ROUGH RIDERS MEMORIAL


Build an Archway at Yale.
The classmates of Theodore West
wood Miller, Yale, '97, who enlisted in
Roosevelt's rough riders and was killed
at the battle of San Juan hill, are pre-
pairing a memorial of him in the form
Of a gift to Yale. 1t is proposed to raise
by subscription among Mr., Miller's
classmates about 81, 900 with which to
erect an archway between Battell chapel
and Durfee hall.
The structure is in line with the now
almost finished plan Of the quadrangle.
1t is proposed to have all the spaces be-
tween the college buildings closed by
gates and archways. The most ornate of
these is Phelps hall, and about three
years ago Mrs. Winchester furnished
the funds for the gateway between
Vanderbilt and the Chittenden library
IN High street. The space to be occu-
pied by the Miller archway has long
been known among Yale men as the
Pass ~Thermopyla. 1t derives this name
from the practice, on Omega lambda
Chi night, of rushing the freshmen
through the narrow detile to the accom-
paniment of the cuffs and kicks Of the
upper class men, The completion of the
archway will make a continuous line of
masonry from Osborn hall on College
street to Alumni hall on Elm. When
the whole quadrangle is inclosed in this
way, it is the purpose of the faculty to
shut all the gates at an appointed hour,
after the fashion of the English uni
versities, and to impose a penalty upon
the students who fail to get in.
MI. Miller was a graduate of Yale in
the class of 81. During his college days
he was prominent in an athletic and 50.
cial way. After graduation he entered
the New York Law school and left his
studies to enlist i'll the rough riders. He
was one of the first to fall at San Juan.
