Yale alumni scored another hit yea-
terday as the center of attraction during
the celebration of commencement week.
The graduates had all their reunions,
beginning with the general business
meeting in the morning. the special
sessions of the different classes at moor,
the grouping of oil dchuns in their fa,-
vorite haunts, the parade to the base
ball game and the wind up of the GER
eral jollification with banquets at the
different club houses and halls last
evening.
The baseball game was the incentive
for the classes to break forth in vocal
discords of all kinds. The war whool2s
of 1901's painted tribe, the bursts of
melody from the lusty threats Of 1901
academic tars and the deep toned bene-
dictions of 1885 friars, poured forth
upon their frivolous lay brothers-the
clowns Of '9S S.
At 10 o'clock the first function of the
day began when the general alumni
meeting was convened in Alumni hall.
This meeting was much less informal
than all preceding sessions, for 1t had
yesterday the added feature Of the an
nual address of President Hadley,
which heretofore had been reserved for
the annual commencement day exer-
cise..
The meeting kas under the general
direction of Julian w. Curtiss, secre-
tary of the association, one of the
leading members Of the class of '79e

fund this year. Mr.. Curtiss called to
order this mornings meeting of the al
umni. A detailed account of the
speeches and of the address of Presi-
dent Hadley is found in another part

ture rooms Of the university, where
they had their reunion business meet
ings, elected officers for the reunions
when they gather here once more In
