Pleasant RecoIlections by One VINO
Knew Him There.

A special despatch from New Haven,
Conn. 10 the Philadelphia Times says
Two men, Anthony Higgins ana =;
Wolcott who will become United
States Senators on March 4. are Yale
men. The alumni Of the university and
fhe undergraduates are consequently
elated Classmates and professors who
knew Mr.. Higgins when "a student and
who have followed his course since gradu-
alton. have been talking about him since
his election Many accounts of Mr. Hig
gins when student and been pub
published, but few do him Justice.
The new Delaware Senator graduated
at Yale in the class of 81. He entered in
the sophomore year and from the start
made a mark and reputation for himself
Perhaps no estimate of the man is so cor
rect as that of his classmates, one which
takes into account all his surroundings and
gives himself credit for what he does or
Is. He completed his freshman year at
the Delaware College and came to Yale to
complete his course. He was member
of the Psi Epsilon Fraternity. Of Skull
and Bones and OF Phi Beta Kappa He
was q man with square nose, not over
prominent, strong, rigid face, close smut
mouth and strong, well-formed Jaws
His eyebrows were heavy and his eyes
exhibited a strength of thought and char
acter that made him marked man.
To his friends he was sociable, agree
able and a general favorite. There was
about this man Just enough Of the old
Southern aristocracy to make him enter
tanning and to give him dignity. His
forte MSS In debate and his chief interest
was in those subjects pertaining to politi
cal life. In securing the Delaware Sena
torship he has done just what he wa
always expected to do when he graduated
In class meeting or debate his voice wa
always heard with pleasure.
By dint OF hard study he secured tn
Phi Beta Kappa key. and by general GOO
character. popularity and excellence II
debate, as we'll as by his inherent natura
abilities and good scholarship, he secures
his election TO Bones. He was then, a
now, close student, good reasoner AM
clear thinker
While in college his most intimat
friends were Professors S. r. Baldwin an
Tracy Peck. There were in college a
the same time several men who have sine
attained distinction. In the class Of D
were professors Lounsbury and A. w
Wright In the class above him wer
Professor Marsh, William Walter Phelps
Professor Eugene Richards and Brayto
Ives. In the class below were Elk Cover
nor Daniel II. Chamberlain, Professo
Coe Of New York and Professor Taylor Q
