YATE OAT UNNI SATE mat meetings in New York in 1890 and 18oqI. The book is published by the Class Committee of Richard C. Morse, Buchanan Winthrop, and Pierce aN. Welch, with of course, the cooperation of the Class Secretary, James H. Crosby. ¢ An Interesting Decennial Record. Charles Hitchcock Sherrill, Yale ’89, has just published the Decennial Record of his class. The book contains the data in a very complete form, which such a book should contain, the Secretary hav- ing been quite unusually successful in following up even the most elusive mem- bers of the Class. Aside from that, his own editing of it and especially the his- tory of the Decennial meeting gives to it its own character, which it would be quite rash to attempt to describe in ordinary literary terms. It cannot be classified because it is entirely of its own class. It makes exceedingly good read- ing. The book has over 130 pages and is bound in cloth. There are two illustra- tions. Notes. Arthur Colton, ’90, has a story, which is not a bad story and which has, of course, some nice touches, in the cur- rent number of East and West. It is called “Block Pond Clearing.” Mr. Colton has just published, through the Doubleday & McClure Co. a story, “Bennie Ben Cree,” which will be reviewed in a later issue. The press notices of “Boys and Men” have been almost universally favorable. The Boston Herald is particularly strong and has this sentence:. “While the story has the spell of college atmosphere all the way through, its power lies pecu- liarly in the author’s analysis of men.” Andrew Carnegie on Trusts. A director of the Standard Oil Com- pany has recently published in the Jn- dependent an article declaring trusts to be good for the workingman. To the May Century, Andrew Carnegie of the Carnegii Company, which rivals the Standard Oil for first place among the world’s great corporations, will con- tribute an essay taking the same ground. In this article, which bears the title “Popular Illusions about Trusts,’ the great steel manufacturer argues that the evils of trusts are generally self-correc- tive; that no trust can live long unless it secures a virtual monopoly of the com- modity it deals in; and that “the only people who have reason to fear trusts are those who trust them.” In the same magazine “The Real Danger of Trusts” —their menace to the independence of the individual and the state—will be pointed out in an editorial. <> ~— New Haven as a “Dog”. [Burton J. Hendrick, Yale ’95,in New York Evening Post.] ‘From the nature of the case, the city of New York can seldom be the “dog.” The “dog” is usually a provincial town, not too small to discount its value as a theatrical critic, and not too large to make its judgment final. Certain New England cities of the first class are in high favor at the present time. New Haven, Conn., for example, is an ideal “dog.” It is so near to New York that it 1s an easy matter for a metropolitan company to slip down and hold a dress rehearsal under the guise of an initial performance, so far that the denuncia- tory cries of the gallery gods, in case of failure, do not readily penetrate to upper Broadway. From all of which the uninitiated will have grasped the idea of what the “dog” is, and what that piquant phrase, “trying it on the dog” signifies. The “dog” is a small town, with good theatrical facilities and some though not acute theatrical taste, which the manager selects for the trial perfor- mance of a new play. It is first, and fre- quently the last judge of the forthcom- ing drama. It is the histrionic Rhada- manthus, before whom the leading mana- gers and actors of the day do abject reverence. A play that cas not un- animously approved may still be success- fully staged in the metropolis, but in the main the “dog” settles the matter. It is essentially the devourer of bad plays.
