 The plan for making some suitable gift to the new cruiser "Yale" has taken more definite form. A meeting of the committees appointed from each class to secure subscriptions from the students was held yesterday afternoon in Phelps hall. Dwight Day, chairman of the News, presided. It was first de- cided to present to the new boat 6 big silk banner, 10x15, of blue, with the word "Yale" in white. This flag is ex- pected to cost at least $150. In addition to this, many suggestions were made as to what would be a suitable present to make as token of the appreciation of the honor conferred upon the uni versity. Among other things it was suggested that bronze head would make most suitable gift. The men do not intend to do anything by halves, and will raise at least $2, ,OO0. Everyone in the university is intensely interest ed, and there will be no difficulty at all in raising the desired amount. But it is expected to give every one a chance, and word will be at once sent to every graduate in the country. The returns from these men ought to swell the fIfrI tni f6ny tyryioa the graduate clubs will be asked to re- ceive subscriptions and to forward them to the general committee. This general committee is made up of H. B. Wright '9S, S. G. Moon '98S., and Yan- dell Henderson of the Graduates club. They immediately telegraphed to As sistant Secretary Roosevent and John Addison Porter, secretary to President Mckinley, asking that they suggest some appropriate gift.
