Book Review

MEMORIALS OF EMINENT YALE MEN
In two volumes BY Anson Phelps Stokes.
Secretary OF the Yale University. Pub
iished by the Yale University Press. of
New Haven
In the small space allotted to one re-
view it is impossible to do full justice
to the work which has been compiled
by Arson Phelps Stokes. since in the
"Mernorials of Eminent Yale Men are
included names which have made the
history of the United States.
Aside from any sentimental value this
work would have in the eyes of all Yale
men and those interested in this uni
yersity, the bird's-eye view given the
casual reader, of the school life of one
of our greatest universities from the
Revolution down to the present day. is
indeed a valuable asset to any person
who wishes to be we'll informed.
All great men are after all human
beings, and the snatches of boyhOo,l that
CLEAN. from the pages OF these memoir
ials are no different from The annals of
our own school days. Even the young
man In disgrace, can get many grain
OF comfort from these biographies:
Edmund Clarence Stedman, literary
critic and poet. like James FeniInore
Cooper was dismissed from Yale. and
his appeal to the president of the col
Iege fUr his degree, is extremely human
and touching.
Noah Webster. Samuel F. B. Morse,
and David Bushnell, the father OF sub
marine warfare. were Yale men. 1t was
on Yale campus and probably in Bush
nelIs room that the torpedo was invent
ed. The volumes name seventy nine
men Of large influence. whose biogra-
phies are given, with supplementary
list of the same number whose careers
are only slightly less significant.
