OBJECTION 70 DR. JEFFERSON.
Yale Disapprovai Of His appointment to
the I University Corporation.

NEW HAVEN, Dec. 1O.--Col. Norris g. o.
horn, editor OF the New Haven Rco'ster
always a strong hacker Of Yale University,
tonight shows disapproval of the recent
appointment Of the Rev DR.. Charles,
+. Jefferson Of New York city to the Yale
Corporation. He said editorially'
In so far rs his reelection suggests a lack
OF material in Connecticut and absence OF
material among Yale graduates in New
York churches. it IL to be depiored. There
is no necessity whatever to seek for one Of
Its managers a man outside hhe brother
hood OF Yale. There ia always a necessity
TO have the vacancies on the corporation
hlied by men who belong TO the brother
hood and who are imbuei with the spirit
and traditions Of the insti, ution
We are prepared, therefore, to learn that
this latest smashing Of practice al Yale IL not
regarded favoraby 10y Yale men al large,
but Ia looked upon more as a smashing act
OF the Carrynation order. Had the corpora
ton been moved by a more distinctly Yale
spirit II would have pelected a Connecticut
clergyman who IL a graduate Of Yale, with
out regard to his denomination, There
would have been real progress.
a stili better move would have been the
election OF lay graduate and resident Of
the State"

The chamber has for several years
been making efforts to have a first-class
Business College located in this city. l
am pleased to report the removal of
Kings Business College to Raleigh, and
that nearly one hundred students are
now in attendance upon it's day and
evening lessons. This gives our young
men and women an opportunity to large
ly increase their ability to obtain en-
ployment, and it is Of financial benefit to
the community
The college debates for possession of
the Chamber of Commerce Silver Cup,
which are held annually on Thanks
giving. evening will, this year be a con-
test between Wake Forest College and
Richmond College, and will, no doubt,
bring a large number of visitors to the
city.
The Improvement to our streets and
sidewalks arc being continued to some
extent. This is a matter that the
Chamber will continue to work for in
the future as it has in the past.
Other matters of Importance are under
consideration, and will engage the at
tention of the Chamber during the next
year. An effort is now being made by a
few of our members to organize and to
charter a company for the purpose Of
pushing forward whatever will be Of
benefit to Raleigh.
The outlook for the city is excellent
and more progress has been made during
the past ten years than was made in
the previous twenty years, and the OPP
portunities for usefulness by this Cham
Der were never greater.
