R. Baldwin, Kennedy, H. B. Clark, Recknagel, Merrill, Gallaudet, _ Garrison, D. E. Peck, Leeds Johnson, Blumenthal, Glaenzer, Turnbull, Ben- jamin, Grenville Parker, Kernochan, Fitch, Dominick, Bridge, Booth, Shall, Gehrman, Crane, Ely, T. M. Smith, H. P. Wilson, Sawyer, David ° Rogers, Scheftel and Milliken. | Frank Simmons managed the dinner and ran the “game,” and no one could have done it better. The oratory of the evening began with a few bursts of words from Ashbel Fitch. “My fellow citizens,” said Fitch, hastily getting up, I rise to my feet with great reluctance —a purely mental act.” Then he de- scribed Borden’s wedding in a few har- Towing statements and sat down amid great applause. Merrill was then called on and responded with an alliterative class alphabet in rhyme. A letter from Marsh, representing the Ninety-Eight Virginia, | estate men at the Harvard Law School, was then read. It began with the following poetical eruption: To the legions of the shiftless. To the cohorts of the To our brethren in their law schools over seas, Sing the loafers up in Cambridge, al- ways tired, never crammed, And students of old Harvard if you please. Yea! students of old Harvard, we're on a tack to starboard, Oh we've gone the pace and still are going blind, Our lessons we don’t know, to lectures seldom go So Baldwin’s acting somewhat less than kind. CHORUS. We're poor little stiffs who loaf all day, Baa-baa-baa ! We're little black sheep as bad as Gay, Baa-baa-baa- Shiftless law students out on a spree Cursed by Pop and faculty: Heaven have mercy on such as we Baa-baa-baa. tho’ Curran was then called on to speak on “Journalism as Opposed to Tribunism.” He began with the. following logical gem, “Once in a while three years ago.” The remainder of his remarks bore out this brilliant beginning. He was fol- lowed by winged words from Hudson perpetrated by D. E. Peck. . Peck had just completed a scientific feat which will go echoing down the corridors of time, in discovering Lockman, the human glyptodon, buried 6,000 feet in a bed of auriferous gravel. He told the crowd about it and then sat down. Turnbull was next called on to discourse on the [Continued on page 277.| Spring Oxfords Double Sole Wax Calf, Russia Calf and Patent Leather New Lasts.
