Greek Refinements
By WILLIAM HENRY GOODYEAR, M.A.
The Boston Transcript describes the above volume as "the most important contribution to the
history of Art and Archaeology made in a decade." The author has given his life to a study of the
significance of the beauty of Greek Architecture and architectural refinements generally. He shovps
in a. reasonable and highly interesting fashion the means by which the Greeks achieved their results.
Upon the publication of this work the American Institute of Architects appointed a special com
mittee to investigate the subject of Mr. Goodyear's research. Their report was in part as follows: —
" From Professor Goodyear's work we glimpse, as it were, these secrets, and we believe that it is by such work,
and only by such work, that they may ultimately, in whole or in part, be revealed for practical use. So, though we can
not say who will build the laws, or reconstitute them, nor when, we are assured that the material for such illuminating
rediscovery and revival cannot be too fully or too painstakingly assembled ; that its value is beyond our powers of calcu
lation.''

The Week

"Lettres" Doubtless it is worth the while of the college
WITHOUT THE man, at least the one who has yet to choose
"Belles ?" his course in life, to consider whether there
is anything, and if so how much, in the blight
ing criticism which Ambassador Page, until now considered
one of the successful litterateurs of his time, recently gave
against his own profession. In short, is the business of writ
ing one against which to warn every young man and woman?
Is the "belles" in "belles lettres" misplaced, except in the
academic and artistic sense? The large and growing list of
college graduates after whose names in the catalogues are
placed the once respected italics "lit.," forms an impressive
reason why these questions count. And, after all, isn't the
length of the list its own answer? The voice of Ambassador
Page, telling us that there is starvation instead of a decent
living in writing, seems to come out of a former age. The
opposing fact is that never did the profession of worth-while
writing have greater prestige, never were its rewards as
great, as now. Some of the least deserving seem to get the
most out of it, it is true, but the time is past when an ungrate
ful world left without reward the man who had something
to tell, and told it well. Never was there such a demand for
worthy literary production. Never was there so much room
at the top. The profession is not overcrowded, except with
those who have no business in it. If Mr. Page meant to
shoo off this class of people, his intention was good, even if
his method seems to have missed. His contemporaries at
home confidently expect that when he has opportunity he will
revise or at least interpret his remarks in a way that will
materially change the impression. Whatever he meant to say,
his profession is not one to shun. Its call to the man of
standards and with something to say was never as insistent
as it is to-day. •P * * *!* T*
The Graduates returning for Commencement will see the
Bowl Bowl on the new playing fields nearly completed, so
far as its exterior is concerned, and will be informed
by the committees in charge that it will be ready for the
Harvard football game next November. The financial situa
tion, however, — considering it in the large, — is still open to
improvement. The collections toward the $700,000 ultimately
necessary, if Yale undergraduates are to have a great modern
playground, are still behind the amount which graduate
interest in the project ought to make possible. Here is a
prime benefit to future generations of undergraduates, appeal
ing strongly to all Yale men who in their own college days
felt the need of general athletic facilities. This appeal must
be translated into cash gifts if the plan is to materialize. As
to the Bowl itself, which is only one pirt of this large scheme,
the probability is now very stronjg that it will be so built as

to include a full track-athletic equipment, the Committee of
TweJity-one having hospitably received the protests of the
track men against building the structure for football only.
We presented this question in this place last fall. On the
general theory of what a great permanent athletic stand
should be to the University, it seems to us self-evident that
its use should not be confined to one sport during one brief
period of ten weeks at the beginning of the University year.
The practical difficulties in the way of incorporating track
athletics in the Bowl, of course, are serious; but they are
certainly not insurmountable. The high importance of mak
ing the Bowl investment return dividends to the largest
number of undergraduates is so vital a matter, we think, that
the two committees to which the question has now finally
been referred will do a very large service to the whole future
of Yale undergraduate sports if they find a way to solve
the problem, and put track athletics in the Bowl. It is merely
a question of engineering, and we have full faith that the
way will be found. *****
For Class With the appearance some two weeks ago .of the
Solidarity Academic Senior Class in white sailor jumpers,
the University highways and byways took on
an unusual touch of color. Uniform as to appearance,
the fourth-year, men are gratefully finding new common inter
ests and are rapidly becoming a social unit, moved by a sense
of solidarity which has never before during their course at
Colle ,e been so marked. As the guests of the News and the
Record, the Junior Class recently foregathered at a Class
smoker, coming away with the conviction that the Class of
1915, individually and collectively, is the best aggregation of
young American manhood ever gathered together. In a day
of classes too large to be won easily to the intense class
spirit and sense of unity that characterized earlier and
smaller classes, this ought to be regarded as good news. The
Senior and Junior classes in the College just fall short of 300
each, the Sophomores number well over 350, and the Fresh
men started the year with nearly 450 enrolled. In Sheflf the
classes are about equal in size, the Juniors outnumbering their
contemporaries in Academic, and the Freshman Class falling
below the College Freshmen in numbers. How distinct and
perplexing is the social rift in Sheff classes was indicated in
a letter recently printed in the Alumni Weekly regarding the
191 1 S. Triennial plans. There, apparently, the problem is not
so easy of solution. In the College, a few far-sighted under
graduates have made the interesting discovery that any class,
in spite of its human tendency to form into cliques, can be
led into the ways of solidarity, if only the leader with the
required tact, sympathy, and judgment that make for leader
ship can be found. Now that the matter has been demon
strated, there is no reason for pulling a long face over the
size of present-day Yale classes.

Prize Speaking

By G. F. I.

Many will regard this as a subj ect to be treated humorously.
Harking back to their own undergraduate days they will
recall the spouting and the flow of language, the thunders
of other people's ideas, which issued from young men who
addressed numerous empty seats and a few friends in such a
place as Lampson Lyceum. Most deluded and ludicrous of
all, perhaps, is some such person as the writer,, who continues
to attend these prize speaking contests year after year, when
ever he can, although under no compulsion to do so. He
lacks even the excuse of those members of the Faculty
dragged there to be judges, amid gnashing of teeth. No one
knows why we go, least of all ourselves. Have we not heard
that eloquence has gone the way of astrology, of necromancy,
and that in a community of high culture raised to a scientific
attitude of mind, there can be none eloquent, no not one.
It is necessarily amusing, then, to see these young men,
Seniors, in cap and gown, mount to the platform and bespeak
the praise of American Poetry, or The Yale Man's Heritage;
to argue sweeping changes in Criminal Law Procedure; to
arouse the Church to Social Responsibility; to urge Faculty
and Fraternity into a Revival of Learning. These are by way
of example, subjects taken from any year's DeForest Prize
Speaking Contest. We have no intention of criticising the
speakers on such an occasion ; enough that they have inspired
this very amusing little essay. Their fulminations melt
readily into the limbo of things we all have heard before.
Their bodies, their voices, their flashing eyes, fuse into types
that stand there haranguing forever on memory's platform.
The future lawyer stands before us now, commanding
attention. How his voice rings (a little above the natural)
as if he were addressing, nay, charging, the jury, while the
crowded court room hangs on his word! Are the seats
empty, as usual, in Lampson Lyceum? It matters not while
the young advocate orates. Justice he will have, for all men,
and swift punishment for crime. See how his gestures
enforce now this point and now that. Observe that sweeping
gesture of his right arm, oft repeated, by which he eradicates
in the brief space of fifteen minutes, the ineradicable intrica
cies of the law. He is done ! Let us applaud. He has done
well. We do not remember a word he said, but the spirit,
the fire in his voice ! What would we not all give to have his
youth, his undaunted vision. ,
An apostle of poetry, of literature, has gained the stage.
How eloquent his eyes ! Much have they run on books. In
his attitude we sense something of defiance, as if he knew
his cause would get scant hearing in this empty hall. Of
gesticulation there is little. He would direct his message
straight to the mind without embellishment. Or rather, since
his subject is poetry, he would be simple in his prose, cor
rect, severe. Lacking logic in his text, he would argue points
for poetry by the most orderly plan, rising at length to that
one burst of eloquence by which he would disclose his vision.
Behold him raise his black mortar-board and bow. (Ap
plause.) The apostle of poetry has scarcely reached his seat, when
up comes the youth of ministerial mien. Determined he is,
and not quite natural either. You wonder who it is from
whom he borrows the tone of voice, a pulpit cadence in it.
And then his voice becomes his own, and you know he is
sincere. You note next his angularity and that he stands
flatly on his feet, "four-square to all the winds that blow."
If you lose, for a moment, the thread of his sustained argu
ment, you have paused to consider whether or not he would
rise on his toes, if unconsciously he should grasp his coat
lapels. And then the sheer earnestness of his appeal drives
the trivial from your mind, while you applaud perhaps more
than you ought at his conclusion.
Which of the remaining three comes next in mortar-board
to the platform? Probably, the youth who would sing the
praises of old Yale, sounding the muster roll of great names,
which cannot fail to stir the blood. Or the stalwart young

