GRADUATING ADDRESSES IN THEOLOGY.
NewHsven Conn, Feb. 10 (SpeciaD-It is not
often that the faculty of Yale get chance to play
Jokes their students, but this year they nave ah
an opportunity that they will not forget for II
has caused no end of merrment For scores OF years
all the students have had great sport on the ami
versaries of Washingtons birth. on those days mem
bers of the freshman class have been permitted TO carry
canes for the first time during their college year
At first canes Of ordinary size satisfied the Ideas OF
the fedgings, bnt the years passed the desire Tor
something startling developed, until during the last
two years the selected often measured four
or five inches in diameter and dgnifed by the
name of Dangers that name being given them because
OF the tremendous racket their owners MADE by stfh
ing the sidewalk with them. During some portion Of
the day. IL having long been the custom to omit rccl-
tations after the morning hour, the students always
INDUCED in rush." and not infrequenty a score
or more Of cOngenial spirits would march through the
streets, occupying the whole sidewalk and obhging
all pedestrians 70 walk In the gutter. The town peo-
pie recognized the fact that it was the annual romphg
day Of the students, and good-nauredly accepted the
situation and often enjoyed it.
During the last few years the faculty have been
quietly dscouragng the disposition 10 paint the Town
rich vermillion, and last year, in obedience TO the
expressed wish OF the faculty all the classes voted
not to make any demonstration on the streets. The
freshmen carried the traditional Dangers, however
and i'll the evening large number Of the students
visited the opera house and caused the utmost pandt
moDum TO reign.
This year the faculty gave tho students to unde'
stand that they would very much prefer that The
dangers be dispensed with and that no demonstration
Of any kind be made. A. an incentive 70 refrain
from the usual pranks the students were told That
they decided 10 make no demonstration during any
portion Of the day. they would be given holiday after
the morning recitation. Many students desired 10

a holiday and all the classes voted accordingly. >c--
erday they for the first time discovered that February
90 hi, wear came on saturday. There is only one
recitation on any saturday, that the young men have
been caught nicely. 1t is not known that the faculty
actually intended 10 play Joke on urr 'a'-c-'
but most Of the men think they did and they are
having no end Of fun over it. While the annual
PUSHES and demonstrations generally resulted do con
siderable ENJOYMENT 10 the students. they DO not ~
cret that they have decided 20 discontinue the pric
tices so long INDUCED in. The anniversary OF wash
ncton's birthday thus marks the death Of one q" the
very few remaining relics Of the days when the SIN
dents of Yale turned tie town into bear garden AZ
