I their forty-fv men without many
 choices outside. It does not seem. l then, at present that any conspicu- l ously deserving man will be over | looked, for the list as it stands is a | very satisfactory one and 1t will be | hard for the societies to find worthier
 men than are on 1t.
 l There has arisen much discussion of
 the way the University is taking care l of the collections of very great value l that 1t has in its possession. In the
 Art School halls there is the Jarves | collection of early Italian paintings some of them the works of notable I masters, which Professor Siren,
 Swedish art connoiseur who has re- | gently been featuring here, has judged | to be worth more than a million dol- | lars. And he pointed out, while here, | that something should be done to guard them against loss by fire and other dangers in the old art school | building. There are also. of course, the famous Trumbull pictures, grown familiar in American histories, of the Battle of Bunker Hill, the surrender l of Cornwallis. and others. Then the treatment of the great mass Of scientific material that Pea
 body museum holds has giren rise to
 comment and the need of a great new public museum has been brought to attention. The securing of funds be-
 comes consequently a necessity if
 homes are to be provided in which
 these great Yale collections can be
 shown and used and developed as they
 might be. The situation indicates a
 side in which Yale has a remarkable
 opportunity for future expansion.
 It can't be said that the Vale base
 ball team is starting off the season the
 way the undergraduates would like to see it. And it seems hard to see why
 the nine shouldn't begin to get into stride pretty soon. The men have had the advantage of winter work in the baseball cage, of a southern trip that wasn't much of a success, in point of games won, and of half dozen games in the intercollegiate series. It was a good game at Brown last Saturday and score of 3 to ? under the cir cumstances is not dfscouraging. But at the Field Wednesday afternoon, | Georgetown's swatting of Brown and l then Gile brought pessimism for l time The score of 10 to 1 was not agreeable. and it was not frightened a l whole lot by the knowledge that liar l ward and Princeton had also suc- cumbed to the Washington players.
 Still Yale has undoubtedly the nu- cleus for strong team. It has both | Gile and Brown of last years pitch l ing staff, and Hunter at catch is a veteran. His throwing has been weak this year. The first base problem is not altogether solved, but the rest of l the infield and outfield is filled by the l veterans of last year. When the team | gets to batting, which it has not done yet, the results will be more satisfac- tory. Trinity college comes down from | Hartford Friday afternoon and the | University of Virginia is at the Field l Saturday.
 A play written by undergraduates is | to be given on the Campus as the | commencement production of the Yale | Dramatic association in June. It is | entitled Gueutia Durward and is | rather an original play built up around | Scotts novel. The authors are c. A. | Merz and Frank W. Futile of the | Junior class and their joint product l is the first undergraduate play that 1 The cast will number a hundred or | moro, and with its romantic setting, | knights in armor court ladies, duels, | hunting scenes, the commencement | play will provide splendidly the TO- | mantle atmosphere that is so effective | under the elms of the old campus on | a night in June. |
 The Vale Dramatic association has | had for one of it's aims, the encourag- ing of Yale playwrights and the pro- duction of Yale plays. With increas- ing success each year it has brought out works of -dramatists of all schools, at no time more conspicuously than with it's three one act plays of last Christmas. Tn bringing out a purely Yale play now. it is going a step far ther and offering an outlet for the work that is being done in a new and growing course in the University, that of The Drama and Playwriting, con- ducted by John R. Crawford, whose
 own play Robin of Sherwood. was
 given at commencement two years
 ago.
 The annual spring intercIass track
 meet will be held at the Field on Saturday and with about 200 candi-
