The Yale students are more polite
an the Harvard students, at least
1t is what the 25 or so Yale goods
!, reports the New York Sun. AL.
ough the Yale men did not grow en-.
Isiastic when it was announced a
" years ago that Yale was going to
low the example of the Cambridge
.iversity and allow the women to
ldy with them, at least in the grad
tie school, they didn't make any
olCnt objection to the plan, and
.rt2d in at once to take the change
1- pleasantly as possible. Now they
ave grown accustomed to reciting
% fore an occasional schoolma'am or
young college alumna, and appar-
lily they are more at ease than the
Dung women themselves.
The Yale men, even if they don't
Ike us around" said one of the girl
students of the graduate school, "are
TOO polite to show it, at any rate, and
in that they are one ahead of the Har.
ward students. They don't like us in
the class room up there, and they are
not so careful to hide their prefer
ences," she laughingly added.
The young women who come here
generally are interested only in their
work, and are not looking for any SO.
cial features incidental to college life
Thus one young woman who grad.
uated from Mount Holyoke college in
1906 and is taking work in economics
here is studying sociological problems
by living at a mission hall.
There she has an opportunity to
study practical problems in sociology.
She lives among the people whom She
is studying, and her daily round of
pleasure or work, when not on the
Yale campus, is among the foreigners
in that part of the city.
But although the Yale goods don't
mingle much socially with the Yale
undergraduates or the graduate stu
dents or young professors, they have
their own club. mo men allowed"
is the clubs motto. Some of the club
members do a good deal of their
studying and writing there, while 9th
crs only go there at rare intervals for
recreation.
In the last winter the goods have
held some social affairs away from
the club; generally at the boarding
houses where the young women live.
Occasionally the wife of young pro.
fessor has been invited to one of these
gatherings, but she was always
obliged to leave her husband at home,
for the motto of the club has been
strictly enforced at these gatherings.
The men students, on the contrary,
welcome their associates among the
young women at their classical,
mathematical and other clubs here,
and frequently the paper of the even
ing is read by one of the goods
These clubs are, however, societies for
research, and the members are inter.
ested more in the intellectual side
of the affair than the social.
Although Cupid can hardly be said
to do a land Office business among the
Yale goods, a romance is sometimes
the result of study here at the grad,
ute school. Last year two of the
members of the school surprised their
friends and even the instructors un,
der whom they had worked together
by sending out wedding announce
ment cards just about commencement
time when both were taking a degree
They are teaching together this year
in a school in Texas.
