YALE ALUMI | WER IY é Pe “S i a er Le © 991 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. *42—-Dr. Burdett Hart read a paper before the Philadelphia Congregational Association at their Spring meeting at the Central Congregational Church, Philadelphia, on the “Exegesis of Tragedy.” ’49--Ex-President Timothy Dwight is at Litchfield, Conn., according to his usual custom, and will spend the com- ing Summer there. *52—Cooke Lounsbury of Hartford has retired from active law practice, af. ter practicing for forty-five years. 52 S.—Professor William H.

DeForest and James B. Reynolds,’84, have just been appointed to the Tenement House Commission of New York State. Mr. DeForest is President of the New York Charity Organization Society. There are fifteen members of the Commission. In an- nouncing the appointments on Monday, Governor Roosevelt said: This Tene- ment House Commission is the most important commission I have had to deal with; in fact, to my mind, it is fully as important as the Charter Commission for New York City, for it deals with one - of the great fundamental factors in the most difficult and most complex of the social and industrial problems of the day. After a long talk with Mr. De Forest and others specially interested in the matter, and after considering care- fully the work of the former Tenement House Commissions, I have come to the conclusion that in order to get all the different sides of the problem properly considered, I should have to appoint a large commission. For instance, I wanted builders and architects; I wanted lawyers who had made a special study of the matter, men who had been in pub- lic life in administrative positions. I wanted men who could speak for the wage-workers, and men who had de- voted much of their lives to intelligent philanthropic work of the non-hysteri-. cal type. I wanted such a man as Dr. Fowler, particularly, because. I had served with him on the New York City Board of Health and I knew his special fitness. I wanted Mr. Alfred T. White, because he has had expert knowl- edge of the subject from many different sides, and so on down the list. 972 L.S.—William A.
