e. r. Embree, secretary Of the bu-
reau of appointments, reported last
week that of the hundred and more
men who are working their way
through Yale, only a very small per-
centage were forced to remain idle
during the past vacation. One hundred
and thirty five men applied for Christ
mas work this year. OF this number
1e2 were referred to one or more
places; the men who were not assist
ed to any positions were for the most
part men who wanted some special
kind Of work. Seventy -four are
known to have obtained work for hol-
idays, and reports have not yet been
made by many others. Twenty men
were employed on one day by the
Adams Express Company to help on
the rush of work brought on by the
holiday rush and the congestion caused
other block of twenty men were en-
ployed by a single large department
store. Ten men were placed in other
stores. This year the bureau began to
extend its search for vacation work to
places outside New Haven. Openings
were found in the large New York
stores to which some twenty men were
sent. The vacation earnings of stu
dents who obtained work directly
through the bureau of appointments
will probably be between 5000 and
$1,000. The above statements, how
ever cover only students who received
this work directly through the bureau.
Many other men obtained work by
their own efforts. Probably 200 Yale
students altogether worked during the
past holidays season in New Haven,
New York and other cities.
The University Dramatic Assoeia-

Christmas trip. Oscar Wilde's An
Ideal Husband" was enthusiastically
received in eleven cities. Entertain
ments were given in honor of the club
and a cordial welcome was extended
them at every stop. The black and
white stage settings and costumes
proved to be one of the best features
of the performance. A great deal of
credit is due e. NJ. Wooley, 1911 for
his Interpretation of the play and
training of the actors. The costumes
designed by Miss Grace Clark, and ex-
ecuted by the New Haven Costuming
Company, were very effective. IAN
Ideal Husband is a clever satire and
very well adapted to the members of
the Dramatic Association as was
shown by the way in which they act
ed it. The entire cast was good and
made a most favorable impression.

IL was with deep regret that the
members of the University learned OF
the recent death of George Lauder,
1900 s., at his home in Greenwich,
Conn. Although never q member OF
the crew, Mr.. Lauder has for several
years taken the deepest interest in
rowing affairs, both in his personal
interest in the men and in his large
gifts towards any crew project that
was presented to him. The yearly trip
In his yacht Endynion, which the crew
had the Sunday before the Harvard
race, has been the most pleasant sin
gle event at Gales Ferry training sea-
son and no member of the crew who
knew George Lauder as host will ever
forget his enthusiasm, interest and
whole-hearted support of everything
connected with Yale Rowing. Mr.
