\COntl1utu Tlst o6Sst to a different conclusion, for there is one man for whom Yale men believe there Is nothing too good That man Is Big Bill of the class of 'Is.'
 There were cheers for Bob Cook of rowing fame and for AL Cowlcs, who was captain of the 's7 crew and who responded with the song which he has sung time and again but which never loses It's hold on Yale men: Swing, Swing, Together" song of the crews and their rowing.
 Another cheer which was joined in heartily by the older graduates was for George Ade, 6S, the father of Yale rowing. The Glee club members then sang encore after encore of the new Yale prize song written by Seth Bingham, the organlst of St. Paul's church in this city: Mother of Men -Old Yale. Ie was the first time it had been heard by many present and 1t made an immediate hit and was sung eXcellently. Then the songs swung back to the more popular Ara wana," which, as somebody said Is a second cousin or something of the sort to Pop Warner.
 Called on by the toastmaster who was Col. Norris G. osborn 80, who went on the program under the some- what mysterious cognomen of 'ln- llator," the members of the class of or present arose on the spur of the moment and sung "Eveline" in credit able style.
 As was to be expected the speeches were of very informal kind. Julian w. Curtiss spoke for the crew. He said the baseball game yesterday might be spoken of as the triumph of the Ellis over the allies. As for to- morrow's race, he said that if there wns a Yale man who was not going to witness 1t he would be missing the race of his life. Harvard has the greatest crew she ever had" he said. ''yes the best ever. But there Is a difference between the crews of my time and of now, you will notice. Twenty-three years ago and less. if a member of the Harvard crow squad had been found in the library, he would have been presented with a Phi Beta Kappa key by the faculty. To-day witness what difference. (Ap- plause.) And SO I point to President Eliots action as marking great change in the history of rowing
 You may depend upon 1t that the Yale crew will do It's duty manfully. It will be a hard race I don't care to prophecy In tho presence of our toastmaster for fear he will make fun of 1t, but will advise you all to be there and see the race of your life Then if you don't get the worth of your money. draw upon our toast master for it."
 Col. Osborn said that In all serious ness. back of the courtesies that had been exchangcs-the Julian Curtisses there was deeper meaning to the 1492 dinners, They had an element to them that none of the class din. ners had, in that they were solely Yale dinners without any interclass rival. res
 We all know" he said. that tn, next president may be Yale man say that not for applause but to remint you of the fact that Yale has produce, A man worthy of being presidentia nominee. IL Is a great distinction fo the university He is doing his univer sity honor; we are honorlng him fo what he has done for Yale.''
