YALE IN CHINA PROGRESSING.

ANNUAL REPORT SHOWS CO-
OPERATION OF CHINESE WITH
VARIOUS MOVEMENTS.

Medical Department Decided Success—
Training School for Nurses Under
Way—Athletic Training of Students
Looked After Carefully.

The annual report of the College of Yale in China, published at New Haven early in October, is an account of excellent progress being made in this well-established effort to inaugurate *higher education of the best Christian type in Central China. This report is drawn up under two heads to describe the work of the two departments, College and Medical. The College has a history of eight years of teaching behind it, and during this time it has won itself a place of great esteem among the gentry of the provinces, who are quick to appreciate effective work. It has grown steadily, till now there are enrolled a hundred and forty sutdents, under seven American instructors and as many more Chinese teachers. The Medical Department has maintained a hospital, the first to be established in the city of Changsha, and it has won the favor of the people of the city as no other means could have done.

The success of the hospital has led to a unique attempt by the gentry and Government of Hunan Province at co-operation with the Yale doctors in founding a medical school. The Chinese have agreed to furnish certain funds annually and to erect a school building, provided the Yale Hospital will furnish the teaching and nursing force. This plan originated with the Chinese, and shows markedly the relations with the natives that have been developed by this mission college and hospital. A further evidence of this good feeling is shown by the Government's asking the Yale doctors to undertake service on various public commissions, and by the supplying of workers in the hospital by a Chinese Women's Social Service League. As a result of the co-operative agreement for a medical school, there were opened by the Yale doctors last Fall two training schools for nurses, one for men and one for women. In connection with these schools, in which the standards of work were entirely strange to the students in attendance, there arose some amusing problems in discipline, the students presenting petitions to have night work stopped, as it "tired their bodies unnecessarily!"

The College Department is just emerging from the preparatory school stage through which most young mission colleges have at first to pass. As the work of college grade is undertaken, special attention is being given to two lines of teaching: one to supply students really adequately trained to take up the highest grade of medical school work; the other, to prepare men for teaching. In the past, Chinese students have been too poorly grounded in science to do the grade of work required in Western medical schools. The Yale College is developing its Biology, Chemistry, and Physics with the intention of giving entirely sufficient preparation for the best mediial schools.

The other line of special effort, to prepare men for the teaching profession, is obviously needed in a country of such low educational standards as China still is. The "Yali" graduates are to be leaders in China's future educational development. As need may arise for the special training of ministers, the College stands ready to offer electives in Greek and Hebrew.

This year for the first time, all students have had complete medical and physical examinations. The results show the boys to be less developed than Americans of similar age, and that there is a large percentage of them having digestive and respiratory troubles. It is a noteworthy fact that the physical weaknesses shown by this examination are nearly all such as will be readily removed by a thorough course of the proper athletic training. The students are mostly boys to whom athletics are unknown when they enter college; but they are showing themselves very willing to take up training of various sorts, and they have already won more than their share

of prizes in games with other school teams.

For this athletic training, and also for a certain amount of musical training, the College has been most fortunate in having the services of Yale men just graduated at New Haven, and who go out on one-year appointments. These young teachers have been able to get upon closer terms with Chinese students, and to give them a more intimate touch with Western ideals and ways of thought, than the older instructors have been apt to do. The College is to be congratulated on having four men go out this past Summer from the graduating class at New Haven, to render this one-year service.

The report closes with the budget for 1914-1915. The total sum called for from American sources is $24,528, a moderate sum for supporting a college of a hundred and forty boys and a hospital of forty beds.

tions as Consul-General were diplomatic
rather than consular. He is thoroughly
acquainted with the problems of the new
China and is therefore exceptionally well
fitted to take charge of the work that is
being done here for 'Ya-li.'

"Among other American graduates of Yale who have served or are serving in China may be mentioned: Horace Tracy Pitkin, '92, missionary and martyr for his faith (1900); Dr. Francis J. Hall, '99, who gave his life for his Chinese patients during the typhus epidemic in Peking in 1913; Dr. James E. Neil, '77, President of the Tsinanfu Medical College, Tsinanfu, Shangtung; William C. Sprague, '86, one of the leading men in the China service of the Standard Oil Company; Rev. Mr. E. E. Aikin, '81, member of the committee which is making the new translation of the Bible into Chinese; Rev. Mr. Lyman P. Peet, '85, President of Fuchow College; Rev. Mr. George Hubbard, missionary at Fuchow; Edward E. Moran, 1904 S., official in the Chinese Maritime Customs Service; Lt.

"The above list is by no means complete but it shows what a great variety of work is being done by the Yale men in China. The spirit of Yale, which is the spirit of service, makes itself felt even to the ends of the earth."

Paul S. Achilles, 1913, Late Returned
From Teaching in China, Writes In-
teresting Anecdotes—Chinese Polite
and Seldom Expose Their Feelings.

A letter from Paul S. Achilles, 1913, who has been teaching at Yale-in-China, is of such interest as to be printed in full below:

"As I faced my first class of white and blue gowned students at Yale-in-China and mispronounced the many T'sen's, Hsi's, Shu's and Wong's or Hwang's with different surnams in the roll-call, I wondered what they thought of me and how far I could ever get to know them. They were polite, rising when I entered the room and waiting till I bowed to be seated, and they tried not to smile too broadly at my efforts to say their names. As it was equally hard for me to understand anything they tried to say in English, I did most of the talking, and they seemed attentive, but I found afterwards that they listened out of courtesy and understood little or nothing. I talked too fast.

"It was quite characteristic of their attitude all the year in the class-room which was never to admit that they did not understand a point. I once asked one of the younger boys to close his book and explain a paragraph he had just read. He recited the whole passage from memory word for word without a mistake, a perfect answer according to time-honored Chinese methods of education; but he had no idea of the meaning. To say point-blank, 'I do not know,' seems to imply so much 'loss of face' that, rather than do it, a student will stand gazing blankly at the teacher as long as the latter's patience can stand it. But this slowness in recitations and failure to think independently or grasp the point, is made up for by their conscientious industry and 'diminishes as they progress to the upper classes. It would be hard to explain to them the American student's opinion of the 'greasy grind,' and our rules to prevent athletics from interfering with study.

"Of the few sports for which there is at present any facility, their favorite is soccer football, and many of them play it well. But here again they dread

'losing face.' It was at first difficult to get anyone to go into a game as a substitute, for it was 'loss of face' for the man taken out. Often a crowd from the street watched them playing on our small 'back lot,' and would laugh loudly when a player fell down, much to his discomfiture. With true Chinese veneration for custom and the past, they shrink from trying anything unusual, especially if it may make them undignified or give others a chance to laugh. Many try to play football or high jump with their long gowns on, holding them up like skirts. One student, when asked why he did not play, said, 'My body is very feeble,' and as a rule it takes a good deal

of coaxing at first to get them to try anything. They prefer to stand and clap one performer, who does not object to showing off if he can do the feat at hand at all well. This attitude is changing rapidly, however, and interest is growing in all athletics.

"The difficulty of the language is a great barrier in getting to know the students well personally, but the making of pleasant friendships is possible in English, and warm regard spring up often without much exchange of words. In spite of vast differences in training and point of view they are very much like ourselves. They have similar difficulties as well as jokes and banter like our own. One evening we heard them in the courtyard imitating the ways in which different foreign members of the faculty conducted chapel, and it was enlightening, for Chinese politeness is such a thick veneer that it is hard to tell the amount of sincerity beneath it or ever tell a man's real opinion of you. At the close of the year, the teacher who happens to be returning to America, is often surprised and touched to receive a present from some student whom he feels he has not reached at all, or to be asked to a feast given for him by several students together, or to have his picture taken with another group as a keepsake. Even back in America, an occasional letter, like the following, may bring him the pleasure of being remembered:

"'My dear Mr. __________: I think it is the time that you are just arrived your country. Are well in journey?

"I am very sorry that I did not know where is the residence of Mr. M— and

Mr. G—, if you answer me, pleasure
tell me.

"At last term I have all past over, so I am very happy. My English is too poor, don't laugh at me.

"If you have a spare time, will you please answer me as quick as you can.

"Your loving pupil, W. T. K—."

# YA-LI APPOINTMENTS.

## AMOS P. WILDER, '84, MAKES ANOUNCEMENT AS TO VARIOUS APPOINTMENTS FOR YEAR.

### Paul S. Achilles, 1913, Describes Work and Life at Changsha—Need of Gymnasium Felt — Status of Athletics—Know Sound of Brek-ek-ex?

Each year since the founding of Ya-li at Changsha, China, it has been the custom for several Yale men to volunteer to take up the work out there which has been so successfully begun.

Amos P. Wilder, '84, Vice-President of the Yale-in-China organization, has made the following statement concerning appointments for this year to both the college and the medical department of Ya-li.

"Each year the staff of workers at Changsha, China, where Yale men conduct a college and medical activities, is recruited with new workers and already a number of appointments have been definitely made.

"Several Seniors are considering the proposition but no definite decision has as yet been made by them.

"On July 3 will sail Mrs. Richard M. Morton, a Johns Hopkins educated nurse, who will succeed Mrs. Farnsworth, who is returning after two years' service.

"Doctor Augusta A. Sassen is the first woman physician to join the staff and she will sail on August 28. Dr. Sassen is a graduate of Pomona College, California, and took a thorough medical course in New York City. She was born in Germany, but came to the United States as an infant. Her professional and personal recommendations are of the highest.

"There is a large field of work in Changsha, especially among native women and children and Doctor Sassen like Mrs. Morton, goes out under permanent appointment.

"It is believed that these two notable women will do work in China that shall reflect the highest credit on the institution to which they have allied themselves.

"Dickson H. Leavens, Yale 1909, has completed his preparation and returns to Changsha at the head of the Mathematics department. Mr. Leavens has been studying at Columbia during the past year.

"As I said, there is a consideration of others with reference to service at Ya-li beginning this Fall, but no further announcements can be made at present."

An idea of the life which Seniors who go out to Ya-li lead will be had from the following statement by Paul S. Achilles, Yale 1913, who recently went to Changsha. The statement by Mr. Achilles follows:—

"The stray bits of information about Yale-in-China gathered during undergraduate days in New Haven formed but a hazy notion of the reality. The feeling upon actual arrival in Changsha was akin to that of seeing an examination paper after neglecting preparation; but this first distraction was due rather to the astonishing hub-bub of the dirty, crowded streets than the appearance of the school itself. The class-rooms with their desks and blackboards, and the book-room like

a small Co-op, all had a reassuring, familiar look in spite of the fanciful Chinese roofs and window frames, small intervening courtyards and narrow connecting passage-ways. The cordiality of both the American and Chinese members of the faculty, the absorbing interest of the surroundings, and the pleasure of tangible work to be begun at once made the first days unexpectedly easy and pleasant.

"The students, arriving in their long outer garments of light blue cotton and each with his entire belongings in a two-foot square box, were interesting, not in the abstract, as when looking at a group picture in some book about China, but as actual pupils and hoped-for friends. Many, to be sure, looked unkempt and stupid, but those in higher classes were characterized by a pleasing, bright manner that evidenced the effect of a few years in school. Getting to know them, outside of the class-room, was not easy, but beginnings came through Sunday afternoon walks in the country, athletics, and the forming of a choir and glee club.

