New Haven Conn June 2a.-ghere
was a tremendous sensation on the Val
campus this afternoon, caused by an IN
expected remark Of Rev pr. Joseph
Twitchel Of Hartford during bis Grafton
at the dedication of the Wolsey memoir
ial statute
1t arose from the fact that the ivy
planted this afternoon was from the
grave OF General Robert E. Lee. Mr..
Twitchell holds a position among the
Yale alumni second only to that of
Chauncey M. Depew, and his words are
always given great weight.
In the course of his address, referring
to Dr. Wolsey, Dr. Twitchell said ole
was Union man, heart and soul, and 1t
would make his bronze statue avert its
head were he to know the graduating
class of Yale were to plant on the walls
of building on the campus an ivy
from The grave of General Robert E.
Lee. General Lee was good man, but
he Vas loyal to an infamous cause"
This utterance came like thunder
clap, but there was no demonstration
until he had finished, and then the cou
demnatory words were freely criticised.
The concensus of opinion among the
professors and seniors was that the re-
marks were at least Ill advised
Immediately after the dedicatory ex-
ercises the Ivy committee met and the
proposition was made to change the ivy,
but was voted down, and 1t was planted
with the usual ceremonies.
