 The planting of the class ivy by the class of '96 took place late yesterday afternoon. The ivy was brought from the grave of General Robert E. Lee and among the graduates and many under graduates who were seen last evening the sentiment was one of regret that that affair had happened. The class evidently wished to show the world and Especially the south that all i'll feeling caused by the war was a thing of the past and that the fact that this ivy was brought from the grave of such an illustrious general as Lee would cement forever, at least among college com munities, the north and south.
 Said a college student: "The college admits the fact that the war is over and that 1t is well to have harmonious feeling in our country, but it is just here where they object. Does it heal a breach? No. If 1t makes the south feel more amiable, it does not north It is waving a red flag in the very faces of large number of Yale men. It has caused more war talk, excitement and general criticism against '96 than any other one thing for many years past as a man. The, Yale men all admit Gen. eral Lee to have been one of the most competent generals our country has ever had, but the fact remains that his name Is an exponent of the War of the Rebellion on the wrong side. If any one denies all this it denies all that our country holds sacred and the Bible"
 Said another college man; No mon- ument of any description can be found on the campus to commemorate our Union soldiers brave deeds and the cause of the north therfore to plant an ivy which will commemorate the side of injustice and not only that but place the side of wrong above the side of right will not be tolerated by Yale men. Yale sacrificed some of her best sons to save our republic and establish a precedent unsurpassed by any coun- try, and the class of '96 Indicates to these heroes their mistake and folly. Some talk of pulling up by the roots and burning it, but the majority hope the class of '96 will remove this stigma upon their name and the implied stigma upon the university before it is too late"