"A small front courtyard of the school and a vacant lot across the street are the present athletic facilities for over a hundred students, but in spite of this, about forty per cent. of them take part in the few sports that are possible. Physical and medical examinations now being taken, as well as frequent illness among the students, show the need of a gymnasium, for even on the new property outside the city exercise will often be prohibited by the long rainy season in this climate. One student wanted to be excused from mathematics, because, as he said, 'it made him a sickness in the head'; and many others complain of ailments that are obviously not due to the difficulty of their lessons. To promote exercise, some crude gymnastic apparatus was fitted up in the present school courtyard and the most daring of the students now try tricks on the rings and bars while twenty or thirty others stand around and urge them on and clap when the performance is successful.

"During the last Fall, soccer football practice was held every afternoon in the vacant lot, after compulsory military or dumbbell drill. A crowd of gaping bystanders from the street always looked on, for the Chinese enjoy a 'look-see,' at anything out of the ordinary, and one may well believe the story of the Chinese man who, upon seeing a game of tennis, asked how much the players were paid for running about like that. At first, one of the difficulties in football was the matters of substitutes, because a player 'lost face,' if taken out, and often no other would fill his place for fear of a similar misfortune. Gradually the new idea of team-work partially overcame this, and the spirit of the players was shown by the fact that they several times walked to a field outside the city (about two miles from the school) in order to get better practice. The season ended with a satisfying victory over the Presbyterian Mission School of Siangtan, which roused the enthusiasm of the whole school, faculty and students alike.

"Cheers and songs were learned at mass meetings before the game. The first of these meetings caused much mirth and excitement among the students, for the motions of the foreign cheer leader

were a strange sight, but noise, organized or otherwise, never offends the Chinese ear, and soon a creditable rendering of Brek-ek-ek-ex was produced.

"After the football season, an interclass series of basketball games were played off, followed by two weeks' training for a big interscholastic meet held in December. Ya-li easily took first place, entering a team of ten men who scored a total of sixty points. The school that placed second entered forty men who scored a total of seventy points, but the totals were divided by the number of entries. Medals were awarded, and as they were the gift of the governor of

the province, the Ya-li students who won them were very proud and the envy of the rest of the school. Thus interest in athletics is growing rapidly and the prestige of the "big athlete" already beginning.

"The arrival at the school of a theodolite, for the use of the architects on the new property, caused a pleasant outing for the members of the trigonometry class who made an expedition to measure the height of Yolo San, the sacred mountain across the river from Changsha. Some alarming discrepancies in the computations were finally accounted for by the fact that the tripod was set in the sand and must have changed its level by sinking.

"On Christmas night, many of the students whose homes were too far away to permit their leaving the school, gathered in the class-room to witness a reproduction of Poli's presented by the younger members of the faculty. As the Chinese are more fond of theatrical entertainments than any other amusement they were very appreciative and the performance furnished a merry Christmas for all concerned.

"An important organization, almost entirely in the hands of the students, is the Y. M. C. A. The officers arrange for the meetings and select the speakers to address them, either from the faculty or other missions in Changsha. They also co-operate with the City Y. M. C. A. and have sent student speakers to address meetings outside the school, as in the deputation work in Dwight Hall. The President of the School Y. M. C. A. in the class that graduated last January, has now accepted a position in the city Y. M. C. A., where he will serve until the opening of the College Department of Ya-li in September.

"Perhaps one's first impression of the students is that they are unappreciative and unresponsive, but the longer one stays at the school, the more likeable qualities he discovers among them, and the more certain he becomes that the labor spent in their behalf is not in vain."

Dr. Edward H. Hume, recently appointed head of Yale-in-China. In the following letter describes the desolation of the city of Yokohama after the earthquake of Sept. 1. Dr. Hume who passed through Japan about five weeks ago on his way to Changsha, China, to take up his new duties, praises the work of the American consulate in its promptness, to aid the city in recovering from the disaster. Consul-General Johnson is particularly lauded for his services to stricken foreigners. The American head-quarters is virtually the only building in the city left standing.

Dr. Humes Letter

Yokohama, Japan, Oct. 6, 1923.
My dear Mr. Editor,

No description can be adequate,
no verbal picture vivid enough, to
bring you any real conception of the
scene of devastation I have seen in
Yokohama today.

As we steamed slowly up Yedo
Bay this morning, just five weeks
after the great earthquake, I
thought of how Commodore Perry
must have been impressed by the
picture when he sailed up these
same waters with his little fleet just
seventy years ago. Suddenly we
came by the little fortified island
that all travelers know so well, lying
about ten miles south of Yokohama
harbor. Split vertically at several
points, its great disappearing guns
topped over, the whole fort a
crumbling mass of ruins, it was like
a place shattered by some Olympian
god with a thunderbolt, shrivelled
up and useless—ruins to show a
visitor rather than a symbol of
Japan's naval and military forces.
We shuddered at this first evidence
of the earthquake's violence.

Disappearance of Landmarks

Those who knew Yokohama
crowded at the rail as we neared
the city. "See that great gap in the
hill," called one and showed us
where the general hospital for for-
igners had stood high up on "The
Bluff" and had slid down into a
mass of ruin. "Why, there isn't a
building along the whole water-
front," cried another. And sure
enough, from the bridge at the
south end of the settlement, adjoin-
ing which the Grand hotel had stood
resplendent for many years, the first
hotel in the Orient to greet most
American travelers, clear away to
the warehouse district northwards,
not even the ground floor of any
house was to be seen. "I can't bear
to look any longer" exclaimed Mr.
E. W. Frazar, head of the great
American trading firm of Sale and
Frazar, who was close to me on the
dock, and went inside. "That's
where our beautiful home used to
be" was the disconsolate utterance
of Miss S., returning to Yokohama
with her father after a few months
absence, as she pointed to one of
the choicest sites on the few bluffs. Al-
most driven to melancholia by the
sense of loss, these two American

had proceeded at once with cre-
mation!

Wreckage Along Waterfront

At the head of the quay stands a
battered mass, ripped open from top
to bottom, roofless, floorless, its
thresnoïds awasn, several feet below
its former level—the marred ruins
of the handsome Custom house. And
of the handsome Custom house, con-
just beyond it, reaching northward,
row on row of the warehouses con-
nected with the customs service, and
the shipping companies; some still
upright, more of them titled over at
a dangerous angle, some wholly
demolished and lying in a heap at
the water's edge. Everywhere that,
clear proof of the universal change
in the ground level—buildings that
stood well above the water being
now right down to the edge and
many of the lower floors awasn.
Crashing piles of walls had slipped
to the edge, some had gone into the
harbor, others still stand poised on
insecure footings such that any
shock—and there are almost daily
shocks that in ordinary times would
have caused great alarm—would
pile them over into the sea.

Up to Concolate-General

Scarcely had we anchored this
morning when there stepped on
board Nelson Trusler Johnson, a
man of whom all Americans may
well be proud and whom the Con-
sular Service will continue to honor.
Only eight years since Johnson was
a vice-consul at Hankow, and yet
today he is Consul-General at Large,
with a district reaching from Vladivostok to Singapore under his super-
vision. He had just come out for a
study of his entire district and hap-
pened to be there when the

in the world and difficulties are
overcome, emergencies taken care
of and American honor upheld!

The Shattered City

Wherever we walked, we met the
same pictures; one, of complete and
sudden destruction; and one of re-
markable sanitary attack on the
terrible wrecked situation. Here we
could make out the sign "Interna-
tional Banking Corporation" and
that was about all we could see of
a once noble building. Great blocks
of wall, brick and granite cemented
together, dashed down through the
building or on to the street. Every
few paces a wheel or a running
board, piled up with debris, to mark
where an automobile had been wait-
ing outside the office to take the
business man home when his office
closed. Countless chauffeurs still sit
at their wheels throughout the city,
covered with tons of wreckage that
cannot be removed for weeks to
come; and countless clerks will still
befound in their offices, closing the
safes or putting the week's letters,
burled under a weight that no SAN-
tary squad can dislodge.

Down the Bund, Yokohama's
waterfront street, one mourned first
of all destruction of the trees.
Where rows of fine evergreens stood
now bare skeletons, black, crisp, fra-
gile, remain like spirit watchmen
from the banks of the Styx. It was
tragic to see, every little way, me-
tal signboard of some well known
American business house, the more
modest shingle of some professional
man, the little enamelled numbe-
plates assigned by the police

YALE HELPING IN CHINA

Enormous Increase in School Attendance
Shown in Ten Years

Yale influence in China is growing steadily, Dr. Edward Hicks Hume, president of the American College at Changsha, 1000 miles up the Yangtze River, says. He urged today that Yale alumni make possible the increase of that influence.

Raids by unpaid bandits are protests against the local Government and result in reform from Peking, he said in addressing the Society of Yale-in-China at the Hotel Commodore last night. In 1912 there were 1,500,000 children in schools in that country, he said, while ten years later there were 7,000,000, and he estimated that this number will double in ten years.

YALE'S TOWN IN CHINA
BOMBARDED IN BATTLE

U. S. Gunboat to Act if Americans at Chang-Sha Are Harmed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—The town of Chang-Sha, China, where Yale-in-China, the Yale medical institute, is situated, was bombarded October 23 during hostilities between Chinese factions, the State Department was advised to-day by Minister Schurman,

The Chinese authorities have been informed that the American gunboat in the river at Chang-Sha would return the fire on any guns brought to bear upon American property or nationals.

The report of the bombardment reached Minister Schurman from the American naval commander on the Yangtze River. The Minister demanded the Pekin authorities protect the Americans in the town.

The Chinese Foreign Minister agreed to telegraph the contending factions at Chang-Sha and endeavor to get them to protect a neutral zone that would cover American property and nationals.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 25.—No information had been received to-day at Yale University of a bombardment at Chang-Sha.

Feathers from Dead Men's Caps.

Almost all the students of the Oregon Agricultural College, born and reared west of the Cascade Mountains, either have poor teeth or show more or less evidence of goitre, due to drinking melted snow water, totally lacking in lime and organic salts. Eat more sea fish and green vegetables.

Buckle, the historian, refers to identical conditions and observations in upper India and parts of Africa.

Over a century ago, Himalayan tribes knew what caused the widely prevalent disease, and burned sponges for the sake of the iodine in their ashes.

As early as 1807, Mungo Park, the explorer, witnessed the same practice among negro witch-doctors, also aware of goitre's origin and the efficacy of iodine treatment.

Modern medicine reaches a belated diagnosis and cure. The group of pathologists, who have just plumed themselves upon introducing a novelty to therapeutics, seem to have plucked their feathers from dead men's caps.

All sound knowledge isn't recent. Previous folk, too, were fundamental. What modern mathematician is comparable to Archimedes? And, pray, who can temper bronze, nowadays?

Dr. Branch, of the Yale-Hunan Hospital, in Changsha, credits Chinese practitioners with secret remedies that the West might well adopt. Some of their heart stimulants, cathartics, and dropsy prescriptions are much superior to those in our pharmacopoeia.

