THE CRIMINAL CLUB.

The Criminal Club at Yale fills want that
has been felt since universities have been
established. 1t is delightful to see that old Eli
has now, once and for all, put herself at the
head of the great confraternitles of learning by
introducing a means of recognizing and singing
out In an authoritative way an element that
has long had rightful claim to such recOg-
milton. Hitherto it has been Irregular, sporadic,
traditional, bruited about when one two
undergraduates, or more. have been gathered
together. But the Criminal Club comes
boldly before the world. Its members have
been passed upon by competent authority and
by the simple exhibition Of the little golden
handcuf can prove their right to standing all
their own The Criminal Club is limited to
those undergraduates who have come into such
official relations with the police that they have
had to spend time behind the bars of the station
house. 1t is gratifying to know that the honor
Of it's membership is not lightly given, though
eagerly claimed by many, and that painstaking
investigation Of police blotters and the personal
testimony of obliging officers has been made
before any claimant is enrolled. The practice
Of giving fictitious names upon arrest which.
we believe. is not confined to Yale undergradu-
ates or indeed to undergraduates ut all, has de-
layed and perhaps even completely prevented
in some cases the bestowng of honor where
honor was due. 1t may be supposed that in
future the real name backed up by every
means of identification, will be freely given by
the young gentlemen Of Yale who find them
selves honored by the close attentions Of guar
dians of the peace. But at any rate the Grim
inal Club is founded upon the right basis
The little golden handcuff dangling from the
watch chain Introduces a standard into
undergraduate life. Ever since universities
were invented their members have considered
themselves in varying degrees exempt from the
rules and regulations governing the everyday
life OF the workaday community. 'Tewn and
gown" conflicts are as old as universities them
selves, and, whether the question at issue has
been bonfire In celebration Of football vic.
tory or n conspiracy for the freedom Of q ma
ton. the undergraduates have seemed bound to
get into collision sooner or later with the pow
ers that be. 1t runs in the blood. But it has
remained for Yale to exempify the OrganiZa-
ton and identification Of interests that charac-
terize modern life, to signaliZe participation In
such things-the participation that is that has
led TO capture-by this honor Of club member
ship.
II might seem at first as II the Criminal Club
were rather reversing the natural order Of
things by marking out unsuccessful crime for
its distinctions. It might be supposed that
cess consisted in doing the deed and eudng
the pursuit of justice. Thus. the stealing of
signs. as proper and we'll recognized method
Of interior decoration. attains its decorative oh

not caught. And we have heard Of college So
