one evening he was sitting on the old Yale
fence discussing, among other thingsh
senior societies in the college. Althoug,,
one Of the popular men OF his class ne hao
not made senior society, and he was
speaking disparagingly OF the system when
Prof. Dana came along.
Prof Dana had been out OF college only
half dozen years and was a member OF
Scroll and Keys As he passed, young
Bowen made some particularly caustic re-
mark and Prof Dana hearing it took ex-
ception to the criticism. Tho two got into
a warm discussion, and Bowen knocked
the professors hat off.
The story of the affair Immediately was
circulated about the campus, and Bowen
was called before the faculty. He was
told that Prof. Dana asked for an apology
and that he would be expected to make
it before he could receive his degree.
Mr.. Bowen refused to apologize, saying
that he had nothing to apologize for. mas
much as Prof. Dana got into the SQla bible
himself The faculty then told him that when
he was ready to make the apology he would
receive his degree. Mr.. Bowen left college
without attending commencement
A member of the Yale Corporation, in
discussing the matter, said to-day that
Mr.. Bowen could have had his degree at
any time since if he had made the apology
Minister Bowen, however, never made
any attempt TO concilate the faculty in
any way. Among his classmates the Incl
dent was almost forgotten except to that
small body of particular friends who sym
pathized with Bowen and thought he had
been unjustly deprived of his dues.
When his name came up before the COM
mittee Of the university on honorary de-
grees this year there was lively discussion
az to what action was advisable. Many
OF the friends of Prof. Dana wished to take
only the stand on the matter which would
be pleasing to him, while some thought
that Mr.. Bowen had merited the honor
from his college, and that nothing should
interfere with his getting his degree at this
time. Prof. Dana settled the matter by
telling his friends that not only should he
not object to Mr.. Bowen's being honored
in this way, but that he thought the action
at this time very appropriate, and that he
heartily approved Of the idea. ------.

MINISTER BOWEN'S DEGREE,
Why YALE WAITED TW ENTY- FIVE
YEARS TO MAKE HIM A R. A.
He Knocked a Professors Hat Or Just
Before Graduation and Wouldn't ApOl-
oSize--Then the Faculty Held Up HIS
Diploma Till He Became Famous.

NEW HAVEN, July 49, Herbert W. Bowen,
Minister to Venezuela, was really graduated
from Yale University with the class OF
'03, although tho class with which he
finished his course was graduated quar-
ter OF century ago. When Prof. Berna-
dotte Perrin on commencement day rec
commended Minister Bowen for an honorary
degree as we'll as his long -delayed B. A.
degree, he said that Mr.. Bowen could have
had his B. A. degree at any time during
the last twenty five years that he chose To
take It.
To the members OF the class Of rs, Mr..
Bowen's class at Yale, Prof. PERKINS, re-
marks recalled an incident in Mr.. Bowen q
career which many had almost forgotten.
The reason that Mr.. Bowen did not get
his degree for twenty-five years was that
he had wrangle with Prof. Edward Sails
bury Dana Just before graduation, and
refused to apologize when requested TO
do.so, preHerring to lose his degree rather
than recede from the position he took in
the matter.
Since Mr.. Bowen has come into promi-
nence various versions OF the AFFAIR have
been related some Of the tales represent
ing him az snowballinx Prof. Dana, and
thereby mourning the wrath OF the young
professor and through him the displeasure
OF the whole faculty. The story, as told
by O member Of the class OF IS, is that the
trouble arose over the discussion OF secret
society matter.
Ii was in June and young Bowen had
successfully passed all his examinations
and was waiting for commencement. when

of the villas, who keep horses and enjoy
many of the Injuries of suburban life. But
they do not treat the island of Manhattan
as summer resort. They buy their fruits
and vegetables from the markets, and
their hay in bales from somebody further
down town. When summer comes the
women of such households leave their
villas for seaside or mountain, and the men
are left to occupy the half-empty houses.
The one remaining farm of Manhattan
is not likely for many years TO preserve ito
character. 1t is only short time since
another such farm was cut up and sold
to land spectators. New streets are even
now advancing upon the remaining farm,
and its hay fields are threatened. Trolley
cars are buzzing not far away, and the new
rapid transit system is soon TO bring the
farm within easy communication to down.