man who decries athletics, social prestige, and all that, while
lambasting student and Faculty for lack of interest in learn
ing. Abas pedantry, athleticism, dilletantism ! Come oflyour
perch, professor, cries the Prize Speaker, in effect. Cforae
out of your cells, societies and fraternities ! Let us have a
revival of learning. It takes courage and brains to frame a
prize oration on this subject. The orator may not speak of
scholarship without authority. He may not wisely deride the
athlete unless his own shoulders pass muster. His oration
must declare itself the product of a disciplined mind, com
bining daring and restraint. Of course, we applaud. We
feel it is for this oration that we came. An evening of prize
speaking at Yale would not be complete without it. But we
have yet to hear the one other orator who is seldom absent.
The last speaker who comes to mind comes cloaked in a
little brief authority with the gabardine of history. Look
back into the past, he tells us, sternly, and you will see that
there is no use getting excited about anything. In other
times, long ago, other people fought and bled for these prin
ciples which move our little world now. And what good did
it do? He pauses while we listen apprehensively, cowed.
We confess to ourselves that he is right, that it does no good
to get enthusiastic about anything. And curiously enough we
applaud his speech energetically, as if to prove to ourselves
that we are more than insects by token of the noise we make
beating our wings in the void.
Then the judges leave the room to confer. Presently their
decision is announced. If the winner happens to be the man
of our choice, we pat ourselves on the back and betake us off
into the night, cheerfully. If he is not, we marvel at the
prejudices which betray judges, and go shufiling out. Either
we must give up our scientific attitude of mind and admit
that we may have been prejudiced or we cling to it and run
the risk of finding justice a fickle creature, the sport of men's
ignoble infirmities.
And then we come abruptly to the question why stentorian
tones have been propelled for two hours through a half empty
lyceum. Have we heard anything new? We confess we
have heard no more than we might have heard at a session
of Congress. In fact, we heard many of the phrases that
come foaming to the lips of many ready utterers of things
trite, incontestable evidence that the speaker has borrowed his
plumes of thought. But what of that? It was what we
expected. It must be for some other reason we have prize
speaking. The orators will pardon me if I explain anything so obvi
ous. Prize speaking at Yale continues because we make
much of the fact that Yale trains men for public service.
And obviously, a man is the more efficient for public service
who can so express himself in public as to get his message
across. It is for this, presumably, that young men mount the
platform of Lampson Lyceum. They are there to express
themselves and to impress their personalities upon their audi
tors. Obviously, it is for this also that two-thirds of the
seats in Lampson are empty on such an occasion. By such
means the young man eloquent is put to the severest test.
For if he can impress his personality upon chair backs, he
will have prepared himself by experience for that mastery
which is said to find its most picturesque expression in the
halls of Congress. Only one thing remains to be touched
upon lightly, humorously, that precious fire of youth at which
many an old hand would eagerly warm itself. In former days,
the prize speakers declaimed between those stirring disserta
tions by brass bands which drew a crowd to whatever spot
was then reserved at Yale. It is left for the few now to take
their seats in the echoing hall and sit straining to catch the
notes of youthful fervor flung impetuously from the platform
of immaturity. It is for this, we confess, that we still go
to these prize speaking contests, whenever it is convenient to
attend. And, as Patrick Henry would say, if this be
humorous, make the most of it.

No. 77, THE PRESENTATION IN THE TEMPLE, Probably by Giorgione (i476?-i5ii)
One of the most valuable paintings in the Jarves Collection
The Jarves Collection
By Professor FRANK JEWETT >IATHER, Jr.
of Princeton University
Famous in Europe, the Jarves Collection has had unde
served neglect at home, though it was an American, James
Jackson Jarves, who collected the pictures, and an American
critic, William Rankin in the Journal of ArchcBology, who first
studied the collection in the light of modern connoisseurship.
Indeed, neglect has been the portion of this remarkable col
lection from the first. Between 1850 and i860, Jarves, one
of the first cosmopolitan Americans, brought together about
one hundred and sixty pictures to represent the development
of the greatest of schools of painting. It was his hope to sell
the gallery so tha.t it should serve as a museum and means
of culture to his fellow countrymen. To this end, the pictures
were exhibited in New York and Boston. But the hour for
such pictures had not yet come. Despite the support of
Charles Eliot Norton and others, Jarves's "wry-necked
Madonnas" excited only a mild surprise and displeasure.
He had put most of his little fortune into the venture and '
was forced to get out as best he might. His friend, the
late L. E. Holden of Cleveland, Ohio, advanced him mone}/
on the security of about a third of the pictures, Yale Univer
sity on the more important two-thirds. By his consent, tlae
loan was foreclosed. It was one of the most irregular pierces
of University finance on record and certainly one of the m ost
brilliant. In less than fifty years Yale's portion of the Ja^rves
collection has multiplied just about two hundred folid in
market value. It strikes an outsider oddly that there is still
no better catalogue than Jarves himself could compile iyi the
prescientific days as regards art studies, i860, and alscS that
valuable pictures are suffering from want of repair that a
trifling sum would effect.
Note. — It should surprise no one that the attributions hfjre given
frequently do not agree with those in the official catalogue. . It was
compiled forty-six years ago, by Russell Sturgis from Jarv es's notes,
and meanwhile much light has been cast upon the pictures th irough the
researches of William Rankin, Bernhard Berenson, Osyald Siren and
others. I give, in the main, their results, while retaining , the cata
logue numbers for purposes of identification.
These,' one himdred and twenty pictures constitute one of
the cornpletest and most representative series of Italian pic
tures b/etween the year 1250 and 1500 existing in the world.
The f amous galleries of Europe naturally excel the Jarves
in m:asterpieces within this period, but none except the gal-
leries of London, Berlin, and Florence, in representative
chanlcter. Besides the Jarves Collection contains almost no
trasb and boasts four or five pieces of a beauty and rarity
exceptional anywhere. Its importance is out of all ratio to its
nunnbers or even to its handful of. superlative examples.
M.atthew Arnold warns us against the "historical fallacy,"
valuing a poor thing merely because it is a link in a develop
ment, but Jarves managed to illustrate the development of
"Italian paintings by uncommonly good pictures. It is for
tunate that he died a bachelor. Had he left children, Yale
would morally owe them the price of two or three stadiums.
As it is, the money locked up in the Jarves Collection would
endow modestly a dozen or so professorships. I am rather
ashamed- to advertise things that are beautiful by such com
parisons, but to make the stadium the common denominator
between professors by the dozen and art objects of great
beauty, may help to emphasize my point, that the Jarves
Collection is one of Yale's most precious possessions. A
mere classification of the pictures will establish the point
clearly. the collection
Of those rude Byzantine and semi-Byzantine pictures which
were produced between 12.SO and 1300, in that morning twi
light before the rise of Giotto's sun, the Jarves Collection
has twelve. To the average man these are not good to look
at. Their quality is of the severe sort. To the art historian
some are beautiful and all are important. The tooth of time
and more destructive neglect have almost wholly destroyed
this art. Surviving examples are of the highest rarity. Yale
has more than any European Museum except the Academies

of Florence and Siena. All types are represented in the
Jarves Collection, big altar frontals and backs, diptychs, trip-
tychs ; church pieces and those made for the private chamber
or oratory. the fourteenth century GOTHIC SERIES
Giotto's century, 1300 to 1400, is represented in the Jarves
Collection by some twenty-three numbers. This is the great
period of Gothic painting. In quality and quantity within
this particular field, the Yale Art School is just about on a
par with the National Gallery, London, the Louvre, and the
Kaiserfriedrich Museum at Berlin. The Gothic altarpiece, or
ancona, was generally in several tabernacled compartments.
Usually these big compositions have been broken up and the
panels scattered. The Jarves Collection is fortunate in having
several altar backs with all the panels in place. From these
one may get an idea of the decorative splendor of pictures pri
marily devotional. Naturally much of this work is for us
anonymous. But Yale possesses an excellent example of Tad-
deo Gaddi (No. 17), Giotto's godson and pupil. The subject is
a Deposition from the Cross. Far more important are a
grim St. Peter and St. John the Baptist (Nos. 25, 26) from
the brush of Andrea Orcagna, sculptor and painter, who
carried into the second half of the Fourteenth Century the
severity and nobility of Giotto's style. Much softer and rnore
attractive is a little Assumption of the Virgin, merely ascribed
to the Sienese School (No. 3S). The Apotheosis of the
Virgin was a theme that Siena, whose official protectress
Mary was, made peculiarly her own. For a hundred and
fifty years after 1350 the subject, exceptional elsewhere, was
common in Siena. There is no more beautiful example than
this by an unknown master, reverently ecstatic in sentiment,
radiantly lovely in its commingling of pale tempera hues with
gold. Of course, few of the Fourteenth Century pic
tures measure up to the Orcagnas and to this little
contemporary masterpiece (its date will be about 1350,
its author a devout follower of the brothers Loren-
zetti), but all the pictures of this period are interesting
and desirable. It speaks for Jarves's taste, and orig
inality that he assiduously collected this delightful
Gothic art at a time when it was generally neglected
both by critics and amateurs.
THE EARLY FIFTEENTH CENTURY
The Fifteenth Century, which Vassari described as
a sort of delightful youth of Italian art, is represented
by more than forty pictures. These include two very
important groups : first a remarkable series of Sienese
panels by such masters as Sassetta, Sano di Pietro,
Benvenuto di Giovanni, Francesco di Giorgio and
Girolamo di Benvenuto; next, a fine collection of
those decorative narrative pieces which the wealthy
Florentines ordered for the adornment of wedding
chests {cassoni) and wainscotting. Before treating
these two notable groiips, it should be said that the
entire development of the Florentine school is exem
plified on the walls, though usually by minor works.
A very important work is Hercules and Nessus by
Antonio Pollaiuolo (No. 64), painted after 1460. The^
athletic tension of the gaunt figures, the panoramic
landscape and rushing stream— one easily recognizes
the Arno Valley — are highly characteristic of that
breath of severe experimentalism which carne into
Florentine painting with the advent of Antonio. He
was more of a sculptor than a painter, and as both a
daemonic force. Signorelli and Michelangelo stem
from him. Signorelli appears in the Jarves Collection
in a delightful little panel full of an idyllic mood
rare in the master. The little Adoration of the Magi
(No. 67) was a panel from an altarbase (predeUa).
The kings are humble worshippers without sacrifice
of aristocratic poise. The color is a sharp and inter
esting arrangement of amber-like browns and yellows
against a keen blue. Though of Umbrian birth and
chiefly active there, Signorelli is the inheritor of Pol-
laiuolo's dynamic realism and must be regarded as
more Florentine than most Florentines.

