ATHLETIC CURB Is
URGED FOR YALE
President Hadley Advocates
Increase in Graduate
Supervision.
AUTOS COLLEGE PROBLEM

New HAVEN. Conn. tune 22.-Presi-
dent Hadley told Yale alumni at the
general alumni meeting this morning in
Batteil Chapel that In his opinion unless
Yale undertook faculty responsibility for
athletics the amount Of graduate con-
troll would have to be further increased
In the immediate future.
The union Of Yale athletic interests
II now managed BY a committee OF
h%fteen.' he said. consisting OF the cap
tain and manager OF each OF the four
major sports-eight undergraduate mem
hers In all-and seven graduate members.
MY personal impression Is that unless
We are to follow the xanple of other I
institutions and have faculty RESPONSE
bility for athletics-which I should much
deplore-the amount of graduate control
will have to be still further increased
In the immediate future.
But / am unwilling to close with
what might seem like a word of criti-
cism of the present day undergraduate.
The present day undergraduate Is a
higher development OF civilization than
his father or his older brother. He has
some problems and difficulties to contend
with which his father and brothers did
not have. Unnecessarily large money
allowances are more numerous to-day
than they were twenty-five years ago.
Automobiles offer problems in college
administration OF the present generation
which did not exist In the past. Yet In
spite OF all these things there Is to-day
more intellectual life in the place than
at any period I have known-more seri-
Gus study inside OF the college course
and outside OF 1t.
Every dollar over $1,000 a year in
creases the difficulty OF an undergraduate
leading an Intellectual life. and every
dollar over $1,000 becomes a positive
peril to his moral and intellectual life.
unless he Is 80 VIGOROUSLY rich hat he
Is constantly called upon for large sub
scriptions. and even then these gifts had
better come from the young mans
father"
Reading Term Arranged.
'The one step which we have thus far
actually taken In this direction 10 the
establishment OF a reading term like
that which prevails at Cambridge, Eng
land, for the month prior to the regu-
lar college term IN the fall. Nobody Ii
required to be In attendance during this
term. There will be no lectures and no
chapel to interfere with the continuity
OF this work.
ION the question OF chapel attendance
I believe that we have n large enough
element which IL seriously interested
In religion and In good preaching to
organise a university church without
required attendance. n that some way
OF keeping the students from spending
Sunday in New York can be devised
which will interfere less with the cause
Of true religion than compulsory at
tendance on chapel service has done
In the past"
Oldest Alumnus So.
Thousands Of Yale men came to town
to-day to join those already here In
celebrating alumni day. The Oldest re-
union class here in numbers was the
class Of 1855. with Henry L. stimson of
New York. member OF ex-President
Taft's Cabinet. as speaker and leader.
The class OF '55 was represented by one
member. Giles Potter Of this city. who Is
Sc years old.
One Of the events OF the day was the
appearance at the alumni meeting Of ex-
President Timothy L. Dwight. His en-
trance was the signal for a rousing
cheer and the audience remained stand
Ing until he took his place on the plat
form. He IL 81 years old.
The biggest feature OF the day was
the parade through the streets OF the
town to Yale Field on the part OF the
thousands of alumni in fancy garb. A
placard carried by 1909. Sheffield. at
tracted a good deal Of comment along the
line OF march. 1t read. God gave us
life. education and Yale. but who's to
