 The voting of the senior class on their preferences in regard to poems novels, poets, and novelists had shown
 the literary tastes of 1916 to be sim liar to those Of preceding classes
 Crossing the Bar,' the favorite poem
 of Yale seniors since time immemor- ial, is again the choice this year, and \ Gray's sElegy' is again the second
 choice. Tennyson, Browning and
 ShakeSpeare are inevitably the faV-
 orite poets. Shakespeare received g
 smaller vote this year than ever be- fore, being the cE1oice of only thirty
 men. Tn previous years he has beer | selected by forty or fifty. This years
 class chose Dickens as the favorite
 prose writer, while last year Steven
 son headed the list. Lorna Doone is
 as usual the favorite novel. Ivanhoe 1 and the Tale of Two Cities are tied
 for second place. The choices of the l class are neither radical nOr original variety of opinion than any previous
 class. The opinions were about the l average, the poets and writers were of recognized standing, and no new departure was made in any field. but l the greater number of different names
 both authors and works is unusual
 The literature of the nineteenth cen T tEry is more popular than that of the } twentieth. The writings of Kipling and Service receive attention, but the remains unnoticed- Lincoln is, as rus
 ual, the favorite historical character Napoleon and Washington follow, al , they have for the last three years. I is perhaps hard to understand why the i father of his country receives only ont more vote than Alexander the sixth The kaiser received five votes, twC less than Washington.

 with the detail of ambu1anceS whicl ! the students of the University sent tt France last year. In one of his let
 ters he said: ''It certainly gave me lot of satisfaction to hear that ten O
 twenty Yale men were thinking O
 volunteering for work out here, and would like to state emphatically thaJ . don't think anyone has ever regret t ted coming over after he G1as made tn
 first start.'' In regard to the equip