Outside of Florence and the two groups mentioned above,
the Jarves Collection boasts several rare or important pictures.
A little Nativity ascribed to Squarcione (No. 55), but really
by Girolamo da Cremona, is interesting as a rustic adaptation
of the Roman manner worked out by Mantegna. The little
picture is rapturously affected but delightful in its very exag
gerations, withal most rich in color. Girolamo was chiefly
a miniaturist and only half a dozen large works by him are
known. Almost equally rare and far more imposing is the ^x''
stately Madonna (No. 39) which bears the signature of
Gentile da Fabriano. Through his master, Alegretto Nuzi,
Gentile was an inheritor of the Gothic idealism of the two
great Sienese brothers, Pietro and Ambruogio Lorenzetti.
This style Gentile broadened and humanized on his own
account. Early in the Fifteenth Century he was called to
Venice to decorate the ducal palace. This was the beginning
of a triumphal progress that ended only at Rome. At Venice
he took on a likely assistant, Jacopo Bellini, who through
his sons Gentile and Giovanni became the real inau-
gurator of the Venetian School. Gentile's Madonna in the
Jarves Collection, were it not for the signature, might almost
be taken for a Jacopo Bellini, so completely Venetian is its
magisterial and matronly accent. It was probably painted
.about 1420. It has been more splfendid as color, but still
remains a lovely and impressive work. The stone espalier
with pomegranates growing in the interstices was a sort of
supererogatory adornment that Gentile loved, and a gener
ation of Venetians after him.
THE LATE FIFTEENTH CENTURY
The most consistent group of pictures in the Jarves Collec
tion is the handful of Sienese panels dating a little before and

No. 67. THE ADORATION OF THE MAGI
By Signorelli (Early Fifteenth Century)

after the middle of the Fifteenth Century. Stefano di
Giovanni, nicknamed Sassetta, has been rescued from oblivion
chiefly through the zeal of Mr. Berenson. Sassetta is at times
called the Era Angelico of the Sienese School, but the un
doubted compliment does less than justice to his raciness.
There is no more naively sincere interpreter of those religious
legends which contained much of human nature. A little
masterpiece of the sort is The Temptatioii of St. Anthony
(No. 48). The solitude of the spot, the suddenness of the
intrusion of the sullen little demon girl, and the agitation
of the aged hermit are admirably caught. There is a sub-
humorous quality about the incident that is admirable. Two
other good legends by Sassetta are Nos. S3 and S4- Sano di
Pietro, Sassetta's pupil and successor, is a far more stolid
talent, but a most capable craftsman and at his best a sprightly
story teller. This novellistic capacity is best shown in the
long predella, depicting the Adoration of the Magi with pre
liminary scenes from their star-led journey (No. 49). His
ability as a combiner of colors and gold is well shown in the
Coronation of the Virgin (No. 50). The Sienese masters of the
second half of the century ignored the realistic reforms that
were recreating the art of nearby Florence, and gave them
selves to an extreme refinement and prettiness which merely
continued the old Gothic manner. A very fine example of
this dainty style is the Madonna with Lilies by Benvenuto da
Siena (No. 57). There is considerable flavor of the classical
Renaissance in the charming lunette of the Annunciation by

Francesco di Giorgio of Siena (No. 65). The ultimate deli
cacy of Sienese tempera color is shown in the salver Love
bound by Maidens (No. 71) by Girolamo da Benvenuto. This
must have been painted quite at the end of the century, but
its graceful mannerisms are all of the past.
Throughout the Fifteenth Century it was the practice to
set elaborate painted panels in the fronts of trousseau chests
and in the backs of box seats. Generally the gilded chests
became defaced and broken up, while the pictorial panels were
often kept as curiosities. Of these the Jarves Collection has
half a dozen capital examples. The earliest (No. 38) repre
sents a Garden of Love and the initiation and union of two
lovers. It is a flowery mead, with a fountain, dancing lads
and lasses, knights and ladies, and visions of the amours of
the pagan gods. The picture was painted by some follower
of Masaccio not long after 1430 and is chiefly interesting as
a pictorial commentary on such pastoral allegories as we
have in the "Roman de la Rose" and .Boccaccio's "Visione
Amorosa." Two panels (Nos. 43, 4) show with infinite
vivacity and relish the perilous adventures of .Eneas frem
the shipwreck off Libya to his entrance to Latium. Nothing
could be better in a fairy story way than the shipwreck, the
hunt, or the meeting with a most dapper and ladylike hunt
ress, Venus. A less amusing, but decor.atively quite splendid
panel from the same shop is The Visit of the Queen of Sheba
to Solomon (No. 69). Since the theme symbolized the pur
suit of wisdom it was appropriately set as an example on

YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY

the trousseau chest of a bride. Of different interest is the
animated picture of that strenuous but bloodless pastime,
jousting in the Square of Florence (No. 45). The partic
ular square, the Piazza of Santa Croce, is recognizable; the
confusion of the melee, the excitement of the male specta
tors, the Olympian detachment of the fair onlookers in the
palace balconies are ably combined into an extraordinarily
true and vivid page of Florentine history. The four panels
already noted may have been painted about 1450-60.- The
Story of Actseon (No. 82) is of somewhat late and sophis
ticated type, perhaps as late as 1490. Jacopo del Sellaio is
probably the author. The painter follows Ovid closely, and
tells of the moment when poor Actseon, most innocent and
cfuelly entreated of peeping Toms, glances in the fountain and
is aware that what is on his shoulders is no longer his own

head. We are spared more than the preliminaries of the
onslaught of the hounds. The whole picture anticipates the
mood of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Shakespere might
have got the notion for his Bottom from a representation of
this sort.
I must pass in silence such ambitious attributions as
Masaccio, Filippo Lippi, Andrea del Castagno, Mantegna,
Botticelli, Perugino, Bellini, Raphael, because though the pic
tures are often interesting and meritorious, the ascriptions
will not bear critical scrutiny.
THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY
The early years of the Sixteenth Century saw the maturity
of the Italian style in the work of Leonardo, Michelangelo,

and Raphael. Here Mr. Jarves naturally had to content him
self with minor painters and examples. Yet he succeeded
admirably in bringing together pictures that represent the
beginnings of the compact and monumental style. The
Entombment from the shop kept by Fra Bartolomeo at
S. Marco (No. 86), the stately Madonna by Ridolfo Ghirlan-
daio (No. 97), the Holy Family by some close follower of
Sudoma (No. 94), are all instructive pieces. A real master
piece of the transitional style is The Lady with a Rabbit,
ascribed to Francia, but surely by that fantastic genius,
Piero di Cosimo (No. 68). It was probably painted about 1505
when all Florence was talking of Leonardo's Mona Lisa. If
it lacks the glamour and complete mastery of its famous
prototype it is none the less a very fine picture. It would
grace any gallery, and if it were in an European museum it
would be world-famous.
I keep for the last the sadly repainted but still splendid
Presentation in the Temple (No. 'jj'). which is ascribed to

that rarest of Venetian masters Giorgione. Such an attribu
tion inevitably arouses scepticism, and so far as I know none
of the many critics who have written on the Jarves Collection
have given the picture any especial attention. Its repainted
condition makes any opinion hazardous. To remove recent
smears would be a simple operation. Unless I am greatly
mistaken in what I divine in this garbled work, cleaning
will reveal a masteroiece, not improbably a masterpiece by
Giorgione himself. *
In the limited space assigned to me I have been able only
to hint at the various points of interest offered by the Jarves
Collection. Perhaps it is enough to say that it is the most
complete and important collection of Italian pictures in the
possession of any university anywhere, a notable resource
for oleasure and profit for such as are wise enough to utilize
it, and an incalculable educational asset and adjunct at such
time as Yale shall embark seriously upon University instruc
tion in the history of Italian art.

The Schools and Entrance Requirements
Part of the Address Given at the New England School Superintendents' Meeting
By Professor ROBERT N. CORWIN, '87

If honesty and frankness on the part of the university
man is conceded, as well as the justice and fairness of a
part a.t least of his unfavorable criticism [of high-school
educational standards], we are in a position to arrange
some sort of tentative compromise. The truth probably lies
between the two positions outlined, and as a reasonable basis
for compromise, I submit the following.
The university man must recognize that the first duty of the
high school is to serve the needs of the public, and that this
service must not be made inconsistent with preparation for
college. The older institutions must not, in their relation to
the public school, assume the attitude of the British House
of Lords toward the Commons. Institutions which are
illiberal to all that is new in education cannot long maintain
their claim to be chiefly devoted to the pursuit of the liberal
arts. The high-school man must, on the other hand, recede
somewhat from his position that the curriculum should be
based upon the tastes of the pupil and that a new elixir of
life is to be found only or chiefly in the sciences, and further
that all subjects of equal interest are of equal value.
The university examiner has erred, no doubt, in giving too
great importance to certain favored subjects, notably Latin
and advanced mathematics. This has necessarily subordinated
scholarship to subjects of study, has favored the private fitting
school, and has made the examinations for admission to col
lege a test to see whether a certain process has been passed
through, rather than an attempt to learn whether a certain
result has been reached. The time is past when peculiar and
arbitrary requirements for admission may be maintained,
under the pretense of upholding scholarship, for what the
examiner wants is not Latin, but that degree of preparedness
which he associates with this subject. He must get into
closer touch with the problems and methods of the secondary
schools. Perhaps some of these objectionable vocational
studies may look less monstrous upon closer acquaintance. In
this connection, it would be well for the university man to
remember the homely fact that Latin was originally made a
requirement for admission for purely utilitarian reasons, and
that the disciplinary doctrine arose when these reasons could
be no longer urged; likewise that the university examiner
has at one time .or another assumed toward all subjects not
included in the traditional tripos — Latin, Greek, and mathe
matics — an attitude similar to that which he now shows
toward vocational studies.
The secondary-school man must likewise concede that the
study of foreign language and mathematics has a certain
value which has not been found hitherto in those subjects
which have been substituted for them. He must devise means
of making the pursuit of the sciences and vocational studies
develop qualities and powers equal to those found in the study
of the older disciplines which they replace, and he has a right
to require of the university teachers who can accomplish this.
If some concessions along the lines suggested can be
effected, we are pointed toward a course which will lead to
good results for both school and college. Our course should,
in general, be directed along the following lines:
(l) Entrance requirements should coincide as closely as
possible with the normal high-school course. This should be
accomplished by subordination, on the part of the university
examiner, of subjects of study to qualifications which repre
sent discipline and power, and by the restriction of his
demands to essential prerequisites. This implies the con
cession on the part of the high-school man that those studies
which are regarded as disciplinary by the conservative should
be given fair representation, and that the numerous so-called
sciences should not be worked overtime, and that early
specialization should be discouraged. This compromise
assumes that the subjects taught in the high-school should
be graded into three or four groups, as to the relative
degree of disciplinary or informational quality each possesses.

