hail. the gathering comprising those
whose classes do not regularly take
part in reunions this year. and which
is known as the Class of 1892.
The alumni meeting was presided
over by Hart Lyman, Glass of '73, and
editor of the New York Tribune, who
is back with his class for their 35th
reunion. Mr.. Lyman after extending a
welcome to the representatives of the
many classes. said:
"a man whom it will soon be ex-
tremely indecorous to address as BILL
a man in short. whom we look upon as
the next President of the country, is
an indication of the kind of graduates
Yale gives to the country. Perhaps the
university is not turning out better
graduates now than 80 years ago. but
at least she is turning out more of
them"
Tha entire audience rose and ap-
plauded Mr.. Lyman's reference to Mr..
Taft. The secretary had not arrived
at that time. Mr. Lyman introduced
President Arthur T. Hadley Of the
university, who made his annual re-
port to the alumni.
