AMONG HARTFORD YALE MEN. New Haven Well Represented-Yale's Morals-The Gym Fund-Yale's Ath- | letfcs-The Professor Baldwin AP- pOtntment-Yale and Chfcago-Col- lege Men and National Positions.
 The Hartford Yale Alumni association had merry and very interesting time at their banquet Wednesday night in that city and their guests did also.
 Professor Richards went home happy and 80 did the rest of the alumni because of one of the incidents of the evening. Shortly after the professors speech MT. Hyde said he was able to announce that Frank B. Brandsgee had promised $500 towards the gymnasium fund, if the re- maining $500 that Professor Richards wanted would be raised. Before the end of the evening the total subscription had risen to $1, ,2s5, with possibility of going still higher.
 Speaking of the close association of the state of Connecticut and Yale university, Postmaster Hyde called up Governor Lu- zon B. Morris, who was greeted with hearty applause. The governor linked himself to the historic past by referring to | the fact that he bought and built bis home | upon the spot of ground which formerly | was used for the burial of Euclid. He sec | onded President Dwight's declaration of the improved morals and higher tone of the | Yale student community of the day.
 President George Williamson Smith of Trinity college paid handsome tribute to Yale's strength and glory and pointed in way that brought the applause of the com- | pany to the peculiar field of colleges like Trinity. Before closing President Smith uttered his earnest exhortation in favor of | the movement in Ysle's athletic world, to restrict the members of the teams to the college itself. It, alone, would allow the athletic associations of all colleges to re- main. Else the sisterhood of colleges must disappear. President Smith said that Yale was the one to properly take the lead in this matter. What she did others would do.
 | Luoius F. Robinson '65, in his opening remarks, said: "Since being subpensed to talk to night, I have studied the menu cards of former banquets for a toast tc speak to; but all the good old Yale subjects | seem to have their particular advocates | We look to either MT Twitchell or John | AOQlBOn 1Ort6t TOT 6ulORicS upOu Guo hle l corporation; Professor Richards somehow always picks out the diamonds from the grit and sand of the Yale athlete; ouI l chairman of to night seldom fails in, and also by, his eloquent tributes to honor the | memory of 'Linonia' and Brothers in | Unity And a subject upon which fec that I might speak with some degree oi intelligence, forsooth, President Dwight has copyrighted under the title Vale, Hel Greatness To-day-Her Poverty when the Class of 's5 Went Out and I Came In. The only subjects which occur tt me not pre- empted are 'The Sacred Fraterpal bonds of dear old Omega Lumb l da Chi,' subject which might arouse 90 l ciety jealousies; and The New Haver ! Giri,' to recall whom Is to strike minol | chord on too many heart strings, anC whose grey hairs are getting too thin fol me to attempt to comb"
 l J. Gilbert Calhoun in his speech allud ing to the late controversy over Judge Bald wins appointment in the legislatur' said: While the matter was trembling il the balance between the two houses, wh, was there not a voice from this or so1n, other Yale Alumni association in behalf O. l brother graduate TO say to the genera assembly: "Gentlemen, we ask you tt confirm this nomination for we believe l that hi- selection confers an honor on tn, governor and the state as we'll as the pro fessor" GO not only fail to see any ex hibition of poor taste in such an endorse ment, but believe that loyalty to ourselves ank to our university demands that suct opportunities be not neglected.
 Further along Mr. Calhoun said: |" think. too, the tendency of the time should rouse in us some loftier spirit O comradeship, than that which Is perfectl, content with yearly dinner or reception There never was 8 time in the history O our country when the student and thu professional man played so small part il affairs of state as to day. MT. Clevelsnt and MT. Croker are, each in his own way fairly representative of the influences tha are now governing the selection of publi' servants. The one has recently announced that his coming administration is to be business mems opportunity, while thu other makes his proclamation that in tn, distribution of patronage in New Yorl politicians. Where. then, is the man O education to come ina Why is there sosrcel, a single graduate of Yale or Harvard in th | United States senates The heresy of thu age is that success in commercial life aDt the accumulation of wealth fit a mar for holding high position in th state or nation. Let two candidates fo | AppOluILueut COIu6 IOTWaIu AuQ SHOW tQel recommendations. One says, I have beeI an earnest student at Yale for many year and have taken the degree of master o arts.' The other says, I've got factor, for making horse blankets and I am wortl $250, ,000' And the horse blankets will beat tue degree nine times out of ten, fo the public to-day are clsmorous for busi ness men and business methods believe we have something higher t. unite us than mera memories"
 Further on in speaking of the flow O money to Chicago university he said "What comparison can there be betweel that and Valet The one 8 mere ambition the other crowned with the glory and sue cess of two centuries; the one shaft sunl by prospecting party, the other a min' that has paid its priceless dividends fo; generations; the one an Alma Mater wht has not yet borne her first graduate, tn, other the fruitful m other of children ant children's children. And yet Yale to-ds, goes half clothed while wealth unequsllet is poured into the lap of this prairie babs. | In conclusion he said:
 | In Japan the unmarried girls only wea the red petticoat, which peeps out 80 pret tily at times or glistens through the sum mer dress of silken crepe. After marriage they doff this viIginsl garment, and, as i was with Whittier's, so with the Japsnes, Maud Muller, 'care and sorrow and child birth pain leave their traces on the ono, blooming and willowy form, in which hel partner DO longer delights And SO they have the pathetic proverb Love leaves with the red petticost Gentleman, pray you to do more for your university to take higher interest in her welfare her fame, her possibilities, and to cline closer to your fellow alumnity. Let not your love tor Yale and YaIe's children leave with the sheepskin."
