The daily morning journal and courier., 1901-10-23

I plete and directed by Burt Van Buren,
 while the props were cared for by Bob
 Kelly, also of the Hyperion staff. The first scene was entitled "The Pounding of the Collegiate School, 1701." /"
 The scene was laid in the house of Rev | MT. Russell of Branford MT. Russell
 was shown the books which he had rromised to give for the founding of Yale Nine other ministers presently | entered, one and two at time each l carrying the books he had promised for l the founding of the college. Solemnly | all laid their gifts upon the table, com init them to Mr Russels keeping and l join in prayer for the success of the undertaking.
 l Following this scene the chorus gave | the famous college songs Here's to ! Good Old Yale" and "Eli Yale" Seventeen years are supposed to [ have elapsed before the next scene. A | building has been secured and the col | lege is Iiow on something of firm foot 1 ing.
 1 The title of the scene is The Remov | al of the School Library from Say
 brook to New Haven, 170S." The scene
 is in violent contrast to the first one.
 The students rise in rebellion. Cover
 nor Sa;tonstall aged and infirm, lean ing on his staff hobbies into the pres cree of the coElpany. He is accom-
 panied by tre sheriff and followed by a
 crowd of New Haven townspeople. The | governor manages to say: For the good of the colony this school must be moved to New Haven, no matter what | they say. Here is your warrant! Sher- | If, do your duty!' The sheriff rushes | forward, followed by the New Haven ers and the books which have been in
 rage thrown upon the ground and loaded into a wheelbarrow and carted away.
 Washington at Yale' is the subject | of the third scene. The stirring times
 of the Revolution are at hand. The entire undergraduate body is afire with patriotism. A company has been or ganized and in the middle of a discus sion by some of those too young to | join the company a captain arrives and announces the coming of General | Washington. The general enters and
 the company executes a drill that leads | the future first president of the United
 States to accept their services. He is
 escorted on his way by the company of
 undergraduates.
 ] Scene four shows another year to
 have elapsed, for the date is September | 22, of the year 1776 Nathan Hale has been arrested and is to be hanged as spy. He stands by the historic tree. | Around limb over b:s head is the rope with the moose. just above his l head, open and eager to receive its vic- l tim. In the rear and at the side stand
 the British troops, grim and immova-
 ble. apparently not sympathetic
 heart in the whole assembled company. | A long step is taken between the
 next scene and the last. The date is
 1S50-60 and the setting is from the tra-
 ditions of the limitations of freshmen
 societies. Stocks and guillotines skele- ] tons and hooded beings make a dread " ful and aweinspiring scene until finally 1 cloaks are thrown aside and the fresh-
 men are shown being initiated.
 The same period of time is represent l ed by showing the "Buring of Euchid. '" | The undergraduates hatred for the
 classic is shown by the burning of all
 valumes just before the term examina-
 tions.
 l "1S70-1SS0' is the date of the seventh ! scene and it was easily within the nemiry of perhaps one-half of the
 graduates present. The old Yale fence
 was shown. Seated on 1t were students
 donned in the fashion of the day and | discussing the new bicycle called | safety, which then had first come into
 use. Hannibal with his basket of can- | dies Is introduced and in his most real | istic and persuasive manner says
 "Gentlemen will you have something
 to-day?"
 The next scene takes the same set | ting, but is a decade later. quar-
 tette of students are gathered at the
 fence and holding an evening session singing college glees and songs of the l day.
