which was principally emphasized in re-
gard to the WEEKLY was that it was,
or should be, the paper in which all
parts of the University have an inter-
est, and which belongs to all Yale men.
They were urged to treat it as their
own paper, to make any criticism or sug-
gestion which they desired, and to seek
any information concerning it which
might interest them. Passing from the
paper as one that sought to stand for all
interests of the University, the first

speaker followed the suggestion of the
toastmaster and put forward, as a point
especially appropriate in that connec-
tion, and one which it was time for all
Yale men to consider very seriously, the
necessity of Yale uniting her forces and
supporting without dissent her chosen
leaders, in all matters in which the Uni-
versity at large was interested, as against
any antagonist or rival. The other
speakers of the evening took up this
point with a great deal of success and
those present responded to such. sug-
gestions with much enthusiasm.
Mr. George A. Welch, Chairman of
the Yale News, responding for that
paper, congratulated the WEEKLY on the
necessity of its seeking larger quarters
and expressed regret on the part of the
News that it was to leave the old rooms
which it had shared with that paper.
The hope was expressed that the two
papers should continue in close alliance
in all Yale work.
Mr. Clark, editor of the Hartford
Courant, after responding in kind to the
stimulating raillery of the toastmaster,
paid a very feeling tribute to the strength
‘and sweetness of the Yale life which he
had known and to the evidences of its
permanence in the company which he
saw before him.
Mr. Preston Kumler,
ALUMNI WEEKLY’s staff, responded for
the undergraduates. He expressed his
regret that anything had seemed to be
out of true with Yale life. He was con-
fident that the men in Yale to-day were
as interested in her and devoted to her
as ever and he thought that they wished
to follow the lead of the alumni and
‘cooperate with them in all good work.
These sentiments were very warmly re-
ceived. |
Prof. Wheeler, responding for. “The
Yale Education,” very. beautifully ex-
pressed his affection for Yale and his
‘belief that she was as sound and true
‘to herself as ever. He thought that
any embarrassment had been consequent
upon the rapid increase of members,
faster than the ability of the College to
adjust itself to the new conditions. He
commended the struggle and discipline
of the old régime. 3
Mr. Walter Camp, ’80, expressed
the conclusion of the whole matter in
a short and very telling speech, in which
he pressed home upon all a sense of
individual responsibility for all Univer-
sity interests.
A very interesting feature of the din-
‘ner was the presence for a considerable
time of Mr. Camp, the Captain of the
Baseball Nine, and Messrs. Keator and
Trudeau, who were in New Haven with
him. Mr. Camp was given a long cheer
with great enthusiasm on coming and on
oing. |

dent Hadley, in which he emphasized
the importance of an alumni paper, in
order to realize the proper relations of
graduates to the place. Dr. Hartwell of
New York sent his regrets by wire at
the last moment.
During the evening, Dr: George P.
Fisher, Dean of the Divinity School,
responded extemporaneously in a very
choice speech to the call of the toast-
master. He dwelt on the importance of
the University idea and expressed his
pleasure at meeting such a representa-
tive company of Yale men. He was
obliged to leave the dinner before it was
over and just following Mr. Camp, Cap-
tain of the Nine. Col. Osborn thereupon
called for a long cheer for “Captain
Fisher of the Divinity School,” and it
was given with unusual enthusiasm.
During the evening also, Prof. Corwin
was called upon extemporaneously. He
answered very charmingly and very
cordially.

UNDERGRADUATE GERMAN CLUB.
The First Wear Wery Successful—A
Bright Outlook.
In May, 1899, a number of men from
the Yale Academic Class of 1900 or-
ganized the German Club for the pur-
pose of studying various aspects of
German life; such as business, politics,
national traits, science, military system,
literature, art, music and the drama.
The officers elected were: President,
Maurice P. Gould; Vice-President,
John M. Hopkins; Secretary and Treas-
urer, T. Walter Swan. Practically all
the proceedings of the Club are carried
“Gemiitlichkeit” is the
thing sought for. in addition to the
practical knowledge obtained, and is
attained through the singing of German
student songs, the serving of light re-
freshments and a general informality.
During the past year several important
events have occurred. In November
the Club celebrated the one hundred and
fortieth anniversary of Schiller. The
speakers were Professor Gustav Gruener
and Messrs. Baker, Gould, Hausberg
and Swan. Mr. H. A. Farr exhibited
numerous “Schiller” pictures.
At the January meeting Dr. E. B.
Reed’s address on “Scholarship in Ger-
man Universities” brought a most inter-
esting message to Yale men. He
showed how much more advanced Ger-
man students were, in their special line
of work at graduation, than are Ameri-
cans. He also showed how much
greater opportunity German professors
are given for original work, six hours
being the average amount of work per
week required from them, whereas
American professors averaged about
twelve to fifteen hours per week.
The February meeting was especially
valuable. Professor John C. Schwab
spoke on the “Materialistic Elements in
German Culture.” He traced _ the
growth of commercialism in Germany
since the Franco-Prussian war of 1870,
seen more particularly in the movements
of population towards cities, the rise of
the newly-rich class, the swinging away
from the old high ideals to the grossly
materialistic. He showed how German
universities had checked the domination
of this spirit and were bringing Ger-
many back to her old nobility of thought
and character. Then he drew a striking
parallel between their work and the
opportunity which Yale possesses.
Nearly forty per cent. of Yale graduates
enter business. These are to produce
more and more the “saving ideal” in
American life if Yale is true to herself
and to her country.
The most notable event of the year
was the public address, under the aus-
pices of the German Club in the Art
School, of Mr. Heinrich Conried, dis-
tinguished actor, art patron and manager
of the Irving Place Theater, New York
City. The subject of the lecture was
“The Stage.” It was a brilliant descrip-
tion, in German, of a modern play from
the time the manuscript reaches the
manager’s hands until the curtain falls
on the last act of its production. He
compared the German and American
stage. He made plain the degenerate
elements in the American stage which
ought to be disapproved and shunned.
He also pointed the higher ideals from
which hope of true artistic progress is
to come. Immediately after the lecture,
the Club gave a kneipe in honor of Mr.
Conreid, at which enjoyable affair an
invitation was accepted to attend Mr.
Conreid’s presentation of Goethe's
“Iphegenie aur Touris” at the Irving
Place Theater. Professor Perrin ac-
companied the Club to New York on
this trip.
The outlook for the German Club
next year is full of promise. Mr. Con-
reid has offered to come to New Haven
with his Irving Place Theater Stock
Company and produce, at his own ex-
pense, under the auspices of the Club, ~
any one of a number of classic German
plays. It is also proposed to investi-
gate a number of subjects of current
interest, such as (1) The Political
