It is simply impossible to put a nine

before.
This is not said simply to get up a
good score for Yale, or win what is
called a championship. What rests up-
on Yale to do now, is to show herself a
loyal college, true to her best traditions
and not one where the principal thing
that is encouraged is futile and small
fault-finding. There is nothing more im-
portant for the health of Yale than that
the same spirit should be shown this
month as was shown last Fall after the
Columbia game. It is therefore not a
time for men to say: “The Nine is all
right and will do its best,” or “I have my
other interests and can’t afford the time.”
or “I am rather hard up and can’t afford
the railroad fare.” It is a time to show
at any cost that one is a loyal ‘man.

satisfactory to know that not only are
the average expenses decreasing, as the
figures printed in the WEEKLY in Janu-
ary show, but that the opportunities are
still open for paying one’s own expenses
at Yale and that they are largely taken
advantage of. The character of the men
who go through Yale in this way con-
tinues high, and their position among
their fellows is all that the most demo-

The Yale Lit.
[E. B. R. in Yale News.]
It is not generally known how much
work is being done for the Lit. For the
current number some one hundred and
sixty pieces were submitted, a remark-
able showing. Ten years ago that would
have been impossible, not because the
University was smaller, but because the
Lit. did not attract many writers. It is
safe to say that never before has the
magazine aroused so much interest in
the college, and it is a pleasure to reflect
at the close of the year’s work, that our
“oldest college periodical in America,”
far from having outlived its usefulness,
is entering upon a second youth.

The Society Problem and
Athletics.
[Walter Camp in May Outing.)
But the point upon which athletics
and the societies must inevitably always
touch is that of the election of man-
agers. Here it becomes a question of
votes, and as there grew up some
measure of feeling between non-society
and society men, it was more and more
apparent that sooner or later the non-
society element would make up for
what they felt to be the exclusiveness
of the societies by taking care that repre-
sentatives of the societies should not
enjoy gifts in the way of offices which.
lay in the vote of the class.
The manager of any one of the four
great organizations of football, baseball,
boating, and track athletics at New Ha-
ven is elected by a university meeting
where each member of the University
has a vote. The duties of that manager
are widely spread and of the greatest
importance to the University in an ath-
letic sense. It is imperative, therefore,
that he be an able and representative
man. Anything like putting these offices
in the hands of men lacking ability means
suicide for Yale’s athletic interests, and
it is here that the first results of the
conflict are likely to appear. As to the
general effect of the societies upon ath-
letics in the way of selection of teams,
interest, and patriotism, there is little
to say. There will always be social
reward for successful men, whether in
a circumscribed community like that of
a college, or in the larger one of the
world. But when any directory is very
much torn by dissension, the manager
which the directors elect is not always
sure of being the best man for the
place, and it is upon that problem that
Yale men—both society and non-society
—are at work, and a successful solution
is neither impossible nor improbable.
Moreover, the admission of an influ-
ence outside the University, which usu-
ally follows a long-continued disagree-
ment within, is a difficult factor in any
athletic question. A disagreement means
the dragging all sorts of questions into
publicity—not the publicity of the col-
lege community, but of the general pub-
lic. Any habitual invitation to the pub-
lic to take a hand in college quarrels
means dissolution, for it means substi-
tuting for the college judgment and
standards the judgment of a public too
hurried and too busy to be always fair.
That view every faction in a college com-
munity shouid consider before carrying
all the details of their problems to an
outside tribunal for settlement, and this
the Yale committee appreciates, while
Yale undergraduates and graduates are
proverbially slow to argue their affairs
in the newspapers or to request the pub-
lic to act as judge.

The Magdalena River Colonization Company,
which owns 300,000 acres on the Magdalena River,
in the United States of Colombia, has determined
to subdivide the same into 20, 40, 50 and 1@0-acre
farms, and sell the same at $5 per acre, payable $1
per acre cash, and $1 per acre in x, 2, 3 and 4 years,
without interest. The Climate, soil and produc-
tions are the same as Southern California, to which
is added all tropical fruits, such as Oranges, Lemons,
Limes, Pine Apples, Grape Fruit, Grapes, Pears,
Cocoa, Rubber trees, Ginsing root, Tobacco, etc.
There will be some of the best farmers from Switz-
erland, France, Germany, Italy, England, Canada,
and from many of our United States. Some New
England farmers already located. The colony has
a frontage of 25 miles on the Magdalena River,
with steamers running from there to Cartagena and
Bananquilla several times a week. We expect to
have at least five hundred settlers located in one
year. For furcher information address,
