GIVES BOYS DINNER
Walter E. Malley Tenders Feast to Yale Hall Youngsters
 on Campus.
ALEC BERNSTEIN ORATOR
Speaks at Dwight Hall, Amid Thur ders of Applause, to Enthusi-
 astic Banqueters.

Old Yale, three thousand strong, with bag and baggage, in hack and carriage, rolled forth from the campus down Meadow street to the station and away to every corner of the country yester- day to spend the holidays with the old folks at home. But it was not many hours after the last rumble of the pre- historic public conveyances that car ried the students died away that new Yale, younger Yale, appeared on the campus. There were full two hundred of these new adherents of the blue and as they floated into the campus at every possibia entrance to it, shortly after o'clock, Campus Officer Wiser pricked up his ears and bethought him that perhaps he might make some ar rests of suspicious characters and share in the late-gotten fame of his brother officer, Jim Donnelly.
 The new Yale was of younger gen. eration, but that fact but followed out the general tendency, marked of late, with the entering classes. They came from the Yale hall on Franklin street. and they gathered in front of Dwight hall, within which sacred precincts was to be served to them the greatest of feasts and to be addressed to them the most eloquent of addresses. And who was to be the speaker of the occasion None other than the silver-tongued Alec Bernstein, a member of the club.
 Alec, by the way, is only knee high to a grasshopper," but that mattered little, for there is an old saying that good things come in small packages, and the "Yaleses" from Franklin street understood the full purport of that remark from past experiences with this same Alec
 At Yale Hall the boys are divided up into clubs and each club has it's representatives in a senate which rpns things generally. Rumor has it that Alec is the leader of the greatest lobby that this august body has ever had.
 The festivities last evening opened with an entertainment given in the big room upstairs in Dwight Hall, but that was not to hold candle to what was to come, It was given by some \ grown-ups and everybody knows that the boys themselves can far surpa ss all corners. Incidentally the boys part of the program came after a sunptu- ous feed, when everybody felt much happier, even though the rules of Dwight Hall and the adolescence ot the diners prevented anything strong CT to drink than aqua highballs and aicht-two-oh cocktails.
 The socalled banquet was not served by Maresi or Martin. but it was all tc the mustard for listen here it Is: Gel. cry, soup, turkey potatoes, peas, han, BNsandwiches, bread and butter, apples and mince pies, chocolate ice cream \ Gas many plates as each could smugglt away, candies, fruits, cocoa and tooth N picks, It was given by Walter E N Malley of the Edw. Malley Co.,, ant N Mir Malley was roundly cheered no | once but many times for hIs generos. N ity
 X The speech of the evening (with thu accent on theS"the'O was as has beer said, by Alec Bernstein. He was not b, any means the only nor the first ol the speakers but his three feet sil inches of eloquence so far swept all be l fore him in the forensic field that tht &Fothers can well be passed over in sI " Hence.
 % When he was introduced by tht toastmaster MT. Bernstein walked witt Y dignity to the front of the banquet hal " (for, in his modesty, he had refused tc sit at the head table, but had instead Expressed his wish to "sit with the & boys" he loved them so) and. spoke in Y this wise:
