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.

to the Tenement House Commission of

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.
