WARFARE AGAINST YALE.
w. c. 7. U. Ant-Liquor Petition Contains
Implied Boycott Threat.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE w. c. I. U.
has forwarded a petition to President
Timothy Dwight of Yale University
asking him to forbid the use of alcoholic
liquors in the university The petition
which contains an implied threat tC
boycott the university unless President
Dwight complies with its terms, is gas
follows.
AS the students in our universities
and colleges are in large majority on
ly lads in their teens, and away from
the restraining influence of home, and
in view of the fact that these students
are the very flower of the American
youth, and are to be the future leaders
in literature, science, education and
government, as well as in many of the
industrial enterprises, and of the fact
that the use of intoXicants is exceeding.
ly detrimental to fixed habits Of study
to mental clearness and to moral char
acter, while the example of drinking
habits among students is very wildly
corrupting among the young men out
side of college, and who look upon col.
| lege men as examples of cultured man
liness.
Therefore, we, the undersigned par
ents, respectively, petition;
F'irst-That you will forbid students
alcoholic liquors are sold for beverage
use. to keep such liquors in their dor
mitories or rooms, or to have them fur
nished at their class or other spreads
and banquets.
Second-That you will use your great
influence to secure prohibition of the
sale of intoXicants within the city OF
New Haven, the same as has been Sc
cured at Cambridge. Until such action
! is taken by your honored body, much
as we honor Yale University, we feel
compelled to send our sons and brothers
to institutions where these provisions
for safety against intoxicating drinks
have been adopted.

OFF TO EUROPE NEXT WEEK.
E. S. Pierce and Wife to Leave Saturday
Upon a European Trip.

1t seems to be getting fashionable for
Worcester's road-drivers to forsake the
cares of business and the enjoyment of
racing on the avenue-when there is
snow-for travel Yesterday the Spy
stated that r. J. Healey, owner of Ar
thur Wilkes (219), intended to make a
trip to California, and now, comes the
announcement that L, S. Pierce, who
owns Major Wonder (2O9a4), is to sail
next week Saturday on the Fulda, for
Naples He will be accompanied by his
wife, and will be gone about six weeks.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce will spend the time
visiting the countries bordering upon
the Mediterranean sea.
Mr.. Pierce says that during his alb
sence, his horses will be only logged
upon the road, and not be given a parti-
Gle of fast work AS Mr.. Healey has
made a similar statement regarding Ar
thur Wilkes, it looks as il the horses
would be few and far between that could
give Abbie v. an argument on the snow
path. Arthur Wilkes and Major Won
der, by the way, are the only ones that
have beaten the gray mare out this
winter.
