LOAN ASSOCIA-
 TIONS PRAISED
In the Annual Report of Commissioner
 Webster.

In the Annual Report of Commissioner
 Webster.
 The annual report of Commissioner Webster on building and loan associa- tions in this state shows assets of $4, 245648, an increase of $87S44 over 1901. Cash increased $68,S44 mortgage loans decreased $59299, share loans increased $25,315 and real estate $S5,159.
 The commissioner praises the man agement of the associations which he considers in the highest degree philan- throptc and useful, adding that the state ought to contain more of them than 1t does. In regard to the Hart ford Building and Loan association, which suspended some time ago, the commissioners says that it's troubles have been due wholly by the shrinkage of values in real estate and that from present indications the loss will be small. He especially praises the officers of the local associations in general, who serve for small pay and from high mo- tives.

GENERAL CONFERENCE COMMIT
 TEE.
Names of Yales Permanent Board of
 Twelve Announced.

Names of Yale's Permanent Board ot
 Twelve Announced.
 The general conference committee
 which is to represent Yale in all future
 negotiations with Harvard in all
 branches of athletics has been named. | It is composed of the eight captains and
 managers of the baseball, football, crew
 and track teams, together with four l graduates who still maintain lively | interest in the athletic affairs of the university These four graduates have been named by the captains and man. agers because this body of eight men is virtually the seat of authority in Yale l athletics.
 l The committee in entirety is as fol- | lows: Walter Camp, Anson Phelps Stokes Professor Theodore Woolsey and Henry B. Sargent, of the gradu- a.tes; George Chadwick, captain of the football team; Philip Kunzig, of the crew; Raymond Guernsey, of the base ball team; Newell Hargrave, of the track team; Allan Fox, manager of the football team; Hugh Satterlee, of the baseball team; Charles Gould, of the track team, and Roderick Potter, of the crew.
 Before this committee has any power to act it will have to be ratified by the students in mass meeting assembled. This meeting will be held next Friday night and there is no doubt but that the appointments will all be ratified at that time.
 This general conference committee is in reality a general working committee, which will meet and draft plans for changes in the rules governing any matters now existing between the two universities. They will draw up an agreement which will present Yale's side of the case, and do any other busi ness along general lines.
 When there is need for a conference with the representatives from Harvard a special conference committee of three or five members, as the case may be, will be selected from this general com mittee and this special committee will have full power to act in any matters that may arise.
 With the appointment of this com mittee comes the fulflment of the de- sire of many that there be some tangi- ble head to the athletics of the unvier- sity and where all matters of dispute of any nature may be permanently and speedily settled.
 Albert R. Lamb, chairman of the Yale Daily News, will preside at the meeting Friday.