CHINESE MINISTER
PRAISES YA-LI WORK.

Dr. V. K. Wellington Koo Calls Ya-li
College "One of the Best Institutions
of Learning in China."

Dr. V. K. Wellington Koo, the lately appointed Chinese Minister to the United States, states, in a letter to THE NEWS, that in his estimation the Ya-li College at Changsha, Hunan, is one of the best institutions of learning in China. It is receiving the fullest support from the powerful gentry and officials of Hunan. In 1913 they co-operated with Ya-li in the founding of a medical school.

Dr. Koo received his collegiate educa-
tion in this country at Columbia, from
which he was graduated in 1908 and
from the Law School in 1912. While a
student at Columbia, he was for two
years Chairman of the *Columbia Spec-
tator*, and was the recognized head of
the so-called Young China movement in
this country, whose members were Chi-
nese students attending American uni-
versities. On returning to his own coun-
try, he occupied several important Gov-
ernmental positions including that of
private secretary to Yuan Shi-Kai.

The appointment of Dr. Koo as Minis-
ter to the United States was generally
recognized as a wise one. He is prob-
ably the youngest man ever to hold so
high a position at Washington. He rep-
resents the best of the younger progres-
sive element which is now in control of
the government of China.

Dr. Koo's letter follows:

"In compliance with your request, I
am glad to write a few lines about the
institution which is a pride of China as
well as of Yale.

"In my estimation the Ya-li College at Changsha, Hunan, is one of the best institutions of learning in China. It has contributed no small share in the modernization of Hunan, which used to be considered a conservative province by foreigners, but which is now recognized as one of the most progressive of all the provinces in the country.

"The powerful gentry and enlightened officials of Hunan have not been slow in showing their appreciation of what the Ya-li College has done for the general education of the people. In 1913, when a large amount of money was secured in the United States for the erection of a new Yale hospital at Changsha, they immediately made it an occasion to demonstrate their appreciation by entering into an agreement with the Yali Medical College, by which a medical school was jointly established. This manifestation of confidence of the once conservative gentry and officials in the Ya-li institution bespeaks its popularity with the Chinese, and is a happy augury of its future.

"Though as yet only a young institution, the Ya-li College is looked upon as a good example of what efficiency means in school administration. The Yale men who, as directors, administrators and teachers of this institution, including Dr. F. C. Yen, a Chinese graduate of Yale, could not devote their efforts to a nobler purpose nor render a greater service to new China.

"An offspring of Yale University, the Ya-li College is true to the parent institution in that it cherishes and fosters the spirit of service to humanity as the keynote of teaching. It is deserving of heartiest support, moral as well as financial, from all the good people who believe in the uplifting of mankind by means of education."

Widespread Feeling That Aims of U. S.
Are Unselfish—Y. M. C. A. Plays
Active Part Among Undergraduates
and Holds Important Position.

*(The following article was written for the NEWS by A. Sabin Chase, ex-1920, who has recently returned from Yale-in-China, where he served last year as an instructor on short term appointment.)*

I wish that I could tell about Yali in a way that would correctly show how much I enjoyed my year's experience there. It is difficult for me to say whether the source of my greatest satisfaction in having gone to Changsha is the opportunity gained to learn of China and the splendid Chinese people, or the association with the fine, unselfish body of men and women who are or have been giving their services to work at Yali and the Hunan-Yale Hospital.

The Yale Campus has no Harkness Quadrangle or Vanderbilt Hall to render it pretentious. Much remains to be built even in order to carry out the original plans of the architect, Mr. Murphy. But such of the permanent buildings as are now completed and in use are substantial and very well designed to combine both the foreign and Chinese elements, and the whole layout of the place, Chapel, dormitories, cloisters, athletic field and faculty houses, already has a strong character and charm and promises even more for the future.

Under the efficient direction of Paul Hamlin, the whole system of athletics at the College was skillfully reorganized during the past year. Probably the most important result achieved in this line was the training of student squad-leaders to lead their fellow-students daily in exercises. Every day, week after week, these leaders assembled their squads punctually, in fair weather on the fields, during the long rainy season under cover of the cloisters, and put them vigorously through the sort of disciplinary working out of muscles that is just what is badly needed to build up the Chinese physically. Both the leaders and the squads had reached a high degree of efficiency by the end of the year, and further, a new set of leaders had been trained by Hamlin to take the place of the others this fall. An indisputable proof of the efficiency of this work was discovered, when in June a comparison of the year's improvement in physical measurements of the Yali students with that made by boys of government schools of Changsha was made by the Hunan-Yale doctors. On the average, the Yali students showed a far greater improvement.

I do not think that any narration of the last year at Yali would be complete without at least mentioning the Y. M. C. A. The latter institution occupies a relatively much more important position at the school than it does in American colleges, for the simple reason that there are as yet no other clubs or fraternities organized. So this one small room in the Middle School recitation hall that has been given over to the Y. M. C. A. is without doubt the most popular and crowded spot on the campus. Under the clever management of Mr. Lei Chiang of the present college junior class, practically the entire student body has enlisted as paying members, and at the same time the institution has been very active in conducting outside schools for poor children, night schools for the coolies on the place, etc. This summer, moreover, several Yali men spent their entire time teaching in these Y. M. C. A. schools.

It is no doubt of little use and perhaps inadvisable for one of short experience in China to say anything about so complicated and constantly changing a subject as the political situation there. But it should no do harm to mention what general tendencies of opinion on political matters seemed to be developing among the students at Yali and which are perhaps more or less typical of the present thought of all that well-organized and powerful element in China, the young student class. In the first place, it was gratifying to note a strong spirit of friendship for America and a widespread feeling that the aims of our country are absolutely unselfish. At the same time, there seemed to be a good deal of resentment and suspicion towards Japan, and England to a lesser degree, and

the Anglo-Japanese Alliance was decidedly unpopular. As the combined result of the European war, Bolshevism propaganda, continual poverty, famines and civil wars, the young and idealistic Chinese appears to have become desperate in his attitude toward the situation and is constantly impatient to get rid of the present evils and start in again with some new scheme. So anything much talked about, from co-education to communism, finds many adherents among the students. Although there is much discouragement with the chaotic condition of the national government, there seems to be hope and some grounds for hope in regard to the reform of the provincial governments separately. For instance, in Hunan, just before we left, a meeting of the Provincial Assembly was being held and a new and progressive constitution drafted.

Examinations and Graduation were held during a blazing climax of sunny weather. Dr. Hume arrived from America just in time to make a brilliant speech in Chinese and English at the Commencement exercises. Genuine B.A. and M.D. degrees, recognized by the State of Connecticut, were given to the candidates for graduation for the first time.

WORK OF YALE-IN-CHINA

YALE CUSTOMS DEVELOPED.

Morning Chapel, Commencement Exercises and Organization of Life of Students Practically the Same As Carried Out Here.

*(Part of the funds collected by the Y. M. C. A. drive, which starts to-day, is to go to the support of athletic and curricular activities at Yale-in-China, which are described below in a letter to the News by H. H. Vreeland, 1912 S.)*

In November, 1906, only fifteen years ago, there was opened in China at Changsha, the capital of the important inland province of Hunan, a small school which was known as "Yale-in-China" and whose faculty consisted of two Yale graduates. There were enrolled in this school less than thirty students and recitations were conducted in rented quarters. This was the beginning of what is now the important College of Yale-in-China and the Hunan-Yale Hospital and College of Medicine.

The growth of the work at Yale-in-China has been so gradual and the progress made so quietly accomplished that there are to-day many Yale undergraduates and alumni who do not realize that "Yali," as it is usually called, is to-day one of the half-dozen leading educational institutions in China, with the largest and most modern hospital in all central China and a College of Medicine second only to the new Rockefeller institution in Peking. There is now a faculty of thirteen teachers, fourteen doctors and eight nurses, all American trained, who, with the assistance of a number of native-trained Chinese, teach a student body of almost three hundred in the Middle School and College of Arts and Sciences, over fifty in the College of Medicine, and more than sixty in the Nursing School.

In the development of this "Younger Yale," as it has been called, it is particularly interesting to learn how much the life there resembles that of the undergraduate here in New Haven. Many of the customs, such as morning chapel, the procedure at the Commencement exercises, and the organization of the student life outside the class room are practically the same as those here at Yale. The organized extra-curriculum activities are coming to be almost as comprehensive as our own. The Yali students have their "Co-op." their Glee Club, their student magazine, *The Yali Student*, their various athletic teams, while the Y. M. C. A. conducts educational classes for the poor boys of Changsha similar to those run by Dwight Hall. During the last spring term, two such schools were conducted, one for poor children and the other for the school servants. In the former, Bible, Chinese, arithmetic,

COLLEGE SUPREME IN PROVINCE.

Athletic Teams Have Long Record of Achievements in All Branches of Sports—Equipment for Physical Training Well Suited for Needs.

(By Paul M. Hamlin, Athletic Director of Yale-in-China for the past year.)

"The students of Yali like all kinds of athletics. They have not always liked them, but to-day certainly no one who has seen the Yali students in their various sports can deny that a big step has been taken from the days when all kinds of bodily exercise was frowned upon and discouraged. Given the moral and spirits there now is at Yali, there should be no question about the future of athletics at Yale in China as the College continues to grow.

"At Yale in China there is the following athletic equipment; namely, an enclosed gymnasium consisting of a game court and two committee and store rooms; two outdoor basketball courts; one large athletic field surrounded with a running track one-sixth of a mile in length and fitted for track and field events; one smaller football field; three class tennis courts; five volleyball courts; a baseball diamond on the large athletic field for American baseball, and a diamond for play ground baseball, the college also possesses the necessary accessories to use this equipment. Thus it can be seen that Yali in China is well able to meet the present athletic needs of her students.

"Probably the greatest advancement made during the last year and a half at Yali has been the training and placing of student leaders in charge of squads of students. The system of having certain qualified students lead other students has worked splendidly, and it benefits not only Yali but much more the leaders and students. Seeing their fellow students lead them the students are learning that what their classmates can do they themselves can do. Thus a reaction between Leaders and students is started which raises the general level of athletic endeavor at Yali. During the past term there have been eighteen squads with as many Leaders. Each day—six days in the week—these Leaders stand in front of the students in their charge, and put them through setting up exercises. Toward the end of May and during the first of June Leaders in rotation were placed in charge of all the students in the College. While these leaders were conducting these mass drills, that which struck one most was not the general excellence of the Leader's work, but the fact that the students obeyed the student Leader implicitly. They made no endeavor to cause a disturbance.

"At the present writing eighteen additional students are in training to become Leaders for the year 1921-1922.

"The College has had several games with outside teams within the last year. There are, however, no first class schools near Changsha against whom the Yali teams can compete. Thus the games played with the Hunan schools are of less importance than they would be if the Yali players were matched against teams of their own calibre. Several games in football have been played with teams from the British gunboats stationed at Changsha, and played well even if against odds. Siangtan was played in football and basketball, and defeated. In basketball the Faculty usually won against the students, but they would take revenge upon the Faculty if games in football were played. Most of the games of the year were interclass games in the form of a tournament. The spring tournament aroused much enthusiastic support. It was played among teams representing the College Department, the Fourth Year, the Third and Second Year. On November 26 the Annual Interclass Track Meet was held on the athletic field.

