Medical School, and up at Andover are Professors Day, Hlnks and Moore.
 Among the prominent divines are Rev. Morton Dexter, former editor of the Congregationalist, and Dr. A. E. Cunning and Rev. H A. Bridgman, the present editors of that important organ. Such clergymen IS Rev. sam uel Bushnell of Arlington and Rev Charles Carter of Lexington are among the many well-known Yale men about Boston. MT. (Dutch) Carter, by the way. holds the Yale pitching record, having pitched game in which only twenty-seven men were sent to the bat. Yale men do not forget these lit- tie things.
 General Henry R. Darlington, the soldier and publicist, is Yale man So also is Philip Hale. Boston com mercial life is adorned with such strong men as Alfred L. Ripley, vice president of the State Bank, and AL fred c. Walworth Mir. Ripley is the only Massachusetts member of the Yale Corporation. Alfred A Aiken the Worcester banker. is also to be men toned as factor in Boston's financial life. r. R. Jay, the Bank Commission CT. is Yalensian.

 The Boston Vale Alumni Associa- tion was organized in 1865. and it has always been very keen, zestful or ganization. owing. perhaps. in part at least. to the fact that Yale Is so far in the minority here. For Boston is. of course, first and always, Harvard town. The association exists for no other than it's ostensible purposes. which are to cultivate friendly social relations between the Yale men resi- dent here and to do what they might for the advancement of Yale interests. This is almost a distinctive trait. At least it differs from some other alum mi associations. It flies no mans kite, heels no mans boom, concocts no prop aganda, organize no campaigns. Then there is the Yale Club, a more infor- maj organization of younger Yale men, meeting monthly at the Univer- | sity Club, for the simplest of social ends. In fact, the Yale bond is a strong one just because it is not an artificially organized redomontade. Ii i is built on the substantial foundation of a genuine good feeling and does many things unintentially, one might alm0st say uconsciously.
 College gatherings have much ir common. They also have individual traits. It is not easy to put the finger on the Yale spirit. Most college mer love and are proud of their alma ma. ter.

YALE IN BOSTON
The Kind of Audience That Faces a Speaker at a Bos-

SAM ELDER HELD HIS OWN
An Attempt to Interpret the Yale Spirit as It Seems to One of

The annual meeting and dinner of the Yale Alumni Association of Bos- ton and vicinity Thursday evening at the Exchange club called marked at- tention to the strength of Yale in this city. A glance at those gathered about the tables would undoubtedly have surprised most Bostonians. Why, is he a Yale man?" they would have exclaimed dozen times. For the Yale influence here is of very quiet kind.
 Perhaps the first time that atten- ton was conspicuously called to Nale's hold on Massachusetts was in the brilliant reioinder of Hon. Samuel J.

INDIVIDUAL MEN
FOR OLYMPIC CREW,

NEW YORK, March 23.-James Pix
ington, president of the National Asso-
citation of Amateur Oarsrnen and men,
her of the committee which is to select
an American eight to row In the Olym-
pic regatta in England in July, told
yesterday of the plans for the selection
of an eight.
Julian Curtiss and l purpose to stick
to our original plan," said MI. Pilking-
ton. According to the rules of the
association We can pick twenty-seven
oarsmen who show up we'll in all or
many Of the regattas held before June
1. These men will contest against one
another until we have selected the
eight oarsmen and several substitutes.
We hope to have but little difficulty In
doing this, and will be ready to send
the crew away early in July.
There is no truth in the report that
We have no such plans. 1t has been
suggested that each city which fosters
rowing develop an eight of It's own and
then have these various crews compete
In a preliminary regatta against the
college winners at New London and
Poughkeepsie. For my part, ! am not
at all In favor of such a scheme. There
are many objections.
"By picking eight of the best oars
men in the country we will have no
trouble in boating them in time to get
plenty of practise together before they
go abroad"
