 A suggestion has been made that the class of 1907 erect a memorial to their classmate, George Borup, who, with $. Winship Case. lost his life by drowning two weeks ago in the sound at Millstone A number of ap- preciations of these two exceptionally gifted young men have been printed, among them the following in The News by An Old Yale Man;
 Save for the vastly greater number of deaths and the awful fact that they were seemingly due to the greed and parsimony of the steamship com pany, the sinking of the Titanic was no greater loss nor was it more tragic than the pitifully sad deaths of Borup and Case. And there is no reason to think that there were any two men on the Titanic whose lives were, or would have been. more valuable to the world than those of these two dear fellows
 '.Borup had already begun his life of usefulness as he was-to the world as an explorer, scientist, and writer; Case possessed the stuff which promised great things, and both pos sessed qualities, characteristics and a fine manhood which should be, and is a source of pride to every Yale man every American
 High stand in scholarship, they took honors. gladly bestowed, from Yale; and in return they honored the dear old university by their high stand in manhood. citizenship, friendship and in their clean and wholesome per sonal lives"

 Owen Johnson's (19o0) story, "Dink Slower at Yale," has been arousins both in college and outside. a heated discussion of Yale conditions and az to whether the book truly portrays them. The comments collected from the members of Johnsons class, the News finds that of 56 answers, F could give no opinions, net having read the book, while s1 state that a true impression of Yale Is given to the reader, while 19 others deny this and four are undecided. Twenty eight men believe that the criticism et the social system Is just
 While the graduates of ten years standing think thus, 1t is interesting to note the opinions of the class o1 1912 on the same subject. Eighty-siS per cent. believe that the impression given is utterly false of Yale today while nine per cent. believe it true and four per cent are doubtful. Fifty. seven per cent. of the seniers regarded the criticism of the social system as unjust, and thirty two per cent. sided with MT. Johnson.
 The main trend of opinion was tha the publishing of the story was a baC thing for Yale. yet one-third of tn, class of 1912 see an influence for goo( in the book, at least within the col lege, if not outside.
 On the whole. 1t is found that condi tions have changed for the better II the last decade, that Yale's social sys tenn has undergone a great improve ment since 1900, and that the empha sis placed by the writer on social Tiff and the indifference toward curriculum work, is branded as untrue to Yale If
 by many members of both the classe
 of 1900 and 1912.
