| Quartcrs-Julian Kennedy's Story.
New HA VEN, June 27.-Yale's kiltie class
Of 'o2 here for its triennial, shivered at
times to-day during the alumni day festivi-
ties. There had been drop OF forty
degrees in the temperature from yesterday,
and the Yale kitty would have given a
shillin' or twa to be able to let out few
reefs.
On Yale Field this afternoon it was pretty
uncomfortable for some Of the trouserless
'O2, and many OF them had their legs
wrapped in wooden blankets while they sat
on the grass cheering for the Yale nine.
At the alumni meeting to-day stir was
created by William II. Drury Of Waltham.
Mass. who sailed into the officers Of the
alumni meeting charging that the class Of
'e5 had been neglected in the arrangements
for the speakers for this gathering.
4 would like to remind YOU" said no,
that there was once such class; 1t is still
on deck and is mighty good GLASS, too.
There are thirty Of US back for reunion,
but half Of the class refused to come near
this meeting because we were ignored.
Why, we have in our GLASS two members
of the Congress and a whole lot Of men
who have done as much for Yale and the
human race as any graduate of this college.
There sits John F. Dryden. a Senator from
New Jersey and the head of one Of the
greatest enterprises In this country. There
Is John Dalzell OF Pennsylvania, me mber
OF the Ways ard Means Committee and one
Of the most influential men IN the House
There has been lot said here about the
beautiful way Yale is being rum but want
| to tell you you would not have deficits and
that proposed endowment fund Of s., 900 900
| could be raised in short order il you went
about things in the right way Why John
| Dryden would give a million himself IL
| you handled him right"
When Mr.. Drury had finished speaking
right out in meeting member Of an older
| class than 'e5 arose. Il move, said he
| that the lowest stand man Of each Rradu-
| ating class hereafter be appointed to act as
secretary for the GLASS of IS. and see that
'65 does not get left out again Cheers
| greeted this suggestion and the tension
| was relaxed.
United States Senator Elect Frank B.
Brandegee of New London. Yale 49,, was
! brought as a gift of love and appreciation
| to our alma mater a larger sum OF money
than was ever given before by any class
upon its, twentieth reunion. The la}
Mahal, the most beautiful architecture!
| structure in the world, was built at cost OF
$40 900 900 by King AkDar to crafty
woman's whim and his own vanity. Among
the alumni of Yale are men richer by far
than King Akbar and to them say that
there is no such avenue to the upbuildlng OF
this country and the elevation OF posterlty
as the liberal endowment of this grand old
university.
Bring on your tainted money! We will
purify it with the ale spirit and consecrate
1t to the blessed mission Of educating noble
men to uphold the institutions OF our glorious
country, and with wisdom. patriotism and
liberal conservatism. keep her in the front
rank Of the nations Of the world,
Mr.. President, | read your baccalaureate
sermon. Every man in this land should
read it 1t fairly teens with the Yale spirit
the spirit Of the Golden Rule, the spirit OF
fair play, the spirit of the square deal.
In Japan to-day there is philosophy known
as 'bushido'-it combines chivalry, honor,
self-sacrifce and courage.
AS have followed the results achieved
by the practise of this creed have been led
to believe that some Of the Japanese students
who have attended this classic institution
have simply imported the Mkado's sample
package Of Yale spirit and the seed fell upon
fertile ground.
Julian Kennedy rs, the old Yale oar. was
introduced as former yale Hercules.
He said: THE Yale spirit was pushed along
by Bob Cook as no man ever before or since
could push it. I'll give you an instance.
When training at Springfield for an ntercol-
legiate boat race the crew was taken out for
a sail. A squall overturned the saiDoat
and we all went overheard.
Il had the misfortune to get tangled up
under the sail and was the last one to reacn
ticed was missing and exclaimed in tones
Of anguish: My God! Kennedy is gone
and only two days to the race
THAT was the Yale spirit"
President Hadley this afternoon sub
mtted his annual report to the alumni,
He says this of the luxurious quarters used
by some students:
sThe figures of the deans report show
the mischief which Is done when fresh
men and sophomores sacrifice their intel
lectual prospects to their social ones, real
or supposed, by seeking the more luxurious
and less democratic quarters which pri-
yate houses afford. So many of these men
get dropped that the evil tends to correct
itself. But this ia an unsatisfactory way
of making the correction; and any parent
who encourage his boy to room among
crowd of friends who care more for the
lighter sides of college life than for the
serious ones should know that It is likely
to have an adverse effect upon his sons
more than ordinary power Of resisting
temptation
Or. Hadley had this to say about Greek:
at has been charged by critics OF the
old system OF classical study that Greek
has been a college fetch. This certainly
has rot been the view at Yale. We re-
uuired Greek in the past, not because we
worshiped Greek, but because In times
past the Greek teachers in the schools were
the ones who were best able to insist on
certain kinds Of training which we thought
our students needed. Some schools now
have French teachers who can give this
same kind OF training in French We are
ready to accept the boys from those schools
is not a departure from our old principles,
but a continuation of it. The mai ority
Of French teachers are as yet unable to
meet our requirements regarding French.