"On May 5th and 6th the All Hunan Open Track Meet was held at the Educational Association Grounds in Changsha. Yali sent ten athletes to take part, and they came home at the end of the second day with seven first places, six second places, the Championship Silver Cup, and the First and

Third Individual Championships to their credit. Our athletes made a very favorable showing in this meet, and because of it five of Yali's athletes were sent by the Educational Association of Changsha to participate in the Central China Meet held at Wuchang on May 15th and 16th. In the Wuchang Meet Yali's athletes were also successful, winning four first places and two second places.

"The athletic year of 1920-21 at Yali has been one of progress in each of the departments of football, basketball, tennis, volleyball, and on the track and field. And if one can predict anything of the future from a study of the past and the present, the athletic year of 1921-22 at Yali would seem to be bright."

Funds that are being raised for the Y. M. C. A. budget cover administration expenses, Sprague Hall meetings, Boys' Club Groups, Americanization classes, Dwight and Byers expenses, Foreign Student Work, Yale Hope Mission, Rural Deputations, contributions to Y. M. C. A. and Yale-in-China. The last organization, Yali, is probably the least known of the entire group. J. M. Vorys, 1918, spent the winter at Changsha two years ago and in a letter to his classmates gives a good idea of what Ya-li is, where it is, and what it stands for.

*What it is*—Ya-li includes a College of Arts and Sciences and has its own Preparatory Department, like any New England Preparatory School. It also has a hospital and a school for nurses. There are over 300 students in the various departments.

*Where it is*—Ya-li is at Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, right in the heart of China, about 900 miles from the sea. You can get there from Shanghai by river steamer, or you can travel part of the way by train.

*What It Stands For*—Ya-li stands for the best ideals of American education and for transplanting them into China in such a way as to give the Chinese the thought that it is their institution and not merely an American idea imposed upon them. It is a Christian institution in the big sense of the word.

EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES
ON INCREASE AT YALI

Traces Growth from Prep.
School to College.

GOOD TEACHERS IN DEMAND.

Faculty Aims to Make Academic Work
Of Equal Standard With That of Yale
—Students More Eager to Learn
Than Average in U. S.

(The following article was written for the News by Dickson H. Leavens, 1909, who is in this country on leave of absence from Yali, where he is a member of the faculty.)

When the plans for Yale in China were first formulated about twenty years ago, it was intended to begin with a full-fledged college. But that was while China was still following her old style classical education, and outside of a few coast ports there were practically no students prepared to enter a college with a modern curriculum. So it was necessary to start in with a preparatory school, in which boys could get a thorough grounding in English, and in subjects needed as a foundation for later college work. This school was opened in 1906 with about 30 students, and has had a steady growth until its enrollment is now nearly 200.

Owing to economic pressure and other reasons many students do not stay through, and there were not enough ready to start college work until 1914. The college classes are still very small and so far only twenty men have been graduated. The college enrollment is now over 100, so that they form quite a distinct body and are no longer overshadowed by much larger numbers of prep. boys as in the earlier years.

It has always been the aim to make the academic work of Yale in China of equally high standard with that of Yale here. With a small faculty, it has not always been possible to have a specially trained man for each department, and sometimes as a temporary makeshift a subject has had to be taught by a man who has not had more than an undergraduate course in it himself. At present, however, the main departments are covered by the men of the permanent staff, all of whom have had from one to three years of graduate study; and other subjects offered can usually be satisfactorily handled by them as a side line, or by one-year men who may have specialized in their undergraduate course. Half a dozen more permanent men with graduate training are needed to round out the faculty, before much specialization within a department can begin.

The catalog of courses offered now compares very favorably with that of small American colleges. It is of course impossible to have a very wide range of electives each year, but a number of electives are offered once in three years, so that a student is enabled to do a fair amount of specialization in addition to

required fundamental courses. At present the elective courses have small enrollment, often only from 5 to 10 students, so that each one gets much more individual attention than is possible in a large college.

It is in many ways more interesting and satisfactory to teach at Yale in China than in a prep. school or college in this country. Living conditions are slightly different, but just as comfortable as in America, and most people who have lived in China feel the "call of the East" and wish to return. The students, in a country where educational opportunities are limited, are a more selected lot and more eager to learn than the average in this country, so the teacher does not have to spend quite so much of his energy in driving the student to work. In a comparatively small and new college, each member of the faculty has more responsibility and more opportunity for initiative, and can feel that he is having a part in building up an institution which has every prospect of becoming an influence in China equal to Yale in America.

Permanent men will be needed for the following subjects: Biology, Modern Languages, English, Education, Forestry, Biblical Literature and Religious Education, Librarian, and Athletic Director.

Any undergraduates who are thinking of teaching any of the above might profitably consider teaching at Changsha for a year or two after graduation, with a

view to returning there permanently after graduate study, if they should then be offered and wish to accept reappointment. One and two-year appointments of men with bachelor's degree are also made in cases where there is no expectation of later permanent appointment. A year or two in China is a very interesting and valuable experience for any man before going into business. Any man interested should see Mr. Vreeland at the Yale in China Office, 5 White Hall.

THREE 1922 MEN APPOINTED.

W. R. Cooper and D. C. Smith Leave
After Graduation For Two Years Out
At Changsha, and S. Woodward For
One—J. Speiden May Also Go.

(The following article was written for the NEWS by H. H. Vreeland, 1912, Executive Secretary of Yale in China.)

The remarkable success which the
College of Yale in China has achieved
during its twenty years of existence,
has in no small degree been due to the
share which Yale undergraduates have
had in its development. The most
unique and important contribution
made by Yale in New Haven has been
the steady stream of one-year teachers,
which has been sent out from successive
graduating classes.

In 1909 and 1910, one or two grad-
uates went out to teach for one or
more years. Since 1913, three of four
members of each graduating class have
taught at Yale in China. There are at
present four members of the class of
1921 at Changsha: Joseph Keeney, Harry
Mali, Benjamin Nangle and Godfrey
Rockefeller. From the present senior
class, W. R. Cooper and D. C. Smith
have already received two year ap-
ponitments, and Stanley Woodward is
going out for one year. It is also likly
that John Speiden will be appointed
for one year at the next meeting of the
Board of Trustees.

The presence at Yale in China of
these young graduates, serves to bring
to college atmosphere and customs of
of New Haven very close to the Chinese
boys. The extra-curriculum activities
of Yale are largely duplicated at Chang-
sha, as one will find there track, foot-
ball, basketball, and baseball teams,
a glee club, an undergraduate paper, a
Y. M. C. A., similar in character to
Dwight Hall, and numerous other stu-
dent activities. It has been said that
the Yale spirit has been successfully
transplanted from New Haven to Chang-
sha and it is true that the students of
Yali are noted in China for their high
loyalty to their Alma Mater.

Another way in which undergraduates here have aided materially in the work at Yale in China, is by their annual contribution of money through the Dwight Hall budget. During the college year 1920-21, a total of $3,500 was given in this way for the purpose of constructing a residence at Changsha to be known as the "Wilder House," in honor of Dr. Amos P. Wilder, '84, the former Secretary of Yale in China. The house, a picture of which appears elsewhere in this issue, has just been completed, and is now occupied by Miss Gage, the Dean of the Nursing School, and two other nurses. Recent letters from Changsha state that this residence is exceedingly comfortable and probably the most satisfactory of the smaller residences on the Yale in China campus. Yale undergraduates should be proud of the share which they are having in the work of Yale in China and should look forward to aiding to an increased extent after graduation.

The "Wilder House," built with the $3,500 given by University undergraduates through the Dwight Hall budget last year.

YALI IN SEVENTEENTH YEAR.

Four Hundred Chinese Enrolled in Four
Departments—Mainly Supported By
Contributions From Yale Under-
graduates and Alumni.

Sixteen years ago this month three Yale graduates opened a small school in Changsha, the capital of the great central China province of Hunan. Since this undertaking was entirely supported by Yale alumni, it was called Yale in China. From these small beginnings the Yale work at Changsha has steadily grown until Yali to-day is one of the five leading educational institutions of China and has a faculty of forty-five Americans and Chinese, who are largely Yale graduates. It includes a College of Arts and Sciences, a large Preparatory School, a College of Medicine and a Hospital with a Nurses' Training School. There are this year over four hundred students enrolled in these departments.

Yale in China, commonly known as Yali, is Yale's contribution towards solving the Far Eastern problem and promoting better understanding between the two great republics of the United States and China. It stands for the best ideals of American education and aims to train young Chinese for leadership in education, medicine, science and business; and to develop in them high character and an allegiance to the Christian ideals of service and world brotherhood. It represents the highest and most effective form of service which America can at present render to China.

The importance of the work being accomplished at Yali is recognized by the China Medical Board of the Rockefeller Foundation and by the Commonwealth Fund. These two organizations will this year contribute almost $60,000 towards the support of the Medical School. The entire support of the College of Arts and Sciences and a large share of the expense of the other departments are borne by Yale alumni.

Last year the total operating cost of all departments was in excess of $200,000, gold of which amount considerably over $50,000 was contributed by Yale graduates; while the remainder came from the contributions of the two funds mentioned above and from other incomes received in this country and in China. This year about $75,000 will be needed from Yale men, towards which the students at present in Yale University are being asked to contribute $4,500.

Two years ago gifts from Yale undergraduates amounting to $3,500 enabled the construction of a very comfortable residence at Changsha for three members of the staff. Last year the contribution from the University was used towards meeting the expenses of the four members sent out from the Class of 1922. It

is hoped this year to send out at least five members of the senior classes in the College and the Scientific School, and it is proposed to use the $4,500 to aid in meeting their expenses.

Yale in China is unique because it is the only institution of college grade conducted outside of America by the alumni of an American university. That it is accomplishing an excellent work is seen from the fact that many former students of Yali are at present attending Yale and other universities and that graduates of Yali are being admitted to the graduate schools of Yale, Harvard and other institutions without further examination.

At least five members of the present Senior Classes in the College and Scientific School will be sent out to China next summer to teach for one or two years at Yali. The travel and living expenses for one year are in excess of $1,500 per man. Through the Yale Budget, members of the University are asked to contribute $4,500 toward Yale in China. This sum will support three of these teachers for one year. Yale alumni bear the entire support of sixteen members of the faculty, the others are supported by the Chinese, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Commonwealth Fund. It is hoped that Yale undergraduates will share in the work at Changsha to the extent of sending out three men this year.

DR. HUME OF YALE-IN-CHINA SPEAKS
ON EARLY FAR EASTERN CONDITIONS

Chinese Educational, Physical, and Medical Obstacles Had to Be Overcome With Difficulty
By Western Civilization.

Last Tuesday the two upper classes
were treated to what may be safely
called one of the most entertaining
assemblies we have had. Introduced
by Florence Donahue, of Epsilon Nu
Sigma sorority, Dr. Hume held the
rapt attention of his audience to the
last. Dr. Hume has resided in China
for several years ,and he was able to
give many unusual facts about that
country. He told of his experiences
as a physician with the suspicion and
conservatism of an isolated race. He
remarked that in China the patient
examined the physician as much as
the physician the patient. However,
although bigotry is felt, he added that
the Chinese have a fine medical his-
tory. The people are steadily advanc-
ing, and Dr. Hume had the satisfac-
tion of seeing Chinese girls engage
in an athletic contest much in the
manner of western girls.

