CORBIN, 1000 CHAPEL ST., New Haven, Conn. (a@s- My Day IN NEW YorK is Thursday Place, Astor House. Time, 12 to 4. Academic Class Book. The Class Book of Nineteen Hundred, edited and published by John W. De- crow, will be shortly put on sale. It is handsomely bound in blue buckram, bevel-edged boards, stamped with gold, and the leaves are gilt-edged. One of the features of the book is a cleverly conceived and written introduction to the book. The various chapters are written by these men: Freshman, H. P. Wickes; Sophomore, C. H.° Draper; Junior, G. M. Shepherd; Senior, T. B. Clarke; Religous history, M. Mills; Educational, WS. (oonm: Nusrat Al]. Baker: Debate. A.D. Leavitt feuc, Ms 45, McBride; Social, R. Stevenson, and Literary, B. Henry. The statistical quesions were, in gen- eral, answered seriously, and give some very interesting information. Of the class of 327 members, 80 will study law; 27 medicine, and 9 theology. Thirty-five mean to go into business, leaving more than half who are undecided in their plans. Harvard Law School attracts 21 of the 80 prospective lawyers; Columbia 16; New York University Law. School 15, afid.ane Yale. Law. school ti, In medicine, 12 men will go to the College of Physicans and Surgeons; 5 to Johns Hopkins, and 3 to the Yale Medical School. The figures show the Class to have been a remarkabie one in the point of self-heip. Fifteen men paid all their expenses through College; fifteen more paid nearly all and 69 helped materially. The princi- pal occupations which brought in the money were: tutoring, editing college publications, advertising work, clerking, managing “eating-joints,’ typewriting, preparing digests, motorman, machinist, proctor, assistant church sexton, church organist and snow shoveling. — There was a steady increase of ex- penses during the four years, the aver- age for Freshman year being $858; Sophomore, $888; Junior, $0972, and Senior, $1,001, These averages ‘are slightly lower than for Io years past, as shown by a carefully compiled table. The lowest expenses for any one year was $75 and the highest $5,670. As a class, the statistician’s figures show that Nineteen Hundred has spent approximately $1,250,000 in New Haven, $250,000 of which went for board; $135,000 for room rent; $209,000 for tui- tion and $35,000 for books. The aver- age price of board was $5.06. The votes give the honor of class beauty to A. G. Fox; handsomest man, R. Stevenson; wittiest and best dressed, 1. By Clarke, J2.> mest. popular, .M.

Vpp. Osborn Hall. ; _ favorite poem. the Faculty this is how the votes stood: Favorite professor, Charlton M. Lewis; tutor, Dr. A. L. Wheeler; best teacher, Professor G. B. Adams; brightest, President Hadley; pleasantest, Profes- sor W. L. Phelps. The strong point of the Class is voted to be temperance—water being the favorite drink—and the weak point is voted “inclination to cliques.” It was generally admitted that the Class had not been remarkably democratic. “Lorna Doone,” still holds its place as the favorite novel, and “Evangeline” as the Jefferson and Maude Adams are the stage favorites. The question, “Have you been arrested during your College course?” brought out the fact that 16 men had been in the lockup, principally on charges of break- ing the peace. One arrest seems pecu- liarly pathetic. The student had taken an early train to New London to see the boat racing with Harvard last June, and when he stepped off the train there he was arrested, as he corresponded exactly to a description of a clever pick- pocket whom the New London police had been warned against. Protesting with all his might, he was nevertheless locked up, and kept, as a dangerous man, till most of the visitors had left the city that evening. The average age of the Class is 23 years 2 months and 5 days and the average weight about 151% pounds. Twenty-two men are over six feet tall. Three hundred and fifty-seven men en- tered College four years ago, of which number 58 dropped out, but as 14 new men entered in September, 3 in Junior and II in Senior years, the Class will eraduate 327 members. SSS eee ee 1900 8. Class Book. The Class Book of Nineteen Hundred Sheff., which was put on sale recently, is one of the neatest and best of its kind yet published from the school. The book committee was R. H. Hawkins, Chairman; H. Allen, H. S Brown and I. E. Burdick. A change from the album form of book to a-size more con- venient for library use is the most pro- nounced change made from last year. The book is bound in dark yellow buck- | ram, and the cuts are from half-tones instead of gelatine prints, giving a sharper impression. Much attention has been given to making the personal his- tories complete. In the opinion of the Class, J. Ireland is the most popular; E. A. Strong is the handsomest; 1. E. Burdick is most likely to succeed; E.’H. Clark is most prominent; O. Schell is most to be ad- mired; H. Webster is most versatile; C.. T. Dudley is the best athlete. . The Sheff rush has proved the most amus- ing incident of the course. C. T. Dud- ley has been honored as the member of the Class who has done the most for Yale, while Chauncey M. Depew, ’56, is considered the most prominent Yale graduate, with Professor Brewer, ’52 5., the most prominent Sheff. graduate. Sixty-nine men in the Class are Republi- cans, and sixteen Gold Democrats, with the remainder of the men scattered. The average expenditures per year have been about $900. In athletics ten men have the honor of wearing “Y’s.”’ The pleasantest event in the course was the victory of the Freshman Football Team over the Princeton Freshman, while the most unpleasant was the defeat by Princeton last Fall. The voting on the Faculty was fairly unanimous. Professor Brewer is the most broad-minded, most popular, and brightest. Professor Hastings is the most polished, most sarcastic, neatest, and handsomest. Professor Corwin and Dr. Granville are tied for best teacher ; Mr. C. Clark is the easiest to recite to, the kindest and the pleasantest. a Ninety-One Addresses.
