YALE ALUMNI NOTES.
If each alumnus will report all the
news about himself as fast as it is made,
this department of the Weekly will reach
its highest value and usefulness. The
alumni rightly demand such news of one
another and the Weekly is the place for
them to get it and get it promptly and
correctly. A great deal of ‘time and
money is spent in testing the accuracy
of the notes that are handed in about
10,000 Yale men who live all over the
world. The surest way to absolutely
prevent error is to report the news directly.
as soon as it is ready. Those who know
news about others, which has not ap-
peared, are also strongly urged to con-
tribute that news. All communications
ought, of course, to be signed, and when
they are about any others than the writer,
it is well to indicate the source of the in-
formation, in order that every item may
be safeguarded.