A great drawback in China's pro-
gress is her religion. The majority
of the people fundamentally worship
spirits. They are obsessed with a
terrible fear for evil spirits and will
go to any lengths to propitiate them.
A dead body is never allowed to be
brought into a house lest the spirits
hovering about slip in.

Our Indian speaker, Mr. Dewani,
told us of the influence exerted by the
students in his country; according to
Dr. Hume the same condition seems
to be true in China. The Chinese stu-
dents are intensely interested in poli-
tics, so naturally they watched the
result of the Versailles treaty very
carefully. When it was heard that a
province had been unjustly taken from
their country, the students instigated
strikes throughout the land until the
government dismissed the dishonest
officials responsible for this deed.

As the Juniors and Seniors filed out
they were heard discussing various
points of Dr. Hume's talk. Gratitude
is due Dr. Hume not only for his
entertainment, but for the fact that he
made his audience think.

Pertinent to the purposes and scope of these organizations, the following resumes have been written:

Harold Vreeland, 1912, executive secretary of Yale in China:

The continued success of Yale in China depends largely upon the present generation of Yale undergraduates. There is at Changsha to-day a fine group of students whose life is largely governed by Yale traditions successfully transplanted to China. The undergraduates and alumni of Yale in China are unusually loyal to their Alma Mater. This loyalty has been developed largely through the efforts of the young Yale graduates who have taught for one or two years at Changsha and who have themselves personified the Yale ideals of good sportsmanship and self sacrificing service. The effectiveness of the work at Changsha would seriously suffer, should the interest and support of the Yale undergraduates weaken. Yale in China is the combined contribution of Yale men towards international friendship. Because of America's proverbial friendship for China, it is natural that China should look to us for assistance. There is nothing which is needed so much as trained leadership. This Yale in China is helping to provide.

Through the Yale Budget it is expected to secure $4,500 which will be used in sending out at least three men from the present senior classes of the College and the Scientific School. This is not a large sum to ask from the entire Yale student body. Yale alumni are this year giving $75,000 towards Yale in China. It is thought that Yale undergraduates will wish to co-operate to the extent of financing at least three of

the short-term teachers next year.

Yali, Yale and America.

To the Chairman of the NEWS:

Dear Sir:

Although I had known for a number of years something about the work which Yale men are doing at Yale in China, I did not have the least conception of its importance and significance until last spring when I became a member of the Board of Trustees. Yali is, at the present time, one of the most import-

ant educational institutions in China. It has made the name of Yale very influential in China and throughout the Far East.

An institution such as Yale in China is, at the present time, of the greatest international significance as China absorbs and adapts to her own use western industrial civilization. It is very essential that "China receive, along with industrialism, the best of western ideals and traditions. Yali is one of the most important means for transmitting these to China.

The great strength of Yale in China is due to the fact that the spirit and traditions of Yale in New Haven have been transferred to the campus at Changsha. The members of the Yale graduating classes who have gone out each summer to teach for one year have made this possible. The greatest service which the student body can render is to send out this year four or five seniors who represent the best in Yale. The money contributed by members of the University through the Yale Budget will be used for this purpose.

There is no institution outside the Yale campus which makes such an appeal to the interest and generosity of Yale men. Those who suport Yali are effectively and intelligently serving both Yale and America.

Yale in China. Nov 1924

The history of Yale in China is the story of a dramatic transformation. On June 21, 1903, missionaries of ten different denominations and societies in the province of Hunan, meeting at Changsha passed the following resolution: "Resolved, That the conference extend a cordial invitation to the Yale University Mission to establish an educational center in Changsha." Changsha was and is a city of great strategic importance, an ancient center of Chinese learning and culture, in one of the most aristocratic and influential provinces in China. In March, 1904, Brownell Gage, '98, arrived in China to begin the work. Yale men realizing "the grave responsibilities involved" had set their hands to a work the outcome of which no one could foresee.

Eighteen years have passed. One of the Yali campus are a middle school, a junior college, a senior college (of which Mr. Gage has until recently been Dean, a hospital, a school for nurses (both men and women) and a medical school. This great result is the outgrowth of the idealism and the generosity of Yale men. And on the Yali campus with its dormitories, its recitation rooms, its athletic fields and its little street of faculty houses is the same Yale atmosphere and spirit that we know in America.

REPRINTED FROM *Reports to the President of Yale University,*
1925-1926.

YALE IN CHINA

IN June, 1926, Yale in China completed its twentieth academic year. Its span of life has covered a momentous period in the history of China. When John Lawrence Thurston, '98, the pioneer of the Yale enterprise, reached China in 1902, it was only two years after the Boxer outbreak and only a year after the signing of the protocol which laid upon China so heavy a burden of indemnities. When Yali first opened its doors to pupils on November 16, 1906, the Manchu dynasty was almost at the end of its rope and the ferment of democracy was beginning to be perceptible. Less than five years later the revolution broke out and the tottering empire collapsed. To-day, after fifteen more years of political experimentation, China is still without a settled government, still subject to widespread and distressing civil strife. It has been a time, however, of remarkable opportunity for Yali. The very fact of political discord and disorder has proved a challenge for the discovery of new national forces of a creative sort. Among these, none is more potent or more highly regarded than education. The time-honored system of state examinations with the old tradition of memorizing the classics was abolished before Yali was a year old, making it possible for the new American institution to begin functioning just when the demand for new educational forms and discipline was becoming insistent.

Coming into existence at such a turning point in Chinese history, Yali's purpose, from the very outset, has been the same as that expressed in Yale's original charter, namely, of training men for "Publick employment both in Church & Civil State." To-day, the resentment against Western aggression and the flaring up of an intense nationalism, far from hindering, provide for Yali a broader field of endeavor, conditioned only on Yali's readiness to adapt itself, like a living organism, to the changed conditions of the new day.

The work of the twenty years has been thoroughly worth
while. Several hundred boys have completed the course in the
College Preparatory School; sixty-seven students have re-
ceived the bachelor's degree in arts and science; forty-three
have received the degree of Doctor of Medicine; and nearly

YALE IN CHINA

The work of the twenty years has been thoroughly worth while. Several hundred boys have completed the course in the College Preparatory School; sixty-seven students have received the bachelor's degree in arts and science; forty-three have received the degree of Doctor of Medicine; and nearly

Yale University

sixty have graduated from the School of Nursing. Beyond the educational roll is the great army of several hundred thousand patients who have received treatment in the wards and outpatient department of the hospital.

More significant, however, than the numerical record has been the human achievement. In the Preparatory School and College, young lives have been brought into intimate contact with trained Western teachers, with whom a strong force of Chinese teachers has coöperated from the very beginning. These men have made the discipline of character one of their primary aims. Those graduates of the College who have spent a long period in Yali, are already, many of them, serving in positions of responsibility in their communities. But there has been something more. Yali has become an instrument for international understanding and good will. Yale graduates seek, year by year, the opportunity to teach at Yali; and graduates of Yali hope for the chance to study at Yale. Streams are already flowing actively in both directions. A group of Yale '98 men have established a scholarship for graduate study at Yale which has already been held with distinction by two Yali graduates and has been awarded for the ensuing year to Mr. K. C. Huang, whose successful experience as a teacher of geography at Yali insures effective graduate study in New Haven. Because of Yali, Yale means more to China. While the Chinese graduates of Yale form a great and illustrious roll, Yali has been Yale transferred, a living reality set down in the midst of a great nation that honors learning.

Probably the most distinctive contribution, however, made by the Yale in China movement has been the development of the Medical College from small beginnings, through a ten-year period in which it was jointly administered and jointly financed by a co-operative board, consisting of ten Yali representatives and ten Changsha citizens of influence, to a goal at which the institution has been wholly taken over by a Chinese board of twenty members, sixteen of whom are natives of the province of Hunan and four are from other provinces. This new board has become responsible for the financing of the Medical College, securing, by direct appeal, grants from the Hunan government, the Rockefeller Founda-

Yale in China

tion, the China Foundation for Education and Culture, and other bodies. The Yali trustees, keen to continue an active share in this medical work, which they themselves inspired and helped to create, and to stand by while it makes its early experiments in indigenous leadership, have agreed to be responsible, for the time being, for the maintenance of the hospital as their share of the medical teaching enterprise, guaranteeing the salaries of a small clinical and nursing staff and underwriting the operating deficit. No action of the Yali trustees has done more to win the approval and the confidence of the Chinese community both in Hunan and elsewhere; or has there been, during the twenty years of Yali history, any more significant moment than that at which there came the complete withdrawal from the administration of a first-rate modern school of medicine, one of the most complex of university units. A similar transfer is now under consideration for the College Preparatory School; and the College of Arts and Science is certain to follow suit and to come under the direction of a board of Chinese graduates of Yale and of Yali at no distant date.

Nursing was unknown in Changsha before Miss Gage came to the Yale Hospital in 1909. Nursing education is now an integral part of the Yale in China program. Miss Gage, who is president of the International Congress of Nurses, has persuaded that body to hold its next quadrennial gathering in China in 1929.

It would be hard to exaggerate the part played by the hospital in gaining the friendship of the community from the earliest years of Yali. Starting in a single room, at the same time that the Preparatory School got under way in 1906, it has been the haven of refuge for the seriously ill of Changsha, a potent instrument in breaking down conservatism and superstition; and, since 1914, it has provided a training ground for students of medicine and nursing.

The period just ahead presents for Yali, together with a larger opportunity, problems of increasing complexity. Adjustment must be made to the increasingly rigorous regulations of the Ministry of Education. This is only normal in a state which is elaborating its own educational system and laying down its own rules regarding standards and institu-

Yale University

tional inspection. Granted a reasonable adjustment to the
requirements of the Ministry of Education, Yali is certain to
be left free for educational initiative and experiment. Devo-
lution of control will be necessary in all aspects of the work,
and the criterion of successful service will be found in suc-
cessful adjustment to the need of the community, with an
adequate emphasis on Chinese culture blended with sound
training in the method and the message of the West.

Yali's endowment funds amount to only $18,000. These
urgently require additions, so that Yali may be enabled to
meet effectively the opportunity set before it. No greater
evidence of the appreciation that Chinese Yale men have of
the Yali enterprise could possibly be found than their vote,
during the past summer, to express their gratitude to Yale
men in America for their generous aid to China; and their
determination to raise, annually, a sum amounting to between
$5,000 and $10,000 to aid the Yali trustees in meeting their
share of the medical grant.

THREE BASES OF SELECTION.

Character, Teaching Ability, and Financial Independence to Be Considered in Making Choice—Three Men Will Be Supported By Yale Budget.

(The following article was written for the NEWS by H. H. Vreeland, 1912 S., Executive Secretary of Yale in China.)

As has been recently announced in connection with the Yale Budget Drive, the $4,500 asked for by Yale in China is to be devoted to assist in sending out at least five members of the present senior classes of the College and the Scientific School to teach for one or two years at Yale in China.

