NUT Be- UNDER LAWS BAN.
Social Club at Yale In Which All
Members Must Have Been
Under Arrest

The annual banquets of what is
known as the Criminal club, of Yale
university, are to be revived this year,
after having lapsed into desuetude for
a considera BILE time. The announce
ment has revealed to many the e..ist-
ence of perhaps the most peculiar So
cial organization in existence in the
New York Sun, membership has never
been based on the social or financial
status of the students taken, nor have
men been taken into the fold because
of their prominence in the world of
athletics, literature or debating. The
one requirement has been that the
proselyte shall have been arrested and
taken into the tolls of the law, wheth-
err guilty or innocent of the offense
with which he stood charged. Often
to secure membership in this exclu-
sive. yet thoroughly Democratic club,
students have violated the law and
then calmly awaited the coming OF the
police. as usual nonpresent at the time,
and permitted themselves o be taken
into custody. More often the men have
been cought red-handed without be-
ing able to escape the bluecoats. From
year to year the club has increased
in numerical strength, this depending
wholly on the law-breaking procliv-
tiles of the undergraduate in college at
the time At present the club num-
bers 100 members.
The annual banquets have long
held a prominent place in undergrad
uate life. Where and when these
feasts are held is never known to
the uninitiated until long afterward.
Usually however, they are given in
the grillroom of some student cafe
in New Haven, or at a hotel at some
of the nearby shore resorts. The
men assemble individually, and never
in conspicuous throngs. Every eff
fort is made to, avoid publicity. The
and end in the "wee sma' :" hours. The
men are ranged about the festive
board in the order of their criminality
that is, they sit near or far from
the head of the table as the crimes for
which they were arrested were great
or small. Usually, although the rule
is often violated. the man who has
done the most daring crime, given the
cops tie greatest battle, or who has
incurred the greatest punishment,
heads the table and acts as tics stmns-
ter. Toasts of the following kind are
responded to; Policemen Have
Met" "How to Steal Signs and Els
cape. by Ore Who Didn't" THE Re
ligious Aspect of Criminaiity," by y.
