Special Correspondence of The Star
NEW HAVEN. Conn, February 0.-The
| Washington men always form a distin-
| guished group at Yale. Socially. athletically.
| enthusiastically they have year after year been
| largely represented among the leaders of
| undergraduate life. They have been among
| the men who have put virility into Yale
| life and made possible her successes. The
| representation at Yale from other cities
| as for instance from Baltimore, Pittsburg,
Hartford and Denver-has been long and
! honorable, but the Yale groups from these
| cities have scarcely equaled in quality and
attainment the record of the Washington
| men at Yale.
Probably 10 similar body of twenty-five
young men come from families more dis
tinguished in American history than do
those who form the Washington Club at
Yale. S:ions of generals, admirals. senators
and representatives, they have family
| inheritance which carries them to we'll
| deserved social prominence. Their innate
ability and training have enabled them to
| excel in other lines Of activity at the uni
Yersity.
Despite their various college affiliations,
which from their great diversity tend to
| separate the Washington clan, the Wash
| ington men remain very loyal to their home
| city. They manifest their civic loyalty IN
| a very tangible way by the maintenance OF
| the Washington Club. Although handi-
| capped by the slim membership of twenty
| five this home city club is more energetic
and successful than similar Yale locality
| clubs which have larger rosters. At vaca-
| ton times the club engages special car
| for the trip home to Washington. To the
| annual banquet scheduled for next month
| distinguished Washingtonian will be IN
vited The presidency of the club for the
current year is held by Melville B. Cur
| ley, '06
