clubs. The Easter recess is brief with
regard to it's social possibilities as
there are but two evenings for the col
lege men and maidens to enjoy their
homecoming in the way of entertain
ments. Owing to the fact that Mr..
and Mrs. Il. j. Bennell will give a
coming-out party for Miss Bennell on
Easter Monday night it has been de-
cided to have the assembly at the BIZ
cycle club on Tuesday night after the
Yale concert. Thus the visiting men
will practically be given a reception
and dance, while the assembly will re-
ceive additional attraction by their
presence.
At Yale there is perhaps no more
popular undergraduate organization
than the Glee and Banjo club. To be a.
member of this organization is, in the
minds of many students, to reach the
zenith of collegiate ambition. Every
undergraduate who can hum an air or
strum a banjo or tinkle guitar hopes
some day to have his ambition realized
and secure one of the coveted posi-
tions. There is untold pleasure and
enjoyment to be had from the trips
which the club makes, and certain hon
or and distinction goes with member
ship in the club.
The selection of members of the or
ganization is made with the greatest
care by competitive examinations Of
applicants from all parts of the Uni
versity thereby keeping the club up to
very high standard. Both organiza-
transforming one club-are under the
direction of competent professional
musicians, the gentleman who directs
the Glee club having held that position
for over twenty years. Immediately
after the clubs are completed rehear-
sails begin ana continue with the in
dcmitable perseverance that is so
characteristic of Yale, until the men
are perfect in their parts.
The Monday Morning club has issued
invitations to an illustrated lecture
From Lexington to Yorktown" to be
given by Mr. w. w. Ellsworth, the ac-
couplished speaker. Thursday evening,
March "a, at the Bicycle club. The
Monday Morning club has been for
some time deVoting its attention to
American history, having adopted that
line of reading several months before
the general fad for this topic swept
over the reading clubs of America and
evolved an enlarged edition of Daugh-
tcrS of the American Revolution, Col
onial Danes ct al. The club members
are: Mrs. r. w. Archibald, Mrs. w.
FL. Buell., Mrs. Alfred Hand, Mrs. Rog-
ers Israel, Mrs. +. S. Moffat, Mrs. j..

Just now the members of the Coun-
try club feel more or less afflicted ac-
cording to their several abilities in the
way of being expert in lodging loco
motives while playing golf. If the
proposed connection of the Erie and
Wyoming with the Ontario and West
ern railroad is completed the beautiful
links of the Country club will be ire
parably injured. The track as recently
surveyed will run between the first and
second trees. The result will probably
be that the course will be carried
further back, while that now used in
front, near the proposed site of the
| railway, will be abandoned.