and that the amount from each group which is requisite for
graduation or for admission to college should be fixed within
broad bounds. I do not think that the diversity of opinion
as to the possible advantages of the study of individual sub
jects would make such a course impossible.
(2) From the above it follows that if college-preparatory
courses must be separated from other courses, this should
come as late as possible. The high-school should be a place
for testing out college material, and the necessity for early
choice makes for social distinction.
(3) Further, the examinations should be made more
general in character. The piecemeal character which they are
developing is making them less and less of a suitable test.
What the university needs to know is not so much whether a
pupil has had a stipulated quantity of some half-dozen kinds
of Latin, as whether or not he possesses the power to pursue
with credit and advantage the classical courses for which his
high-school course is the preparation.
(4) Responsibility for deciding upon the fitness of the
pupil might well be shared with the teacher. History and
geography, for example, have as many facets of interest as
there are authors and teachers and examiners, and it is an
open question whether examinations do not place unfair
restraints upon the teacher. The same is true to some
extent in English. These and other subjects might be
improved by transfer to the certificate group.
I do not flatter myself that the fulfilment of this sug
gestion would bring about entire unanimity of opinion, nor
uniformity of practice. Such an ideal state of standardiza
tion is not desirable. A sufficient degree of uniformity would
develop if the university man and school man would realize
more clearly that they both have the same end in view, that
the work of each depends upon that of the other, — that they
must ultimately stand or fall together.

The New England Teachers' Position
Professor Corwin's address, part of which is printed above. ^
was given last week at the ninety-fourth annual meeting of
the New England Association of School Superintendents in
Boston. The interest to university men in this school-teach
ers' meeting lay in the fact that the session resolved itself into
a vigorous attack on current college entrance requirements.
Radical changes in these requirements were recommended to
the colleges by the committee appointed to consider the matter
at the previous annual session. The general trend of these
suggestions was that the colleges should give the secondary
schools more voice in the admission requirements, should
accept certification, and should enlarge the field of the
requirements by admitting vocational studies. Part of the
report bearing on these two matters follows :
That the vital factor in college entrance work is the manner in
which subjects are studied, not the subjects themselves, and that in
general subjects should be continued for more than one year.
That college preparatory pupils should be permitted to elect six or
seven units out of a possible fifteen for college entrance from the
newer subjects.
That the commercial, general, manual, agricultural, and household
arts courses, should be so organized that pupils who have done well
in them can be certificated for colleg:e entrance.
That the responsibility for rating high school work should be placed
upon the State Board of Education.
The report opened with a lengthy description of the process
which led to the setting of the present standards of college
admission requirements and called attention to the change in
our economic condition which has made a new system
necessary. The objections to the typical requirements were
outlined as follows :
They_ are unsymmetrical. Disproportionate emphasis is placed upon
linguistic and mathematical studies to the minimizing of the historic
and the scientific and to the exclusion of the social, the civic, the

industrial, and the artistic. The subjects do not meet the requirements
of culture in a liberal education. They do not function with the pres
ent or future interests and activities of most pupils. They have few
points of contact with the lives that the pupils will lead after leaving
school. Education should fit for living. They constitute the particular
obstacle to making the work of the high school broad and efficient.
They prevent the harmonious and symmetrical development of a scheme
of education beginning at the kindergarten and continuing through
the University. Organized society is thereby deprived of the unique
abilities of many who would have profited by the college life, but who
were shunted by the accident of election at the end of the grammar
school course.
The report continues :
That the needed change has been so long in coming is largely the
fault of the public school men, who have been content to accept the

proposition that the college has an inherent right to direct the high
school courses. This is true only to the extent that the college has
a right to require entering students to have the ability to do work of
college quality in general, and that before undertaking advanced work
in any subject requiring elementary work the elementary work must
be done For example, first year French must be studied in preparation
for second year French, but not Latin in preparation for French. ^ The
college has no larger prescriptive right as to subjects than the eighth
. grade has over the seventh, or the high school over the elementary
The' elementary school, the high school and the college are all public
service corporations. The public schools are supported directly by
public taxation, but the colleges have been granted large privileges
in acquiring property and in holding it without taxation, while the
funds that have been given to them have been bestowed with the
belief that the money would be used for the largest educational results.
That colleges have proceeded as though they were independent entities
has been the natural outcome of conditions without a deliberate attempt
to dominate. If high schools will frankly undertake under liberal
entrance requirements to do all their work as well as they have done
that given in the college entrance course no friction need arise.

The third period of the exhibition of Oriental art at the
Chittenden Reading Room of the University Library, to con
tinue from May il to 30, is devoted to the so-called ukivo-ve,
or Japanese genre painting from the 17th to the 19th cen
turies, which is the form of Japanese art best known in the
Occident. Nearly eighty specimens in elaborate reproduc
tions in color and also in original color-prints of the kind
known as "surimono," the latter loaned by Mrs. Thomas D.
Goodell, are so arranged in eight show-cases as to demon
strate the general history of this well-known style of painting.
The cases are provided with explanatory notes containing
succinct accounts of the social and historical forces that
determined the evolution of the art, and each specimen is
accompanied by a brief description on a card. It is hoped
that by following these guides the spectator may be able to
see clearly the place the genre painting occupies in Japanese
art history and appreciate some of the strong and weak
points of this form of Oriental art which has already exer
cised much influence on modern European painting.
This exhibition will be followed by another on Oriental
decorative designs between June i and 20.

Letters

A "Vocational" Third College at Yale
Editor Yale Alumni Weekly :
Sir: — Mr. Luther's letter published in your issue of May
first brings up the very interesting and important question
as to what constitutes a college.
Leaving aside the question of the purpose for which the
English institutions, on which our colleges were modelled,
were intended, there can be little doubt that the founders of
Yale College intended it to be a vocational school. Of course,
they had no idea that it ever could become a school for all
vocations; but for the one vocation that in their day
demanded the support of scholarship — the ministry — it was
intended as a school of preparation. Its courses were laid
out with that end in view; and without much thought of
ulterior consequences. That by degrees it added to its func
tions .the duty of preparing men first for the law and then,
at a much later date, for the medical profession, was a matter
of secondary consideration; in fact, due entirely to the acci
dent that these systems of knowledge were themselves based
upon the scientific levels which the Greeks and Latins had
attained and not upon any conception of the progress in art
and science to which we have now risen.
The Scientific School in the same way was, in its inception,
a vocational school, intended to make use of the new learning
in fitting men to become better chemists, naturalists, and
engineers. In the progress of the arts and sciences during the last half
century, an immense number of .new professions have based
themselves upon that knowledge of the world about us which
has arisen since and through the sciences of nature and man.

For some of these the Sheffield Scientific School gives an
adequate technical training. But as time goes on and more
science is needed for the practice of the older, more manipula
tive arts, there is a tendency for these arts also to elevate
themselves to the rank of professions; very much in the
same way that the physician has been differentiated from
the village barber, or the priest from the medicine-man. In
response to this gradual process of elevation) there is a
demand on the part of the people, expressed in many com
munities throughout the land, for vocational training; so as
to promote in the more manipulative employments the mar
riage of art and science.
The Man on the Street sees plainly that the literary trend
of the grammar- and high-school studies in the past fifty
years has resulted in depriving the student of any means of
livelihood save in the underpaid clerkships to which the
great majority of those educated by this system inevitably
trend. It is the function of the university to lead and not to fol
low in such matters; for the curricula of the high schools
are always based upon the college requirements.
So, too, the broad-minded educators of a university should
better be able to forecast the needs of the people than the
people themselves — that is, provided they do their duty and
keep their eyes and ears open. What has Yale done to
respond to this popular trend of thought? Except for the
Scientific School, I am almost ashamed to listen to the
answer. But the state universities and other institutions of learning
not shackled by the fetters of bygone ages have accomplished
wonders in this direction. A man can be educated in almost
anything at Cornell or Michigan or Wisconsin. It is these
institutions that are raising the average intelligence of the
nation and are attracting the larger numlser of young men

who believe that knowledge can help them to earn their
livings. The idea of a third college is a valuable one. It should be
a college of the vocations. It should give advanced training
on business lines and advanced training on industrial lines ;
and there is every reason why a university should devote a
part of its equipment and ability to furthering the intellectual
ideals of the people as they are now developing.
To remain immovable, attached like a barnacle to the spiles
of the ancient learning, thrust deep in the mud of con
ventionality, has consequences of much greater import than
merely to_ repress the advance of the high-school system. It
is like a little dam in the current of modern aspiration, which
prompts the young to search for culture in the plants or the
stones or the metals in which they work, and to refine their
art with the interest which is attached to a knowledge of the
principles with which it is underlain.
The time is ripe for a College of the Vocations. The
Chamber of Commerce of New York raised six hundred
thousand dollars in a day for the better training of mer
chants. We are on the eve of a great revival of business
wherein the present tendency to shy at endowments may
easily be overcome by the temptation of a purpose that is
worth while. The men of Yale are preparing for such an
appeal. Who is preparing to make it?

