President Dwight and President elect
Hadley of Yale were returning home
from the annual alumni dinner when
they were caught III the rain. says the
Troy Press. Prcsidcnt-elect Hadley had
an umbrella with him and President
Dwight had not. Prof. Hadley, of course,
wished the retiring president of Yale to
protect himself from the rain by the use
of the umbrella, but President Dwight
declined to rob Prof. Eadley of his UNI
hrella in order that he himself might
ward off the rain. Prof. Hadley. how
ever. insisted that President Dwight &C
cept the courtesy, and his arguments be
came so energetic that finally President
Dwight turned and said: See here
Hadley. this is my reign still. Your reigr
doesn't commence until tomorrow.
Coresidont-elec Hadley allowed the presi
dent of Yale TO have his own way on the
last day Of his administration.

1898 an English tourist came along
with the derby hat. and in very few
years they became the general head

derby hats is nearly evenly divided.