It is important that those who are to receive such assignment be selected as early in the year as possible. As in the past, the number of application for such positions has largely exceeded the number of vacancies, members of the present senior classes interested in going to Changsha should interview either Dr. E. H. Hume, '97, or H. H. Vreeland, 1912 S., in the Yale in China office at 5 White Hall as soon as possible.

The basis for selecting a teacher is first, character and standing in the college community, both as to scholarship and general accomplishment; secondly, ability to teach elementary work in some subject such as Modern Language, History, Social Science, etc., given in the Junior College, in addition to conducting classes in elementary English in the Middle School; thirdly, ability to bear a portion of his own expenses. Of the four men teaching at Changsha this year, one is bearing all of his own expenses, a second is bearing about one-third of his expenses, while the third and fourth are being supported entirely on the regular Yale in China Budget. It is hoped to secure this year two seniors who will be willing to remain at Changsha for two years and three who will go out for one year. It is also hoped that three of these men may be from the College and two from the Scientific School. The principal courses in which it will be desirable to

have these appointees teach next year are French, Social Science, Chemistry, English and History.

Since there is a practical assurance that sufficient money will be raised through the Yale Budget to finance three teachers, and since it is very likely that two others will be found who can support themselves, it is important that the selection be made as soon as possible after the Christmas recess. Men interested are urged to leave their names at the Yale in China office at once. An inquiry regarding particulars involves no obligation.

TEACHERS AT YALI.

November 15, 1922
Attention of the Senior Classes of the Sheffield Scientific School and of the College is called to the announcement from the Yale-in-China office in White Hall. There are two positions open to men who wish to teach at Yali for two years, and three to those who only wish to stay in China for one year. The expenses of these men will be defrayed, if necessary, by the $4,500 asked for in the Yale Budget Drive now being carried on.

The character of the work to be undertaken is described in the article to-day. The need for the work lies in the transference of Yale traditions and ideals to the Campus at Changsha at a time when China is adopting western industrialism and civilization. Mexico is a striking example of an underdeveloped and almost feudal society on which was thrust, without the necessary education and ideals, a highly complicated social order, staggering even to the peoples among whom it was evolved. Yali is of material assistance in saving China from a similar fate and in making possible her peaceful development. This opportunity, however, is but part of the appeal that Yale in China has for Yale graduates. More detailed information can be obtained at the Yale in China office in White Hall.

CHINA DESCRIBED IN ITS
PRESENT DAY CONDITION

Conflict Between the New
and Old Schools Offers
Interesting Problem.

INFORMATION FOR YALI MEN,

Article Written Especially for the
Undergraduates Who Hope to Go
to China to Teach—Customs and
Manners of People Picturesque.

(The following article was written for the NEWS by Joseph S. Keeney, 1921, who taught in China during the year 1921-1922 and is at present a student in the Graduate School.)

When thinking of China, the average
undergraduate undoubtedly is curious as
to the sort of things with which he
would come into contact should he go
there some day. The following observa-
tions are, therefore, written with the
hope that they may aid him in under-
standing what makes China particularly
fascinating to one who travels and
teaches there at this time and comes into
considerable contact with its people and
problems.

The most interesting problems existing
at present are due to the conflict between
the Old China and the New China.
Everyone knows that the China of the
temple, of the pedantic scholar, of dirty
alleys and individual shopkeepers is yield-
ing slowly to the China of the Christian
Church, the international statesman, wide
streets and big industry. The old order
is changing, and our order of things is
superseding it. Change does not come
about in a society without strain any
more than it does in the alteration of the
shape of a bar of iron. It is my purpose
to show, first, superficial appearances of
this strain, and, second, to show some
deeper affects of it on the lives of the
Chinese people.

Large numbers of college students have
adopted European clothes. In the shops
and hotel lobbies of Shanghai and other
trade centers there are galaxies of ori-

entals in our dress. Even in remote
places like Changsha the blue shirt, pink
socks and light tan shoes represent our
style of dress if not of taste. Chinese
tailoring does not completely conceal the
identity of coat and trousers. The flow-
ing robe of the East is fast giving way.

The brass shops shine with row on
row of Chinese water pipes. The old
men in skull caps and flowing silks may
still be seen smoking these, the stem
curving from the lips in a graceful,
sweeping and prodigious descent to the
bowl which sputters below on the pave-
ment. On the other hand, the street ped-
dlers' trays and the shop counters are
heaped with the wares of British tobacco
concerns; and the young men in growing
numbers knock off the ashes from for-
eign cigar and cigarette as neatly as the
most correct Yale undergraduate.

Electric lighting is used to some extent
in practically all of the trade centers of
China. As one makes his way along the
street, the brilliant electric lights of one
shop make a strange contrast with the
dim oil lamp light in the next, pale and
shivering and only half reevaling the in-
terior.

Large and commodious steamers ply
the rivers; even in the shallow tributaries
the steam launch is a frequent sight. In
striking contrast to this modernity are
the Chinese junks. Their full and pic-
turesque sails dot the rivers everywhere.
To a traveler along a river route they
are ever in sight, underway in midstream
or idling in fleets near to the shore, their
bared masts resembling a grove of tele-
graph poles.

Salt arrives in Canton from Hongkong
by freight steamers. From there it is car-
ried in casks on the backs of coolies into
the interior, distances of from 200 to 300
miles. Foreign steam and Chinese muscle!

Perhaps nothing more strikingly re-
veals the meeting of East and West than
the different modes of travel in Peking.
Numerous are the ways of entering the
city. Let a ricksha coolie bring you in,
while you watch his pigtail swish as he
runs. Travel by creaking coolie chairs.
Ride in bestride a burro, bump in on a
Peking cart or enter laying a whip over
the backs of camels. If you must be
modern, you may take your choice of
bicycle, automobile, train and aeroplane.

Now for the less superficial aspects of
the conflict of East and West in the
orient.

The foreigner is a hustler. The Chi-
nese move only when strongly motivated,
either from within or without. Their
environment has never called for drive
and energy. I have often wondered what
the student thinks of being called by for-
eign strenuousness to the athletic field for
setting up exercises in the morning, and
later in the day for compulsory athletics.
His must be the same revolt as was that
of the office sedentary called to the col-
ors and strenuous life in the Great War.

The Chinese student is courteous above
all things. If he has anything unpleasant
to say, he doesn't say it; he hints at it
by the most euphonious indirection which
only the subtlety of the Chinese mind
could grasp. If the Chinese student is
playing a musical instrument and asks
you how you think he is getting along,
if you think that his playing is execrable
(as you undoubtedly will), you should
say that his playing was excellent and
that you think he will get along rapidly

(Continued on fourth page.)

China Described in its

(Continued from third page)

if he practices hard. The student will
know by the latter part of the remark
that you think his work bad, but you
have not said so and you have shown real
delicacy. What the Chinese boy thought,
when he received a curt "Rotten" from
a nerve racked Yale Bachelor a few years
ago in an inquiry relative to his violin
playing I cannot even guess. I should
have sooner murdered his venerable
grandfather than whom there is no one
he more reveres. The Chinese suffer a
lot from what we call "Yankee direct-
ness" which they would call incredible
rudeness and discourtesy.

The Chinese women hobble on their
bound feet to the games in which their
daughters, coached by foreigners, race
about on the basketball court. The Chi-
nese woman has never taken a natural
stride in her life. She walks stiffly on
her tiny feet as if she were on stilts. I
have seen her shifting her feet back and
forth to bring them under her to regain
her balance. It is fascinating to ruminate
on her feelings watching her emancipated
daughter in action with the full use of her
limbs.

There is perhaps no more affecting
drama than that which goes on in the
homes of the Chinese where the parents
adhere to their idols and the youth accept
Christ. Among Westerners it takes tre-
mendous courage to change from one
branch to another of the Christian
Church and causes much misunderstand-
ing and many heartaches. The situation is
even more fraught with drama and pain
when a man gives up his religion and
adopts an entirely different one. The
prophetic words of Christ were never
more in point than in application to
China, "I am come to set a man at vari-
ance against his father, and the daugh-
ter against her mother, and the daughter-
in-law against her mother-in-law. And
a man's foes shall be they of his own
household."

Chinese marriages are arranged be-
tween the parents, and the bride and
groom are not consulted. According to
custom there is no social intercourse be-
tween the prospetcive married couple be-
fore marriage. A Chinese college gradu-
ate was amazed when I told him it was
customary in America for young men
and young women to mingle together
freely in social life. In my year in China
I never saw a young man speak to a
young woman, unless she was of his
family. The assiduous college graduates
of China interest themselves in all the
knotty social problems of the day and in
cultural advancement. They have a wide
range of ideas and a broad outlook on
life. The family, however, usually dic-
tates who their wives shall be. Too often
they are girls with little education, with
no broad interests or sympathies. They
can never go beyond small talk and trivi-
alities. They are awkward and illiterate.
Due to seclusion they have no common
fund of experience with their husbands
and no basis for building up one after
marriage. The mutual affection, anguish and
despair which follow in thousands of
homes are among the strange dramatic
byproducts of the foreigner's contact with
the Chinese.

These are a few of the indications of
social strain, some superficial, others as
deep as the heart which one may observe

in China to-day. The prospective volun-
teer for service in China should appre-
ciate the poignant interest that will at-
tach to his work because of the inevit-
able way it will call to his attention this
stirring conflict in the social life of China
due to the new ideals, inspiration and en-
large outlook that the foreigner is intro-
ducing. This will be only one source of
interest in a country teeming with appeals
to the heart and mind.

SPORTS AT YALI DISCUSSED
BY JOHN M. SPEIDEN, 1922

May 25, 1923

Chinese Students Take Part
in Football, Track, Tennis,
Basketball, and Soccer.

"ATHLETICS FOR ALL" THE RULE.

Every Man in University Must Attend
Morning Exercise and Afternoon
Games Daily—Class Championships
Stimulate Competition.

John M. Speiden, 1922, who is now
serving as Athletic Director of Yali, has
written the following exposition of the
sport situation there. He discusses track,
football, basketball, tennis and soccer;
American games in which the Chinese
have begun to show great interest.

"Athletics for all" is the plan on which
Yali athletics are based; an attempt be-
ing made to develop each student and
to create a love for sport by required
daily morning exercise and afternoon
games, and by interclass competition.

The Yali football and basketball teams
are scheduled to meet those from Boone
University for the next three years. This
rivalry will be the Chinese counterpart
of the Yale-Harvard tradition here.

"Athletics for all," says Mr. Speiden,
"is the policy pursued at Yali. The physi-
cal welfare of the student body as a
whole is the first consideration. The pur-
pose is not merely physical development
per se, but the inculcation in every stu-
dent of a real love of sport to be re-
tained throughout life. With the small
group of athletes such as exists in any
institution, this is already accomplished,
and nothing more need be done than pro-
vide the necessary facilities; with the
bulk of the student body, however, it is
a different matter.

"The problem is met in two ways: morning exercises and afternoon games. Every morning of the year, before breakfast in the warm weather, and at eleven-thirty in the cool, the undergraduates assemble on the athletic field, and, led by the Athletic Director or one of their own number, go through a ten-minute period of calisthenic drill.