A Harvard Educational Experiment
Editor Yale Alumni Weekly :
Sir: — It is always interesting to see how problems of schol
arship are being worked out in other colleges. Ever since
the great increase in the number of elective courses, and
the fact that practically no two men in Yale College are
taking identical work, it has been impossible to give the
student that incentive for continued effort which effective
competition provides. Many students, realizing the differ
ence of standards in different courses, have lost their respect
for excellence in college work. As President Lowell points
out in his recently published annual report, the quality of
mind required for winning high marks in a series of short,
detached courses is less highly esteemed by undergraduates

than that which enables a man to grasp and expound a sub
ject as a whole.
During the past year, the Division of History, Govern
ment, and Economics at Harvard has decided to require a
general examination from students who do the major part
of their work in those subjects. As an experiment in a class
of subjects that is becoming increasingly popular with the
average American undergraduate, it deserves to be carefully
observed. President Lowell feels that "it may well be
destined to raise the whole level of college education."
Those of your readers who are particularly interested in
considering ways and means for improving methods of col
legiate, education, will, I think, be glad to have for reference
the text of this new regulation. It is given in the annual
report of Dean Briggs for the year 1912-13 :
"The most important vote of the year concerned the re
quirements for 'concentration' in History, Government, and
Economics : —
(i) That the Division of History, Government, and Economics be
authorized to require of all students whose field of concentration lies
in this Division, in addition to the present requirements stated . in
terms of courses for the bachelor's degree, a special final examination
upon each student's field of concentration; and that the passing of
this examination shall be necessary in order to fulfill the requirements
for concentration in this Division.
(2) That students who pass this special examination may. be excused
from the regular final examinations in such courses of their last year
as fall within the Division of History, Government, and Economics, in
the same way that candidates for distinction who pass a public test may
now be excused under the rules of the Faculty.
(3) That this requirement go into effect with the class entering in
1913. (4) That the Division of History, Government, and Economics sub
mit for the sanction of the Faculty the detailed rules for the final
examinations and such a detailed scheme of tutorial assistance as may
be adopted before these are put into eifect by the Division.
"In January this vote was supplemented by two other
votes : —
(a) That the Division of History, Government, and Economics be
authorized to administer a general final examination consisting of both
written and oral tests to be taken by all students concentrating within
the Division.
(b) That, in order to assist students in their preparation for the
general examination, the Division be authorized to supplement by tutor
ial assistance the instruction given in courses."
It looks to me like a step in the right direction.

YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY

May Corporation Meeting
The regular May meeting of the Yale Corporation was held
in New Haven on Monday, May i8. In the absence of Presi
dent Hadley in Europe, Mr. Eli Whitney presided.
The announcement was made that Dr. George Brandes, the
eminent Danish literary critic, would deliver his first Ameri
can lecture at Yale University on Thursday evening.
APPOINTMENTS
Charles Schuchert, M.A., Professor of Paleontology, Cura
tor of the Geological Collection and Professor of Historical
Geology in the Sheffield Scientific School, was elected Acting
Dean of the Graduate School for next year in the absence
abroad of Dean Oertel.
Arrangements were made with Professor Ralph Waldo
Gifford, who has recently accepted a call to a Professorship
of Law in Columbia University, to continue to give lectures
at Yale next year on Testamentary Law and on Evidence.
An exchange has been authorized for next year between
Professor Wurts of the Law School and Professor George
Boke of the Law School of Leland Stanford Junior Univer
sity. Professor Boke has the reputation of being one of the
best teachers of law on the Pacific Coast.
The Bureau of Appointments was made a bureau of the
University Secretary's office and Edwin Rogers Embree, '06,
was appointed Secretary of the Bureau. His title will be
Secretary of the Bureau of Appointments and Alumni Regis
trar. A special effort will be made to develop the Bureau
as a more effective agency in filling teaching positions. A
recent graduate will assist Mr. Embree, giving his entire time
to filling positions for self-supporting students.
' Frederick Anderson, B.A., Leland Stanford Junior Uni
versity and M.A. Harvard University, was appointed Fellow
in Classics for next year on the new Foundation established
by the will of the late Martin Kellogg, formerly President of
the University of California.
New Instructors in the College and the Sheffield Scientific
School include the following: John Richie Schultz, M.A.,
Instructor in English in the College; Francis Joseph Tschan,
M.A., Instructor in History in the College ; Rainard B. Rob-
bins, at present at Harvard University, Instructor in Mathe
matics in the Scientific School; Adolph B. Benson, at present
at Dartmouth College, Instructor in German in the Scientific
School. NEW GIFTS
Among the gifts announced were : $1,000 from Mrs. John
Reed Williams of Chicago, for the establishment of a scholar
ship in memory of her husband, who was graduated from
Yale College in the Class of 1895, to be awarded annually at
the close of Freshman or Sophomore year, as the Academical
Faculty may determine, and under rules prescribed by it, to a
member of the Academic Freshman or Sophomore Class,
preferably from Phillips Academy, Andover, who is helping
support himself by his own efforts and has proved himself
to be a man of high character and of large promise,
especially in English Literature or History; $500 from Mrs.
W. W. Gordon and children of Savannah, Georgia, to the
Civil War Memorial Fund, being a contribution in memory
of the late General W. W. Gordon, '54, one of the originators
of the movement. A small gift from the Yale Southern Club
towards the endowment of the Calliopean Scholarship, enables
the University to offer $100 a year from this endowment. As
the major portion of this fund came from the sale of the
Calliope Society Library about fifty years ago, and as this
Society was made up almost exclusively of Southern men, it
was voted that hereafter the Scholarship should be awarded
to a student from one of the Southern states.
The Corporation voted that beginning with a year from
this June a uniform graduation fee of $lo will be charged
in all departments of the University instead of the fees
varying from $5 to $18 now imposed.
The Corporation adopted arms of the University, to be used
in place of the seal by semi-official organizations, so that the
use of the seal may be restricted to official publications, docu

ments, etc. The arms consist of the shield taken from the
center of the seal, with a ribbon below bearing the legend
"lux et Veritas." The shield, which is Oxford blue, bears on
its face an open book on which are the Hebrew words for
"light and truth."
A new building was authorized at the Observatory to
shelter the important new polar heliostat, soon to be com
pleted by the Brashear Company of Pittsburgh, for research
work.

THE BOWL, LOOKING NORTH TO WEST ROCK, ON A BALL-GAME DAY

The Yale Bowl Situation
A meeting of the Committee of Twenty-One was held in
New York on Tuesday, May 12, at which there was a very
fair attendance of the members. In addition to this, Mr.
Williams, head of the Engineering Staff; Mr. Barber, the
architect, and Mr. Walter Camp of the Yale Athletic
Association were present by request.
The financial situation was discussed at length and the
report of Mr. Kountze, the treasurer, showed that subscrip
tions had not come in to any great extent for the past eight
months. The reasons for this were, of course, obvious as the
financial depression through the country has not helped to
stimulate ordinary donations. But the amount of money on
hand is not sufficient to finish the Bowl, let alone the rest
of the undertakings which the Committee have by vote
assumed, and it is still expected that some wealthy and
generous Yale graduates will evidence their interest in the
undertaking and in the well-being of the undergraduate body
by contributing in some large amounts the money necessary to
complete the plans of the Committee. All undertakings of
this kind, save in the case of Princeton, which was a volun
tary contribution and from one individual, have been menaced
by the same situation as has affected the contributions to the
Yale Bowl, but the Committee and the friends of Yale all
feel that the project as endorsed by the Corporation should
go through and means should be provided to make this
possible. Work on the Bowl has progressed very rapidly within the
last month; the present contract requires the contractor to
finish the embankment by the fifth of June, and there is every
prospect of this being done. The next matter is the setting
of the inside wall around the ellipse which is to enclose the
football arena. Some of this will unquestionably be in place
by Commencement and the work should be finished by July
IS- It is a low wall — eight feet in height, and similar in con
struction to the outside wall of the Bowl.
Mr. Barber, the architect, was requested to furnish sketches
and plans of the gate houses and it was explained to the Com
mittee that, partly owing to the lack of funds and partly
owing to the opinion of the best engineers we could get, the
upper half of the embankment would not settle sufficiently
by fall to allow a concrete facing to hold the seats as origi
nally intended, and that for the present the Committee would
finish the upper embankment by a wooden structure which
would serve the purpose for at least this year. While the
cost of this will eventually add to the estimates of the Com
mittee, when it is replaced by concrete, it was necessary so to
place these seats on the upper embankment in order that when
the settlement is completed the finished structure in concrete
shall involve no risks. The Bowl will be done for the Har
vard game in this way, — namely, that the lower half of the
structure, beginning with the tunnel entrances, will be finished
in concrete down to the playing surface, while the upper half

of the structure will be finished in wooden seats, resting on
the embankment. It is to be regretted that the whole structure
could not be completed in time for the game in accord with
the original designs, but for reasons above stated this is
absolutely impossible.
At this meeting of the Committee were present by invitation
Mr. Kirby of the Intercollegiate Track Association ; Mr.
Kilpatrick and Mr. Elton Parks, both of the Graduate Track
Committee, and Mr. Brown and Mr. Bryan of the Under
graduate Track Committee. The matter of the track in the
Bowl was discussed at great length. It was finally decided
to refer the question to a committee consisting of the Com
mittee on Grounds and Structures who are to study and report
upon the problem at the earliest possible moment. An esti
mate of the expense of a tunnel for a track was presented,
but the figures given were so obviously wrong that they could
not be considered. It is approximately certain that this tun
nel through the embankment will cost about fifty thousand
dollars. While the Committee, as ever, desire it as much as
any one else, they are somewhat appalled by the question of
expense. However, the matter will be given due consideration
by the sub-committee and a report may be expected within
a month. David Daggett, '79,

