10 YALE ALUNNT
A Report from the Advisory Board
on the Condition of the Paper.
To the Alumni of Yale University:
The growth in scope and importance,
during the past few years, of the YALE
ALUMNI WEEKLY, has led the members
of its Advisory Board,.at- the’ request
of the Editor, to take under considera-
tion the question of the permanent con-
stitution of the paper as a Yale institu-
tion. 7
When the discussion was first entered
upon, the Board hoped to be able to
make a definite report before the. close
of the present year. The subject, how-
ever, has proved broader than was an-
ticipated, and the Board think it better
for the present merely to report pro-
gress, and to say:
(1) That the matter is receiving the
careful consideration which is due it.
(2) That the Advisory Board are so.
well satisfied with the character, growth
and position of the paper, that they
are unwilling to recommend any change
until satisfied that it will at least con-
serve the present strength of the paper.
That, therefore they propose to take such
ume as is necessary to properly pre-
pare and present their plans.
(3) That the present Editor of the
paper will in the meantime continue his
work as editor and manager, and the
Present Advisory Board will continue to
act as the final judges of the editorial
policy of the paper. —
For the Advisory Board,
JAMES R. SHEFFIELD,
PIERRE Jay,
Committee.
The Baseball Situation.
Yale begins the first of the champion-
ship baseball games with Princeton,
Saturday, June 2, at Yale Field, and
gives Princeton a return game, Satur-
day, June 9, at Princeton.
On Wednesday, May 23, Lehigh de-
feated Yale at the Field, 10 to
8. With the exception of Cook there
was fio batting, and the fielding was
slovenly. Camp did not play. In the
Georgetown game on Friday, Yale did
some fine work and won, by 7 to 2.
Robertson’s fine work in the box, and
the timely batting of Cook, Camp and
Robertson, were the features. In the
game with the Crescent A. C. at the
Field, the work of the Nine was again
below the standard. Yale won, 7 to 5,
but made too many errors, Quinby lead-
ing the list with four. Notwithstanding
the evident drops in the Nine, Yale men,
knowing what splendid material there is
in it, are confident that by Saturday,
Captain Camp will pull his men _ to-
gether in first class baseball form. The
scores of these games will be printed in
another issue, an unusual press of
special matter making it impossible this
time, owing to lack of room.
New Alumni Weekly Quarters,
On or before June 6, the YALE ALUMNI
WEEKLY will change its main office from
6 White Hall to 1016 Chapel St., (Chase
& Co.’s Building). The room at 6
White Hall will be retained as a Cam-
pus office. The new quarters, which are
opposite the Chapel Street entrance to
the Campus, are secured in order to give
room, light and air for the proper trans-
action of the paper’s business. Its loca-
tion will make it more convenient as a
bureau of information for alumni return-
ing to New Haven. They will always
be most welcome there. There will be
a simple reception room, where Univer-
sity and other papers will be on file and
where there will be facilities for letter
writing, telephoning and telegraphing.
The offices of the Yale University
Baseball Association, the Yale Univer-
sity Football Association, the University
Athletic Association and the Boat Club
will be on the same floor (the third).

Woodbridge Hall.
In designing a building appropriate
to hold the executive offices of Yale
University, the architects, Messrs.
Howells & Stokes of New York, have
adopted a style of much _ simplicity,
which yet gains a certain academic
dignity from the full order of. ap-
plied pilasters. If anything, the style
is English, of the kind from which our
Colonial sprang, and the general ma-
terial of white lime stone is modified by
the panels of soft red brick to a senti-
ment in keeping with the older buildings
in our own yniversities in New England
and the South. )
The interior arrangement consists of
a group of offices for the Secretary on
the left of the entrance, and another for
the Treasurer on the right. Above, in
a higher story, are the President’s
offices on one side, and on the other,
the Hall for meetings of the Corpora-
tion. This hall will probably be given
a domed or coffered ceiling, and will
be paneled with hard wood.
Throughout the interior, old ma-
hogany doors will be used, taken from a
residence lately demolished in New
York. The private rooms of the Presi-
dent, Secretary and Treasurer will also
have old marble mantels.
INTERCOLLEGIATE GAMES.
Pennsylvania Easily First — Some
Great Contests—Rain and Mud,
but Splendid Performances—
Yale Surprised Her
Friends.
Weather more unpleasant than that on
both days of the annual Intercollegiate
Track Meet on Columbia Field, New
York, May 25 and 26, was never seen
at a similar meet, but, notwithstanding
the sodden field and the muddy and
slippery track, the performances. were
excellent, with a few exceptions, and two
records were broken. The crowd was the
largest that ever gathered at an inter-
collegiate track meet, a remarkable fact,
considering the cold and stormy weather.
Princeton, hopeful of winning first place,
had the largest delegation, which kept
up nearly constant cheering and singing
throughout the afternoon. Yale made
a poor showing in the audience, a small
body of faithful graduates on the porch
of the Club House giving the only Yale
cheers heard.
Pennsylvania for the fourth successive
year won the championship. This was
accomplished this year in a large
measure by the work of that wonderful
athlete, A. C. Kraenzlein, who was the
star of the entire meeting, carrying off
eighteen points. Before the preliminaries
on Friday afternoon, Princeton had been
picked by some as a possible winner.
On Saturday afternoon their chances
for championship honors were con-