"In the afternoons during the first term a rotary system of squad games is employed. Squads of about ten men each are formed, which engage in the various sports in turn. Soccer, basketball, track, volleyball and tennis are played. It is arranged so that each squad participates in games at least two afternoons a week. In the second term an interclass handicap tournament in basketball, football and volleyball is held. Each class plays every other class once or twice according to the amount of time available, in each sport. As no student may be a member of more than two teams, participation in competitive sport is made possible for a large number who under ordinary circumstances could not compete.

"Those having exceptional ability in a

sport are more or less exempted from
this general program. They compose the
various varsity and second teams and
practice at least three times a week.
Games, chiefly with institutions in the
vicinity of Changsha, are arranged. As
the years pass by and financial and other
difficulties are gradually overcome, the
schedules are becoming more and more
complete. This year the football team
made a trip to Liling, a six-hours' train
journey from Changsha, besides playing
several games here; the track team en-
tered the All-Hunan track meet held in
Changsha; and both the basketball and
volleyball teams have played a number
of games. Needless to say, all have ac-
quitted themselves well,—the football,
basketball and track teams being unde-
feated so far.

"It has long been the wish to have definite relations with some large institution worthy to be the rival of Yali, and thus to establish an athletic tradition which would be in China what the Yale-Harvard tradition is in the United States. This year a combination of favorable circumstances has made it possible for a three-year contract to be signed with Boone University. Hankow, an old and tried institution and the logical rival of Yali. The contract is a home-and-home arrangement covering football and basketball, and is regarded by both as a mere start towards the ultimate goal, which will be reached when it is extended to cover all sports.

"One is apt to wonder, when thinking of the Chinese and athletics at the same time, whether or not the two can be reconciled; whether or not it is possible for them, with their race experience and all the traditions of the student class so diametrically opposed to the idea of the vigorous life, to show the same *élan* and love of the game for the game's sake that the western student does. Space does not permit a discussion of this moot subject, but this much at least can be said: a week's residence at Yali would make the most un-Phelpsian observer feel enthusiastic and would prove rather a shock to him if he came with any preconceived notions about the "placid Oriental." He would see an entirely different state of affairs than that which existed not so many years ago, when a student, seeing several members of the Faculty playing tennis, inquired why they didn't hire coolies to do that work for them. Realizing the difficulty of avoiding a distorted perspective from a too close-up view of the picture, he would conclude that here are to be found the same number who have a genuine liking for the rigors of sport as at home."

Dr. Hume's China Picture

Editor of the Forum:

Sir:

If you could have seen the 570 school boys I saw at the Kuangya school this morning in Changsha. gathered in a building somewhat dark and rambling to be sure, but lighted up and made fragrant by wonderful masses of chrysanthemums, and, had realized as I did that this school was a vigorous child of Yale in China, managed and taught by 39 Yali graduates and undergraduates, you would not wonder that I write you about it in this Christmas note, as a vivid illustration of Yali's service to the Community.

This evening I have just met with some of the nurses in our hospital, in a room dominated by the portrait of Florence Nightingale. Her inspiration is going through our American nursing teachers into a group of 50 young men and women getting ready to serve China through this profession of service.

May I just tell you of these two scenes at the younger Yale, as my Christmas greeting, so that you may see how alive we are at Changsha?

EDWARD H. HUME

Changsha, China, Nov. 17,

Constructive Forces Such as Yali Will Triumph
Over Present Chaos in China, Says Dr. E. H. Hume

Dr. E. H. Hume, '97, President of Yale-
in-China, has just returned from a three-
months' trip to China. While in China he
had the privilege of travelling in nine of her
strongest eighteen provinces. As a result he
is able to discuss the political and economic
problems of that country from first hand
knowledge.

Speaking with a NEWS representative yes-
terday, Dr. Hume said, "There is political
disorder in almost every province. Corrup-
tion of officials and banditry along the vari-
ous borders are common things. Everywhere
plans for better roads and industrial needs
are delayed by government red tape. Eco-
nomically China is in a terrible condition."

When Dr. Hume mentioned these facts to
China's greatest scholar in Peking, the lat-
ter replied, "Don't try to gloss the facts.
They are far worse than you describe them.
When I look at such a situation as now
faces the Chinese people I am eleven-

twelfths discouraged. The destructive forces
are at odds, however, and will eventually
destroy each other. On the other hand, the
constructive forces are progressing so stead-
ily and in such unity that I have nothing but
hope as I look ahead. For intance, in 1912,
only one and a half million children were
attending school. To-day, in spite of the poli-

"Unity is the end which all far-seeing men are working for. There is only one educational association and only one association of Bankers made up of men from North and South. The same unity exists among the silk growers and other agriculturists. These forces are building for a bright future."

Banditry Good for
China, Says Head of
American College

Militant Protest Against Of-
ficial Acts Serves as Ex-
ercise of Franchise for
Many, Yale Alumni Hear

Banditry in China may result in good for the Chinese, Dr. Edward Hicks Hume, president of the American College at Changsha, China, told the Society of Yale-in-China at a dinner given last night at the Hotel Commodore. He said that the resort to banditry "serves for a large portion of the population as an exercise of the franchise."

"For instance," said Dr. Hume, "unpaid bandits ravish a certain district. By this means they register their protest with the local officials. This sort of 'vote' brings action from the central government at Peking, so that it results eventually in reform."

The society, supported by alumni of
Yale University, has established col-
leges at Changsha, 1,000 miles up the
Yangtze River. Dr. Hume said its edu-
cational influence was being felt
throughout China, for in 1912 only
1,500,000 children were in schools in
China, while ten years later there were
7,000,000. He predicted that the latter
number would be doubled in ten years.

Dr. Alfred Sze, Chinese Minister at Washington, said China felt grateful to Yale because the university was one of the first to introduce Western education in his country and thus help build, "the first republic established in Asia."

Amos Park Wilder, formerly Consul
General to China, showed motion pic-
tures of the work done by Yale alumni
in China. Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes,
president of the Yale Foreign Mission-
ary Society, reported that funds were
being supplied to extend the univer-
sitv's work.

Constructive Forces Will Triumph
Over Chaos in China, Says Hume.

comes the education of the West which has
come to help her out of the chaos into which
she has fallen, and to aid her in building
up a modern civilization.

"At various points are splendid American
colleges. Yali is the only one, however, con-
ducted by graduates of an American insti-
tution. These men have poured, year by year,
into China something of the American de-
termination and civilization.

"Yali is a bridge between the two nations
—American teachers go to share the devel-
opment of the West, while from China come
students to seek opportunities and to inter-
pret for us the attitude and contributions of
that great Eastern nation. Yale men do well
to understand this outpost they have built
and to strengthen it as a means of linking
to-gether the two greatest nations bordering
the Pacific.

Yali now has 500 students reaching from
high school to the University degrees. Its
hospital is endeavoring to relieve the preva-
lent suffering and in the end to gain the
confidence of a more conservative group
of the population. The spirit of Yali is
clearly shown in the lanching of schools by
its own students and graduates. At the cam-
pus gates is a little school for the urchins
of the neighborhood. In the city are two
high schools with a total enrollment of 700,
taught by Yali men who have in turn re-
ceived their start from Yale graduates.
Yali's name and service is ever becoming
an intellectual force working to establish
the unification and peace of China."

An Apprenticeship in the Orient.

ACH year there is opportunity for fresh graduates of the colleges to go to China for one, two or three years' teaching or other work in one of the educational institutions in that country that must replace their faculties and increase them. This is also true of other countries, the mission centers of Turkey and the Philippines especially having accorded opportunities of this sort. Yale in China has in the past fifteen years given some fifty men an inside view of the Orient, later to return to do their life work in America, enriched by the maturing knowledge attained by first hand observation of these countless hordes so different from ourselves.

The trustees of this institution have been in session in New Haven during the past few days conferring as to its affairs. With a student body of five hundred Chinese youths taking a course that corresponds to high school training and college in this country plus preparation by fifty of these to be physicians, the result is

THE DENVER POST F

CHINA TO BE SAVED BY EDUCATION,
DECLARES VETERAN IN YALE'S
EXTENSION WORK IN THE ORIENT

Dr. E. H. Hume, Visitor in Denver, Tells of Schools Established in Far East and of Progress Being Made by Inhabitants.

(By FRANCES WAYNE.)

When Doctor E. H. Hume leaves Denver the people privileged to meet and listen to him will have a broader knowledge and deeper sympathy with China, the problems of China and the people of China than they have had before.

As one of the faculty of Yale in China, Dr. Hume, who is a guest of Berrien Hughes during his visit to Denver, speaks with knowledge of the changes going on in that drowsy monster of the far east.

"Politically, the outlook is black," Dr. Hume said. "But balancing the darkness is light—light which has its source in a great educational movement into which the youth of China is sweeping. Twelve years ago the school population of China was one and a half million; today there are seven million students registered, with

said. "For centuries China was an empire, so-called at least, but as a matter of fact local communities governed themselves. Now China is a republic with an idea that to be a republic actually there must be centralized government.

"Centralized government is an easier matter to talk about than to achieve, because this and that chief and bandit and politician is holding on to the old idea. For ten, fifteen or maybe twenty years there will be fighting in which is not altogether bad, for

NEW YORK DINNER STARTS
DRIVE FOR YALE-IN-CHINA

Motion Pictures of Yali Were Shown in
Connection With a Short Lecture
Given by Hon. Amos P. Wilder.

The Yale-in-China dinner at the Commode Hotel last night, opened the drive in the Eastern States for a fund of $100,000. Dr. E. H. Hume, '97, President Angell, and Dr. S. K. Alfred Eze, the Chinese Minister, were the chief speakers. Honorable Amos P. Wilder gave an illustrated lecture with moving pictures taken at Yale.

This is the annual drive for funds to carry on the work of Yale men at Yale. With a total of $100,000 as a goal, New York has an amount of $30,000 to raise. This is the first dinner to be held. Smaller ones, however, will take place in various other cities throughout the East. This fund enables the men in charge of Yali to carry on the excellent work that they have been doing.

The present economic and political conditions in China are in a bad state. Banditry and political corruption is prevalent everywhere.

It is only through such institutions as Yali that these can be righted, according to Dr. Hume. The very roots of the Chinese nation based on superstition must be attacked and this can only be done by education. Graduates of Yali are one of the powers of good in that eastern nation. Many of them have left that little college to start schools somewhere else, doing for their countrymen what Yale men have done for them.

Yale's Work In China.

WITH increasing interest the returning alumni attend the meetings of Yale in China when the report of the activities of the institution are reviewed. It is eighteen years since teaching begun with a handful of men of the earnest Yale type behind the desk to a group of Chinese youths ambitious to be taught by Americans and to extend their knowledge to include what was being taught American boys. Yale began right by sending its best. When Hunan province realized what was going on, including the literati and officials—recognizing in these able, cultivated and practical men and gracious women persons to be reckoned with—the school speedily drew its pupils from the influential class, though the democracy of China being essentially like our own, all classes send their likely youth. The American institution not only taught a modern curriculum, the futile text-memorizing system going out at that time with the ancient examination halls, but of course taught it better than native schools could hope to do.