Alumni Fund Class Agents' Dinner
The spring dinner which the directors of the Yale Alumni
Fund Association give the class agents each year, was held
at the Yale Club, New York City, on May 5, and brought
together a large and representative gathering of directors,
agents and guests. The following class agents and directors
were present:
Theodore Fitch, '64; Payson Merrill, '65; W. W. Skiddy, '6s S.;
Arthur C. Walworth, '66; Thomas Thacher, '71; Ed. H. Peaslee, '72;
Samuel R. Betts, '75; Otto T. Bannard, '76; W. M. Barnum, '77:

erick Dwight, '94: Harry J. Fisher, '96; T. M. Brown, ''97: E. D.
Pouch, '98 S.; W. E. S. Grlswold, '99; J. McL. Walton, '99 S.; Chas.
L. Tiffany, 'oo; Wm. W. Hoppin, '01; H. H. Pease, '02 S.; Reeve
Schley, '03; T. D. Thacher, '04; John Sloane, '05; Karl H. Behr
'06 S.; Philip L. Dodge, '07; Jas C. Auchincloss, '08; L. W. Scudder,
'08 S.; T. S. Watson, '09 S.; Walter Barnum, '10; Norman E. Titus,
'10 S.; R. L. Auchincloss, '13; A. Wallace Chauncey, '13 S.
It is the custom at this dinner to hear reports from Class
Agents as to the progress of their work, and to have talks
from representatives of the University and the directors
on matters of interest to Yale and the Alumni Fund. It
was reported at the dinner that there had been collected
or was fairly in sight for this year about $63,000, which
figure it is hoped will be largely increased before Com
mencement time. The Classes having reunions at New
Haven this vear are principally relied upon for this increase.

YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY

as it is the custom for Reunion Classes to make substantial
gifts to the Fund beyond the amounts of ordinary years.
The meeting was addressed by Edwin K. Hoover, 1914 S.,
who was recently appointed Class Agent for that Class, and
in his talk he gave "a very interesting undergraduate view
of the duties and responsibilities of a graduating class toward
the Fund. R. A. Douglas, 1914, spoke representing the
graduating Academic Class along similar lines, bringing out
particularly the need of educating the undergraduates
in the importance and value of the Alumni Fund to Yale.
Mr. Douglas was the recent winner of the prize for the essay,
published in the Alumni Weekly, on the Alumni Fund.
Rev. Anson Phelps Stokes, '96, who represented the Uni
versity at the dinner, made a very interesting and instructive
speech, which was printed in full in the Yale Alumni
Weekly of Mav 8.
Thomas Thacher, '71, gave a short history of the Fund.
Otto T. Bannard, '76, compared the Alumni Fund with the
system of the 25th year reunion gifts which exists at
Harvard. lie made a plea for turning over to the Alumni
Fund during the life of a graduate class at least $100,000,
as this is the amount which each Harvard class gives at
its 25th reunion in a lump sum. W. M. Barnum, '77, com
mented on the fact that many reunion classes devoted too
large a sum to reunion entertainments as compared to the
sum raised as a reunion contribution to the University. The
last speaker of the evening was Julian W. Curtiss, '79, who
brought out the paramount importance of selecting the right
class agents to recresent the Yale Alumni Fund in each class.

Yale at the Philadelphia Henley
At this year's Henley, Yale attempted a feat heretofore
regarded as pretty risky. That is, the same crew was entered
in two races with but one hour and forty minutes for rest
between. As the Second Crew was the entry, however, and
their racing season was possibly to close with these contests,
it was considered a good chance for the men to gain experi
ence, as several of these men will be back another year. The
plan was carried out for that reason.
The first race among the second crews of Harvard, Prince
ton, Pennsylvania, Annapolis and Yale was rowed first and
resulted in a victory for Harvard in the very good time of
6 minutes 422-5 seconds, with Yale S seconds behind and
Pennsylvania 2 seconds later than Yale, while Princeton and
the Navy brought up the rear. Harvard's victory over Yale,
in view of the make-up of her boat, was expected. There
were many seasoned men in the shell, and from current
reports they appeared to be just as speedy as their Varsity for
that distance. Yale did not push the winners at any time in
the race, nor did any of the others seriously challenge Yale.
In the second race, open for Varsity eights, the competition
was fierce. Harvard won in 6 minutes 40 seconds flat,
followed very closely by the Union Boat Club of Boston, the
Navy coming next, then Yale, and lastly Syracuse. The Navy
and Union Boat Club got so close at the finish that they

interfered with each other a little, or they would have
pushed Harvard even closer than the one second that
separated them.
An analysis of the races, so far as the general result is
concerned, seems to indicate that Yale was just as able to
stand the physical test as Harvard, they being the only two
entered in two races. In the first race, Harvard, as stated
above, was not pushed by any one and naturally kept well
within their limit, while Yale was every minute of the time
putting out all she had to overtake her old rival. In the sec
ond race, Yale came out and made the distance in practically
as good time as in the first instance, — if anything, in a little
better form. Certainly there was no sign of breaking any
where in the boat.
It seems, then, that the Yale men can hold what speed they
have as well as Harvard, and considering the fact that Har
vard's boat was well made up of veterans and Yale's was
not, the chance of getting the necessary speed would probably
not have been at all impossible if more time had been
available. Much light may be looked for, however, on this
very point from the coming race Saturday at Ithaca, with the
Cornell and Princeton Varsities.
Yale's Varsity in this connection will be forced to disclose
all the speed it has, and the distance, two miles, is long
enough to give a very clear idea of what may happen in a
longer race. The coaches feel confident the Crew will put up
a stubborn contest, but refuse to commit themselves as to the
actual outcome.
The great surprise at the Henley regatta was the failure
of Syracuse, with six veteran men in her boat, to show any
thing like the speed expected of her. Having won the Pough-
keepsie races last summer, it was practically conceded on all
sides that she would prove a' dangerous contestant, but Yale
easily out-distanced her at the finish. If there were any crews
rowing in the events Yale was entered in that were using any
stroke radically different from that Yale was using, they
were not in great evidence. A short body swing and a long
leg drive was the popular stroke this season without
exception.  0 
Some Yale Class Statistics
(New York Times)
On its face, the fact that of the 278 men in Yale's senior class, this
year, only forty-six are the sons of Yale graduates, might be taken as
indicating either that a good many of the graduates send their sons
to some other or to. no university, or that a good many have no sons
to send to any. Either conclusion would be welcome to the foes of
higher education — the curious people who are fond of denying prac
tical value to collegiate training and always talking about the number
of predestinate carpenters and bricklayers whom it spoils.
Rare indeed is the college graduate who has any doubts at all as
to the value of a college education, and almost as rare is one who is
not content to let his son go, if the son will, to the college that
looms^ so magnificently in his own youthful memories. ^ That the boys
sometimes have and follow other preferences, in choosing a college is
not a fault or a misfortune, and the institutions which it deprives of
an occasional student are less likely to be of Yale's sort than those
smaller and more distinctly sectarian, that have not changed and pro
gressed with the age, but are still trying to serve needs now mostly
gone.

Literature and Science
"It is now nearly thirteen years since we
recognized in Gouverneur Morris's ['98] *Tom
Beauling* a story which was at once a per
formance and a promise," says the New York
Times, "It was full of interest and of charm,
and it stood for what is best in character.
Since that time Mr. Morris has 'arrived'; his
tales have treated of a wide range of sub
jects, and have all been noted for what
musicians call 'a touch.' Yet, so far as their
spirit goes, we have sometimes wished they
would hark back to that of brave, clean Tom
Beauling, who followed his father's dying
counsel, and went 'about the world and the
sea — friendly and honest . . a good man
and a gentleman.' In the ten stories which
make up 'The Incandescent Lily,* [just pub
lished] its title being that of the initial tale,
the Tom Beauling spirit not seldom asserts
itself. They treat of many topics, from tennis
championships to the profoundest and some
times the most tragic experiences of life.
The high-water mark is perhaps reached in
^The Custody of the Child,' the closing sen
tence of which goes deeper than he who
uttered it could perceive. The fanciful
romance of 'The Incandescent Lily' leaves the
reader with something of the problem of the
Lady or the Tiger on his hands, though in
this case we fear the solution is not far
to seek. One rarely meets stories that glow
with such delicate fancy and are at the same
time instinct with vital meanings. Mr. Mor
ris shows himself a past master of the difficult
art of short-story writing."
Samuel W. Johnson, known as the "Father
of Agricultural Stations," enjoyed an inter
national distinction which has been well ex

pressed by Nature in a review of "From The
Letter Files o£ S. W. Johnson," edited by
his daughter, Elizabeth A. Osborne (Yale
University Press). The well-known English
scientific journal says: "No teacher of agri
cultural chemistry can afford to do without
Johnson's two books, 'How Crops Grow,'
and 'How Crops Feed.' If he tries it, he
will miss the two most valuable sources of
help for his lectures. The first was written
in 186S, and instantly achieved a most remark
able popularity, being translated into French,
German, Russian, Swedish, Italian and
Japanese, besides being reversed and adapted
for English readers by Church; the second
appeared two years later, and was almost
equally successful. Neither book is ever likely
to get out of date, because each deals so
fully with the fundamental experiments car
ried out by men who were laying the founda
tion of what has since become a great subject.
The book before us gives an account of the
life of the writer of these books, and inci
dentally throws much interesting light on the
opening chapters of the history of agricultural
chemistry." "Do you think that poetry can ever become
really popular among college students?"
Alfred Noyes was asked soon after his accept
ance of a visiting professorship at Princeton
had been announced. "Yes," said Mr. Noyes,
"college students, both in England and Amer
ica, are extraordinarily susceptible to the in
fluence of art. When I was at Oxford,
what the university chiefly meant to me was
literature. This literary atmosphere did me
good, I am sure. But it did good also to
many men who did not take up literature as
a, profession — to men, for example, who
entered the Indian Civil Service. I find
among the students of American universities
the same readiness for literature. I've been
to most universities east of Chicago in the
course of my lecture tour, and I think that
the one thing they have lacked is the literary
atmosphere, the mellowing influence of art.
Of course, it has been impossible for Amer
ican universities to feel that mellowing influ
ence — ^they are too young; they are still in
process of construction. They cannot be ex
pected to have a literary atmosphere any more
than they can be covered with ancient ivy.
American college students read poetry exten
sively. I know this by the number of volumes
of modern verse I have seen in their rooms.
Kipling, I think, is largely responsible for
this." "It is curious that the first volume of the
Yale Historical Miscellany should be written
by an Englishman," says The Spectator (Lon
don) in a favorable review of "The Colonis
ing Activities of the English Puritans," by
Arthur P. Newton, published by the Yale
University Press. Yet to those who are
familiar with the new era of publishing at
Yale, this will seem in nowise curious. The
publications of the Department of History are
typical of all Yale University Press books in
their international character, as is the contents
of the Yale Review. It may be of interest
to those who have not yet fully realized the
very wide support of scholarship and letters
by the Yale University Press to see a list
of some of the more important universities
represented by authors in the catalogue of its
publications: — Leland Stanford Junior Univer

