Rooms can only be engaged for two nights, and at the rate of $1.00 per night. As was announced in the first circu- lar, every member of the Class is ex- pected, whether he can attend the re- union or not, to subscribe $5.00 to cover the general expenses of the Class meet- ing, the expenses of the Class Secretary and the cost of the Sexennial record, while for those who attended the dinner an additional $5.00 will be charged. The success of the Sexennial reunion depends on your making every effort to come yourself and persuade the men around you to come. Frank L. Polk, Letchworth Smith, James Crosby Brown, Committee.

The Yale Library has recently re- ceived, as a gift from G. Clinton Wil- liams, Yale ’47, a volume of the Mer- curius Politicus (1650-1660), which is next to the last in the set, being printed about a month before the return of Charles II. An interesting fact about the volume is that it was’ evidently at one time one of the set which has been in the possession of the Yale Library for some years. A full set of this work is now held by Yale and the British Museum together, the Yale Library hav- ing the fifty-five volumes which the Museum lacks. ~~ Downer McCord, 1901, has been ap- pointed Manager of the Gymnastic As- sociation for the coming year.

Clark University. {Hartford Courant.] It is now perfectly clear that Clark University, such as Dr. Hall and his scholarly coadjutors have made it, was to the last a puzzle and a disappoint- ment to its founder. His pet idea, as it lay in his own mind, was to provide a place where poor boys could get a suf- ficient education at a cheap rate. He started out to do at Worcester what Mr. Cornell had done at Ithaca. An insti- tution for graduates only, devoted to original research, was something he did not understand and that did not appeal to him. He died unreconciled to it. SCHOOLS.
