In comment upon Mr. D. Cady Eaton's letter, printed
in last Fridays TRIBUNE wish to express my opinion
that he is lab0ring under misapprcheusion Being III
os,tion as financial editor OF The Lit to understand
ia better than any outsider can, desire to
say that no tradcsman advetis In that periodical
except by his will Nor did ever hear Of the
Sdor: hnSo2S about In Epw s
Financial Editor OF d" The Yale LII
Tho receip,, from The Lit for the year 1886 81
Matted each editor ABOUT $780, The number OF working
hours devoted by each editor to tho magazine before
and after assuming charge OF the same Is dcu 10 es
mate but probably averaged upward of $50. For the
same nuruoer OF hours work private tutors at Yale
almost always students receive from 5000 to $500 IL
thu. appears that the remuneration received 9y eaors
of Tie Lit Is far from excessive IL certainty ior-s
small part OF tho m0'i JSHS NORTON PoMERoY
To the best OF my knowledge and belief no etor OF
The Yale Literary Magazine" from the CLASS oi oo
endeavored TO obtain his position from mercehary
noyes It has been possible to ascertain the op1uos
Of four out of the five editors OF the 80 Llt Doaru
and they unanimously agree with hn%h a III pHEhP
Editor of The Lit" Board for Class OF 50
Th,s is to say that the s7 Promenade Committee never
ha the s,igtcst thought approprating any surplus
a., th.r subscriptions and that the small amount by
.hanc. remaining after the payment Of all bills was
Given onehalf toward the payment Oh inc ueo' on "o
athletic field and one-half to the 6H q r ROGERS J
Chairman s7 Junior Promenade Committee.
The az class crew had the greatest dihcuty IN paying
expenses and to say that the thought of appo
prating any surplus ever entered tseir nenGs Is SIMPLY
"0 Captain 81 Class Crew.
Asamember and chairman of the Junior Promenade
Committee or the Class of SS, wish to state two facts
First, that there was pecuniary gain made by any
member of that committee and second. that member
of that committee had any idea Of pecuniary gan as is
proyen by the fact that the very beginning OF our
work II was unanimously voted by the committee 10 de-
vote any balance to whatever college interest VIC
thought most In need. SAMUEL d. "A'NH'' co.
The members of the Junior Promenade Committee OF
the Glass of 80 not made and will not make cent
of money in any by Of their being on this
committee Sufficient money has not yet been collected
TO nav the expenses the Promenade. but H. by
apy chance after collecting much OF the subscriDed
amount as is possible any slight surplus should remain
this surplus will be devoted In some way 10 iurthsilns
the general interests OF the university either oy i
being presented to some athletic organization INA,
stands In need OF money in some other way
TO the university at large. HENRY D. ROBINSON,