sity; Nobel Institute, Stockholm (Sweden);
University of California; John Innes Insti
tution, Surrey (England) ; Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology; liarvard University;
Victoria College, Toronto (Canada) ; New
York University; Princeton University; Uni
versity of Kansas; University of Tokyo
(Japan); Smith College; John Hopkins Uni
versity; Oxford University (England); Uni
versity of Pennsylvania; Cornell University;
McGill University (Canada) ; University of
Liverpool (England) ; Cambridge University
(England) ; Bonn University (Germany) ;

of Paris (France); University of Michigan;
University of Chicago; Bryn Mawr College;
Dartmouth College; Amherst College; Uni
versity of Vermont; Bowdoin College; Uni
versity of Pittsburgh; University of Berlin
(Germany) ; and West Point Military
Academy. Dr. Carroll S. Alden, '98, instructor in
English in the Naval Academy, Washington,
has just published a Life of Commodore Per
kins through Houghton MifHin and Company.
This is an extremely entertaining book, and
is a valuable addition to United States naval
history. Samuel H. Clapp, '01, has the great dis
tinction of having received the doctor's de
gree from the Sorbonne in Paris summa cum
laude. Dr. Clapp has also just published a
superb volume, entitled Les dessins de Pon-
tormo, which is richly illustrated. He has in
press a volume of original poems, and is
coming to this country this summer to lecture
in the University of California.
A recent Sunday Magazine of the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch contained an illustrated article
on "Woman's Part in Revolution and Guer-
rila Warfare in Mexico," by Paul G. Robi-
son, '08.

Notes
Further interest is added to the Commence
ment production of "Quentin Durward,"
which has been dramatized by two undergrad
uates, by the fact that two more members of
the Junior Class have contributed an overture
and intermezzos in the classic style as well
as lyrics that will be sung at intervals during
the course of the play. The latter have been
written by J. C. Peet and the musical com
positions are the work of D. S. Moore. This
treatment is expected to suggest the romance
and medievalism of Scott. It also carries out
the Dramatic Association's original plan of
making the Spring play not only an all- Yale
production but, as far as possible, the result
of undergraduate effort. For these reasons,
there is considerable anticipation of this play
to be produced on the Campus, June 13.
The following members of the Class of 191 5 S.
were elected to the Kopper Kettle Klub at

Baseball
Yale 2 — Dartmouth 1
Yale played errorless ball against Dartmouth
at Yale Field on Wednesday, May 13, and
won, 2 to I. Timely hitting determined the
result of the game. Way pitched for Yale,
allowing but five hits to the thirty-two men
who faced him in the nine innings of play.
Both the line-up and the batting order were
changed, Hunter getting an advance in the
batting list. Hunter was shifted to right field
and Mudge caught instead.
Yale scored in the second inning. Cornish
hit to center field, Pumpelly sacrificed him,
but Cornish was oirt at second, Wanamaker
to Kimball. Mudge walked, stole second, and
scored on a single by Middlebrook and an
error at the plate by Wanamaker. In the
first of the sixth, Dartmouth tied the score.
Way walked Willard, who advanced on
Roland's out and scored on Mendall's long
single to center. Dartmouth could not score
again, however, for Yale tightened up all
around. When Yale came to bat in the sixth.
Captain Blossom was hit by a pitched ball and
went to first. Reilly was thrown out at first
and Hunter singled. Cornish reached first on
d. fielder's choice and Blossom scored the win
ning run of the game. Neither side had
another chance to score. The score: —

strength in the pitching department, Gile
striking out ten men and walking but one,
while Murray struck out five and walked two.
Yale won tlie game in the sixth by taking
ail opportunity that presented itself when
Murray, the Holy Cross pitcher, walked Fal-
sey. The Yale left fielder stole second and
Reilly knocked a clean single to center field,
scoring him. Then Murray tightened and
retired the side. Reilly's was the only hit
Yale got during the game; Yale never had
another opportunity to score. When Holy
Cross got men on bases, the Yale infield proved
itself equal to the emergency and Gile did
the rest. It was the fastest game Yale has
played this season in point of time, the entire
nine innings being played in an hour and a
half. The score: —

THE NEW PLAYGROUNDS FOR INTER-CLASS BASEBALL
Yale Bowl, in process of construction, showing in background

On Saturday, the College Baseball Team
defeated Andover by the score of i to o.
The game was fast and well played. Yale*s
winning run came in the first inning, Stevens
pitched well for Yale, allowing but two hits
and two bases on balls and striking out three
men straight in the ninth inning. The game
was featured by a remarkable stop of Shear,
Yale's third baseman, and a running catch
by Campbell, the Yale right fielder.
A fast eleven-inning game was won from
Hotchkiss by Yale 1917 on May 13. The

final score was s to 4 and the winning run
was made by LeGore, who also drove out a
home run in the first inning and a clean
triple in the fifth. Underwood pitched for the
Freshmen, retiring nine men on strikes.
Yale 1917 won a. close game of baseball on
Saturday that was featured by few hits and
fast fielding and base running; Irving School,
which had hitherto been undefeated, was
beaten by the score of 4 to 3. Underwood
pitched a. no-hit game for Yale during the
first six innings, allowing four hits in the
seventh and eighth. The Freshman stole six
bases, of which three were directly responsible
for scores. The winners scored two of their
runs in the first inning and one each in the
next two, Irving School scoring single runs
in the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings.

Harvard Defeated in Track
On Saturday, the Track Team which the
week before beat Princeton, 87 2-5 to 16 3-5.
easily won the dual meet with Harvard at
Cambridge by the score of 66 1-2 to 37 1-2.
Yale took eight of the thirteen first places and
captured all three places in the 1 2 o-yard
hurdles, the mile run, and the hammer throw.
Potter of Yale and Barron of Harvard were
the highest point winners, each totaling ten
points. New dual meet records were estab
lished in the half-mile, mile, and two-mile
runs, and the dual record for the 120-yard
hurdles was tied by Potter, who won in 15 4-5
seconds, although two of the watches indicated
that the record had been broken. On Friday,
the members of the University turned out
behind a band and saw the Track Team off
at the railroad station for Cambridge. A

SPRING FOOTBALL SQUAD WATCHING A GAME OF BASEBALL

Freshman Track Team Defeats Harvard
While the Varsity Team was winning in
Cambridge, the Freshman Track Team, which
the week before defeated Princeton 1917 by
the score of 75 1-3 to 41 2-3, won from Har
vard 1917 by the score of 71 to 33. The
Yale Freshmen presented a well-balanced
team which took nine firsts, eleven seconds,
and four thirds, and scored points in every
event, while Harvard won only four firsts and
failed to place in the high jump, the broad
jump, and the pole vault. In winning the
220-yard dash over Captain Treadway of
Yale, Captain Teschner of Harvard came
within one-fifth of a second of the world's
record for that event. The same sprinter won
the loo-yard dash in 10 seconds flat. A sum
mary of first places follows:
lOO-yard dash — Won by E, A. Teschner,
Harvard. Time — 10 seconds.
220-yard dash — Won by E. A. Teschner,
Harvard. Time — 21 2-5 seconds.
440-yard run — Won by W. Willcox, Jr.,
Harvard. Time — 49 2-5 seconds.
880-yard run — Won by W. W. Crehore, 1917.

Yale's Intercollegiate Track Outlook
The annual intercollegiate meet, at the Har
vard Stadium on May 29 and 30, will inau
gurate a new point system which supports Yale's
championship aspirations. Five places are to
count this year, 5, 4, 3, 2, and r points

respectively. While Yale may be said to have
a better chance than any other individual
team, the margin is so close that such a
chance is scarcely even against the entire
field. There is a distinct possibility that Yale
may capture six firsts out of the thirteen
events. Captain George Brown in the half has im
proved upon his extraordinary running of last
season. His battle with Meredith, holder of
the world's half-mile record, should be the
feature of the meet. Brown has made the
better time to date. Potter is picked to win
both hurdles, but with such men opposed to
him as Ferguson of Pennsylvania and Shelton
of Cornell, he must be at top form. Wilkie
is counted upon in the quarter to repeat
against Bingham of Harvard. Should Mere
dith be sent against him, the race would be
a thriller, with the odds on Wilkie to capture
the event.
Oler, the Olympic champion, has not been
pushed in the high jump this year. He
cleared 6 feet i 1-2 inches in the Harvard meet,
with 4 inches to spare. Douglas or Hartswick
may land a place. The broad jump shows
little talent in the colleges this spring. John
stone of Harvard will probably win, with
Cook, Hampton, and Mathews as Yale possi
bilities. Loughridge should easily win the
hammer-throw for Yale, with Caldwell,
Cooney, and Talbot possible point winners.
The mile will bring together Speiden of
Cornell, Madeira of Pennsylvania, and McKen
zie of Princeton. Poucher of Yale should
land at least a third from this field of stars-
all capable of doing better than 4 :2o.
Harbison and Roos must improve to place
in the shot-put. Harbison is the surprise of
the season, but against such men as Bartlett
of Brown, Whitney of Dartmouth, and Beatty
of Columbia his new-found prowess will be
sorely tested.
No good pole-vaulters are at hand to com
pete with Camp of Harvard, although Carter
is capable of vaulting 12 feet 6 inches and
may surprise the prophets.

YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY

Yale, then, should place in all the events
except the sprints. Here Cornell, with Kel
ler, Ingersoll, and VanWinkle, will divide
most of the 30 points with Pennsylvania, rep
resented by Patterson and Lippincott, last
year's champions. Barron of Harvard will
place in one of the sprints. Barring accidents
and tendons, Yale should go to Cambridge
prepared to win over 40 points, with Penn
sylvania a close second, and Harvard and
Cornell fighting for a. rather poor third place.

Yale Class Champion Crew Victorious
For the second successive time, the cham
pionship Yale class crew, representing the
Class of 191S (and the third year Sheff men,
1914 S.), defeated the Harvard winning class
crew, this year the Sophomore crew, on the
Charles River basin last Saturday. The time
over the mile and seven-eighths course was
considerably faster than that of last year; the
Yale Juniors won in 10 minutes 18 ' 2-5
seconds, leading Harvard at the finish by
nearly three lengths. Soon after the start,
Yale overcame Harvard's slight lead and was
able to keep ahead most of the way, being a
good length ahead by the first mile. Yale's
form was better throughout the race and Har
vard was too exhausted for a sprint at the
finish. At that time, Yale was rowing about
two strokes faster than the Harvard Sopho
mores. The winning Yale Junior Eight was boated
as follows : — Stroke, A. Morse ; 7, Wiman ; 6,
Robb; 5, English; 4, Bennitt (Captain) ; 3,
Sefton; 2, McCreary; Bow, H. Morse; Cox.,
Schoelkopf. Both Captain Bennitt and Robb
rowed in the championship Sophomore Crew
that last year defeated the Harvard 1915 oars
men on the Charles.

Notes

Spring football practice, which ended on
May 1 1 with the final events of the kicking
and passing contests, appears to have been
a success. Great improvement was shown by
all the candidates in handling the ball, in
kicking, and in passing. Prize cup awards in
the contest were as follows: punting, W. D.
Savage, 1915 S., of Norwalk, Conn.; catching

punts, F. F. Ainsworth, 1915 S., of Brookline,
Mass.; drop-kicking, D. M. Blodget, 1917, of
Bridgeport, Conn; place-kicking, John Mc-
Henry, Jr., 1917, of Owings Mills, Md.; kick
ing off, J. H, Higginbotham, 1916 S., of
Dublin, Tex.; forward passing and catching,
C. H. Roberts, Jr., 1916, of Flushing, N. Y.
The "all-around" prize, a gold football pre
sented by J. E. Owsley, '05, was awarded to
O. L. Guernsey, 1916, of Des Moines, Iowa.
It is quite probable that the Princeton
faculty committee on outdoor sports will re
vise the so-called "two-sport rule," which
has been in force at Princeton since 1901,
prohibiting a student from belonging in one
year to more than two university organizations
which would require his absence from town
during term-time. A symposium in The Daily
Princetonian, giving views of the deans of
Yale, Harvard, Williams, and Dartmouth, and
of a number of Princeton men interested in
athletics, suggests that such a rule is hardly
necessary. Not only is the number of under
graduates desiring to participate in more
than two Varsity sports very small, but experi
ence seems to have proved that athletics,
where scholarship qualifications are enforced,
do not generally impair the student's scholas
tic standing. Dean Jones stated that there is
no rule at Yale corresponding to the Princeton
"two-sport rule" and that the scholarship
restrictions in force appear to be giving satis
factory results.
For the fifth consecutive time, Phillips-Exeter
Academy won the interscholastic track title,
totaling 55 points at the thirteenth annual
meet held at Yale Field on May 16. Law-
renceville and Mercersburg tied for second
place with 23 points each and Hotchkiss came
fourth with 17, Tome School, Bethlehem High
School, New Haven High School, and Provi
dence Classical High School finishing in tlie
order named. Exeter scored in every event
but two, and M. B. Orr of the winning team
established the only record broken at this
meet when he did the 440-yard dash in 49
3-5 seconds, bettering the record of 50 1-5
which he made last year. Excellent perform
ances marked most of the events of the meet.
Winning its fifth straight victory, the Var
sity Tennis Team defeated Dartmouth at New

Haven on May 12. Yale took all six matches,
although two of the four singles matches
went to three sets. The two doubles matches
were won in each case in straight sets.
A Varsity tennis match on May 14 with the
University of Pittsburgh resulted in a tie, 3
to 3. R. C. Gates, 1914, in defeating W. S.
McElIroy of Pittsburgh, played an unusually
good game of tennis,
A tennis match between Yale and CorneU
at New Haven on May 15 resulted in a draw.
This match was the best to date, encouraging
play appearing in the doubles especiaUy.
Continuing its excellent record, the Varsity
Tennis Team on Saturday defeated Amherst
by the score of 6 to 0. In a most interesting
match. Captain R. C. Gates, 1914, beat Cap
tain F. Cady of Amherst, the former's steady
playing proving superior to the often brilliant
play of the latter. The results of this match
are here given:
Singles: — R. C. Gates, 19 14, defeated F.
Cady, Amherst, 10-8, 3-6, 6-3; W. D. Cun
ningham, 191 5) defeated L. Shumway, Am
herst, 7-5, 6-2; H. H. Lockwood, 1914, de
feated E. McClay, Amherst, 6-8, 6-2, 6-2; T.
Stanley, 1914, defeated R. Snider, Amherst,
6-2, 6-0.
Doubles: — R. C. Gates, 1914, and W. D.
Cunningham, 1915, defeated F. Cady and L.
Shumway, Amherst, 8-6, 6-4; H. H. Lock-
wood, 1914, and C. E. Stimson, 1914, defeated
E. McClay and H. McCague, 5-7, 7-5, 7-5.
Hartford High School, New Haven High
School, and Westminster tied for the team
championship in the twenty-second annual
Yale interscholastic tennis tournament which
was most successfully run off on the Hillhouse
courts on Saturday. Frank Hopkins of the
New Haven High School was for the second
successive time individual winner.
On May 15, the Yale Golf Team defeated
Williams at the New Haven Country Club,
winning five out of six closely contested
games. Captain Hyde of .Williams was de
feated by J. T. Bishop, 1914.
Included in the All-American Soccer Team
selected at a recent meeting of the Intercol
legiate Soccer League, were Shepard at right
back and Tripp at outside right, both of these
being Yale players. Harvard, declared cham
pions for i9i4» was represented by three play
ers, Pennsylvania and Haverford being given
two places each, and Princeton and~^ Columbia
one each.
Joseph Walker, 3d, 1915, of New York City,
has been elected captain of the Varsity Squash
Team for next year. Harvey H. Brown, Jr.,
191S. of Cleveland, Ohio, has been elected
manager. Robert H. Gamble, 1915, of Haverford, Pa.,
has been elected captain, and James H,
Robins, 1916 S., of Philadelphia, Pa., has been
made assistant manager of the Varsity Soccer
Team.

of the various associations included in the
Associated Southern Yale Clubs and request
them to bring to the attention of their mem
bers the request of the committee in charge
of the construction of the "Bowl" for sub
scriptions. The Association put itself on record as
favoring the giving by the University of one

The Western Meeting
As this issue of the Alumni Weekly goes
to press, word comes that all is in readiness
for the eleventh Annual Meeting of Associ
ated Western Yale Qubs, which will take
place in Cincinnati, Ohio, on May 22, 23, and
24. Professor G. B. Adams, speaking on
Friday, and the men who talk at the banquet
on Saturday evening may be expected to
emphasize the serious business of the gathering.
Professor William H. Taft, '78, will preside
at the banquet.
Surprises are to be the chief features of
the entertainment which will be provided dur
ing the visit of the Cincinnati Yale Club's
guests. However, what is known of the pro

gramme already announced promises fun for
' everybody, — on Friday and Saturday after
noons, out-of-door sports, including "field
sports of every description" and a baseball
game and soft ball match between Chicago
and Cincinnati; a supper and cabaret per
formance at the Gibson on Friday evening,
following the the dansant at the Sinton, and
an elaborate musical programme and the sur
prises at Saturday evening's banquet at the
Sinton. A feature of the entertainment will
be the musical offerings of the delegations
from various cities. Lively competition is
looked for in this direction.
Two interesting publications will be in
readiness for the Western Meeting. A new
edition of "Life at Yale" has been prepared
at the University Secretary's Office. This
small volume is replete with information con
cerning- Yale customs and other distinguishing
characteristics, and is illustrated with a large
number of Campus snapshots. "Animals in
Social Captivity," by Richard Clough Ander
son, '94 S., is a book which its author has
managed to get off the press in time to let
the men to whom it is dedicated enjoy his
social satire.
Full reports of the Western Meeting will
appear in these columns as soon after the
meeting as possible.

Worhing Capital

Every corporation needs "Working Capital," It is impossible to
successfully carry on business without it.
Most of the funds of Yale University are restricted ; therefore
it is a problem to obtain working capital, and one of the purposes
of the Alumni Fund is to supply this need.
How well this function has been carried out is a matter of
common knowledge among Yale men.
The University is actually dependent on the annual amount
gathered by the Alumni Fund Association in small gifts, and the
loss of this amount for one year, or even its reduction, would prove
most embarrassing. The work, deserves ^our endorsement.
