convict costumes, marched In the regu-
lation lockstep, while thesuaves of 1900

Good Old Yale, Drink Her Down." sung
] by the class.
Following the opening song James
Harold Wallis of Dubuque, Ia, the

James Perrin. Mr.. Perrin, the son of
Prof. Bernedotte Perrin, and the 1901
| business manager of the Yale Daily
News. took as his subject Privilege
and Responsibility. He said that so
lciety had very strict requirements. but
four years allowed them at Yale, in
which to prepare for life. This one aim
of college life is not clearly seen by the
freshmen, but by senior year this pur-
pose is apparent to each one. This he
| characterized as a privilege awarded tt
Yala Students a responsibility to so.

COSTUMES OF YALE GRADS"

There was an unprecedented gather
ing Of Sing Sing conyicts, oriental gem
tlemen of leisure satid dominies in
white frock cats and other characters
in fancy dress on the Yale campus,
when the festivities of commencement
week began yesterday. 1t is oneof the
banner years for the display of pic
turesque and absurd costumes by Yale
alumni.
The Yale men back for their triennial
are taking the lead in celebrating, and
their uniforms surprise the State Of
Blue Laws even more than the bare
legged kilties did last year. The 1903
academic mon descended on the town
100 or more strong.
The costumes are reproductions Of
those worn at Sing Sing, and the bare
| ankles Of the graduates are encircled
| with ball and chain. On their wrists
are handouts.
! The Sheffield 1900 alumni are much
more sedate in Japanese dress. The cos
tune which they wear may be describ-
ed as a cross between kimono and a
| Turkish bathrobe. 1t is of white with
Yale blue sashes, and an inverted bread
tray of straw with G green lining, as
one Yale man expressed it, is the head
covering.
The members of the class back for
their enth anniversary are making an
attempt to hold up the dignity Of old
Yale by appearing in white frock coats
with white hats.

the faculty were to be congratulated or

good work of the class, he said he had
| intended to look over the records of pre-
ceding classes to see if any class had
list, but had put it off to vacation, as
he was afraid it would take some time
| before he should find such a one. Con.
tinuing, he said the year, as a whole
had been one of good order, quiet ant
good work, and that this was in large
measure due to the influence of thu
class of 1906, which had always beer
exerted in behalf OF order. In closing
he wished every one Of the class, az

to feel more and more that they were
Yale men, representing the colleg'

at the moment realize. Some of you, a good
many or you, are sons of men who fought in
the Civil War. When your fathers were IN the

that the blanket was too heavy by noon and not
quite heavy enough by night. that the pork

which the regiments were led. Those were the
things they talked about good deal of the
time. But when the done-When they
came home, when they looked at what had been
accomplished. all those things sank into insg

had played their parts like among men,
that they had borne themselves so that when
people asked what they had done Of worth in
those great years. all they had to say was that
