Personal "Reminiscences of William Graham Sumner
 Published By Yale Press
Many Interesting Anecdotes From the Career of Science Professors Career Told By A. C. Keller

New Haven, Conn. Sept 22-Yalt had eliminated Greek as required subject and some of her facult, i were amazed. William Graham Sumner mentioned it to a col. league, saying: "Well, we have put Greek on the top shelf along with Hebrew" and when his colleague said T can't believe it." Professor Sumner replied:
 'sNo, I don't wonder. But it's SO all the sanne:. the incredible some. times happens. Greek won't be q required subject any more. Aftei awhile we'll get philosophy uf there too. No subject ought to be required as better and nooler than all the rest"
 The tale Is told by A. c. Keller , William Graham Sumner professor of the Science of Society in Yale university, who has written a vol. tune of personal "reminiscences ot Sumner, which has been issued by the Yale University Press, on the foundation established in memory of Philip Hamilton McMiltan, ol the class of 1894.
 Mingling "reminiscences and com. ment on the famous Sumner, Pro- lessor Keller throws light on the present status of his subject, point ing out that Summers writings are still timely. MT Dwight Morrow stated about ten years ago, that he had recently been asked what was the best thing on ship subsidies Summers little article, Shall Americans own ships7" written in 1SS1.'"
 "scarcely Q major issue of the present remains untreated in his writings," Professor Keller de- clares. "War, arbitration, govern mental extravagances, imitation, the tariff, wages, trades-unlons, the status of women, modern marriage, education; and whatever he touch- es he Eliminates"
 Of the Darwinian influence in Summers life, Professor Keller says: Tt happened shat February 13, 1909, fell upon the day of the week when the Anthropology club regularly met. As I went down with Sumner l spoke of this being Darwin's and also Lincoln's cen- tenary, and he marveled at the fact that they were twins In intro- ducing the speaker that night, he made reference to Darwin and called upon us to honor him, for we must all remember what Mir Darwin has done for us.'
 Summers way of looking into the future is told by Professor Keller: 'when I was connecting Summers unpublished manuscripts, of which there were good many that had been laid aside and were yellowcd with age, came upon on. envelope labelled Cooperative Common wealth. In 1t were Q number of slips containing items supposed to have been culled from Q socialistic newspaper of July {, 1850. I printed a number of them in Tho Forgotten Man and Other Essays against the advice of certain friends who said they were a mere bur-
 In view of what has happened since in Russia. they were some- thing other than that.3
 Late in Summers career, accord ing to Professor Keller, he said:
 T have lived through the best period of this country's history. The next generations are going to see war and social calamities. I am glad I don't have to live on into them"
