Settlement There and Sill Cling to
 the BIue.
 Nesting in the center of the most
 aristocratic portion of Cambridge, and
 just on the outskirts of the wide
 spreading grounds of Harvard univer-
 sity. a miniature Yale settlement has
 sprung up recently which grows and
 f1ourishes in the midst of its ancient en-
 emies, says the Boston Post. Less than
 a quarter of a mile from Harvard
 square, following the insulating lines
 of Brattle street, one comes to an old
 ivy-coyered church, standing in one of those quaint old places for which Cam
 bridge is so renowned.
 Behind t.:is church and iutting out
 parallel with it toward the road is, a
 dormitory equally well covered with
 vines, and the two buildings are so
 joined by another structure at the rear
 that deep sort of letter U is formed,
 looking out toward Brattle street. This
 queer old spot is known as Little
 Yale.'' Here, surrounded by their old,
 foes on field and gridiron, small host
 of Elrs, still soyal to their alma mater,
 live and defy the crimson spirit which
 exists on every hand. Little Yale" ~ Little Yale" in other words, is Win
 throp hall, the recognized dorrnitory at
 Harvard for New Haven men. These men are mostly in the Harvard law schooi-for in this one respect they re-
 cognize crimson superiority. Yale also has law school, but few really self-re-
 specting Ellis will condescend to go to it. No, they prefer to come to Cambridge and get touch of Harvard life.
 Once here, they scoff at everything. of course. Everything amuses them, and they wonder why in the dickens" they did not go to Columbus or some other place. Still, year after year from sixty to one hundred Ellis invode the crimson camp and settle" upon Cambridge peo- pie for these long years. If the Yale men who come to Cambridge were not the most prominent graduates of that university, Harvard might indeed think that their alleged scoffing at her was in every way sincere As it is, however, some of the brightest and best-known men come from New Haven to the crimson law school, and many of them take high rank in the adopted depart
 ment of their rival university.
 l A Good Example.
 A good example of the excellent spir- l it which eventually exists between them was furnished last week with the election of T. W. Swan, Yale, 1900. as marshal of the present third-year class in the Harvard law school This posi- ton is one of the very highest in the wift of the third-year class. Many
 Yale men in the past have held honor able positions at Harvard, but none has ever reached so high a place as | Swan, who, besides being marshal, was elected to the Harvard Law Review in his second year, and at present is edi- tor-fn-chfef of that famous magazine. | Little Yale,'' in fact, is the most loy- al Yale settlements The men there are enarly all rich, and they stand by their college to the last. Whenever q liar yard man wants to risk money on the crimson he knows he can get satisfac- | ton there, and probably no set of men l in Cambridge are more excited over a. great football or baseball game or a dual or intercollegiate athletic contest than are these self-same Ellis who live and flourish in Little Yaie'' 1 Famous Men. Many famous Yale men have lived in their little settlement in Cambridge. | Griswold, the old oarsmen, Feary, the famous pitcher, and Sawyer, the catcher, are only few of the names which one might mention. Many of these old athletes still keep up their training in. the Hemenway gymnasium or on Soldiers field, and each year a Yale baseball nine is organized in the law school, which invariably carries \ away all honors from It's rival hines. 1 The Yale men practice for these l games in the little enclosure between l Winthrop hall and the church already mentioned. But they practice in fun- \ ny way. Usually they play with ten- his ball, just as the seniors do on the ! campus at New Haven. This is class I privilege at Yale, whereas no one, I whether a senior or not, is allowed to throw any kind of a ball in the yard at