Yali became and is more than a school; it is a center of the best thought, attitudes and methods of Occidental civilization—socially, politically and ethically; and the influence of the Changsha movement on the Chinese millions is one of those marvels of the leaven principle that astound one accustomed to measure intellectual and spiritual processes by the irrelevant law of fiscal investment. It has been given the workers and supporters of Yali literally to influence the future development of a nation through contacts with officials and leaders and through hundreds of trained graduates fortunate enough to live on the campus for four and six years. The method has avoided the iconoclastic spirit; rather insistence is laid on building on native foundations, conserving the dignity, reverence, simplicity of the East and adding what of scholarship, science, constructive democracy and intelligent religion the West has to offer.

The names of Gage, Hume, Hail, Harvey must ever be held in grateful remembrance for their pioneer efforts, while at the New Haven end Arthur Williams, Profs. Beach, F. W. Williams, Stokes, Reed, the late Williston Walker, Samuel Thorne, Kelsey, Harkness and a host of other Yale men and families have loyally cherished the project until now the American people think of Yale in terms of two hemispheres. Dr. Angell, who knew China as a boy, has not failed to see the work in its mighty aspects.

This summer five members of the graduating class at New Haven sail for China to take places in the faculty of Yali. Thus the undergraduate life of both campuses is merged. The medical school numbers forty-five students. The college department, which grants degrees and whose students pass to equal grade in the New Haven Yale, numbers nearly two hundred. In all there is at last a student body of over five hundred. Surely Yale's contribution to the problem of the Far East is not a small one.

He has won the loyal support of the student body and the respect of the Faculty, and it is to be hoped that when his

present assignment of duty is completed the War Department will again detail him to the post which he has so ably filled at Yale.

## Our Undergraduate Contributors

ONE of the most readable features of the ALUMNI WEEKLY, so many of our readers tell us, is the "close-up" picture of undergraduate life which is reflected each week in our Campus and athletic departments. It is to their own days in dormitory, Field, and Campus, that the alumni hark back when they think of the Yale they knew, and the purpose of these pages is to give them some idea of the life that is still lived there by the student body, as reflected through the eyes of its contemporaries. Both departments have become established features of the ALUMNI WEEKLY, the Campus page a development over several years from a chronicle of events to a brief essay on the important happenings of the week as they appear to an observer, the athletic pages necessarily more prosaic but still with the personal touch of the onlooker at the games, the meets, the races. These will be continued next year, of course. Meanwhile, as the end of the present volume approaches, our readers will doubtless be glad to meet, on another page, the two Seniors, graduating next week, whose contributions they have read during the year—Russell Wheeler Davenport and George Campbell Becket.

## Chinese Honor for Dr. Hume

In September, 1921, were held the dedication ceremonies of the Peking Union Medical College, the great modern medical school and hospital erected in Peking through the generosity

of the Rockefeller Foundation and conducted by the China Medical Board of that Foundation. Dr. Edward H. Hume, '97, Dean of the Hunan-Yale College of Medicine, was invited to deliver one of the principal addresses on this occasion, the subject of his address being, "Medical Education in China—A Survey and Forecast." A special medal was struck off and sent to all the participants. Dr. Hume has recently received his, a cut of which is shown on this page.

The following is a literal translation of the letter accompanying the medal received by Dr. Hume. A cut of the letter appears in the adjacent column:

In the Ninth Month of the Tenth Year of the Republic of China, the Peking Union Medical College held its opening exercises. Men of international reputation came from far and wide to attend the occasion, and the President vacated his Chair to take personal part in welcoming the distinguished guests. It was indeed the most significant gathering of that time!

By the order of the President, I have the honor to present you a Jen Shou (Benevolence and Longevity) Memorial Medal, as a token of appreciation for your participation in the occasion. Please accept it.

May favoring peace daily attend you,

Your obedient servant,

WANG KAI WEI
Master of Ceremony in the President's Office.

DAILY NEWS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER

SAFETY OF YALE-IN-CHINA
IS ASSURED BY CABLES

Successful Arrival of Yale Men Who Left
For China Last June is Announced—
Hunan Province is Peaceful.

Two cablegrams have been received re-
cently from Yali. One was from the five
Yale men who went over last summer to
teach and the other was from Dr. Edward
H. Hume, '97, president.

The first bore the news that W. Bing-
ham, M. H. Frost, D. K. Rose, D. S. San-
ford Jr., and C. L. Walker, all Yale gradu-
ates of the Class of 1924, have arrived safely
in Changsha. They passed through Shang-
hi, which is in the danger area created by
the civil war in China, on September 3 and
suffered no inconveniences on their trip.
Their work began with the opening of Yale-
in-China on September 15. The five men are
teaching English in the middle school which
is a preparatory school for the higher
branches of the University.

The second cablegram is more recent. It
is also from Changsha and was sent on Sept-
ember 16. In it Dr. Hume states that the
Hunan province in which Yali is located is
peaceful and that there is no cause for
alarm.

in number of students, but in influence and
prestige throughout China.

Before calling for the report of the Sec-
retary and Treasurer, Mr. Stokes read the
following resolution:

"VOTED that, in view of the fact that

Mr. Herbert H. Vreeland, Jr., '12S., Secretary and Treasurer of this society for the past three years, is resigning his position to enter the field of education, we desire to place upon our records our hearty appreciation of his devoted and successful work for Yale in China, our satisfaction that he will continue to further the interests of our society as a member of the board of trustees, and our heartiest wishes for success in his undertaking."

Mr. Vreeland made his financial report,
showing receipts to date of approximately
$83,000.00 as compared with $53,000.00 an-
nounced at the annual meeting in 1923, and
$43,000.00 in 1922. The total number of con-
tributors to date is 2,113, of whom over 1,-
100 are new. Additions to the endowment
of the society of $10,000 were announced as
having been received during the fiscal year,
making the total endowment $12,500.

Mr. Vreeland then announced the elec-
tion of the following officers to serve for
the ensuing year:

President, Anson Phelps Stokes, '96; Vice
President, M. S. Tsao, 1911; Secretary-
Treasurer, Palmer Bevis, 1918; Auditor,
Dean B. Lyman, '94; and the following mem-
bers to serve on the Board of Trustees until
June 30, 1927: Rev. S. C. Bushnell, '74;
Ledyard Cogswell, Jr., '99; Robert H. Cory,
1902; Professor Kenneth S. Latourette,
1906; Frederick H. Wiggin, 1904; and
Amos P. Wilder, '84. The following mem-
bers of the Council were chosen to serve
until June 30, 1928: Stuart H. Clement,
1917; Robert C. Deming, 1911; Richard C.
Morse, '62; George Van Santvoord, 1912;
Lewis S. Welch, '89, and the following to
fill vacancies in the Class of 1923-27: Henry
W. Farnam, '74; Ellery S. James, 1917;
Albert W. Olsen, 1917. On motion, which
was duly seconded, the above members were
elected for the terms indicated.

Over Fifty Colleges Send Delegates to Induction—Yali is Example of Co-operation of East And West in Education.

Dr. Edward Hicks Hume, '97 M.D., LL.D., was inducted as President of the Colleges of Yale-in-China at Shangsha last Friday. Professor Henry W. Farnam, '74, designated by the Yale Corporation to attend the induction as personal representative of the Corporation, made the trip to China for this purpose. Delegates from over fifty colleges were present.

Professor Farnam presented Dr. Hume with a document of greeting from Yale to her sister college, Yali. It read as follows:

"The President, Fellows, and Faculty of Yale University take great pleasure in accepting the invitation of the Trustees and Faculty of Yale-in-China to be represented at the inauguration of Edward Hicks Hume, as President of the Colleges on October first, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four.

"Yale is especially glad of this opportunity to congratulate Yale-in-China on its splendid record of service, and to extend best wishes for its success in the future under the administration of its first President Edward Hicks Hume, B.A., Yale, 1897, M.A. (honorary) 1912, because she looks upon Yale-in-China as her representative in another field of work.

"Founded in 1903 by the Yale Mission, composed by a group of Yale Alumni, as a collegiate school, Yale-in-China now consists of the College of Yale in China, Hunan—Yale College of Medicine and Hospital, and the Hunan Yale College of Nursing. In the twenty years of its history, Yale men havet been directly responsible for this development, either through epersonal service as administrators and members of the faculty, or through contributions which have made development possible.

Under his leadership new and greater things are to be expected of Yale-in-China.

"In recognition of the many ties that bind Yale University and Yale-in-China, the officers of the University are proud to delegate Henry Walcott Farnam, B.A. Yale, 1874, M.A., 1876, LL.D., 1923, to convey the best wishes to Yale-in-China and its President."

Yale Budget to Launch

on the basis of their personal resources, even though it did mean the abandonment of some extravagant pleasure. As a second point, you are asked to remember the fact that the amount you intend to give need not be presented at once or in a lump sum. You can arrange to pay so much each week or at any other periods most convenient for your particular circumstances.

The drive will be conducted simultaneously in all departments of the University. Under T. McCance will be D. D. Stevenson, 1925, Chairman for Yale College; C. A. Ault, 1925S, Chairman for Sheffield Scientific School; and C. F. Stoddard Jr., 1926, Chairman for Freshmen. Class Committees and Class Captains will be chosen and announced in the near future.

Each charity is to publish an article in the News next week, explaining its various needs and activities.

YALE BUDGET TO LAUNCH
ITS ANNUAL CAMPAIGN

Collection of Funds is Again
Under Direction of Ac. and
Sheff. Student Councils.

DRIVE TO BE STARTED OCT. 28.

Combined Appeal for all Charities Makes
It Possible for Students to Give More
Efficiently and Eliminates Annoyance of
Frequent Solicitations.

Tuesday, October 28, is the date set for the drive for the Yale University Budget which will include all the causes to which the members of the University will be called upon to contribute this year. Following the custom of the past two years this one drive will combine all the charities which the University supports and will eliminate separate and individual campaigns by each of several organizations. This not only obviates the annoyance of frequent appeals but enables the contributor to see what is expected of him so that he is able to give more efficiently and more wisely. This campaign is under the direct supervision of the College and Scientific School Student Councils, which have appointed T. McCance, 1925, chairman of the committee.

The causes represented on the Budget are the same as last year and the total amount desired is the same but the distribution among the different charities is changed slightly. The Yale Hope Mission is to figure as a special item this year, receiving a flat sum of $2,000, instead of being incorporated in the allotment made to the Y. M. C. A., which is being cut to meet the circumstances from $8,500 to $6,000. The fund established for Yale In China has been increased from $5,000 to an annual donation of $6,000. The Student Relief will be reduced in their allowance from $5,000 to $4,000, and the New Haven Community Chest Fund is being raised from $3,500 to $4,000. As usual, there will be a 50c fee collected from each man who cares to give, which is to be used in defraying the expenses of the Student Council, and another fee of 50c is to be collected in benefit of the Whiting Recitals.

When contemplating the amounts that they feel they want to give, members of the University are asked to bear a few facts in mind. First, this is to be the only assessment for this year; what you give now must represent the amount of money that you can honestly contribute toward financing a group of benevolent institutions.

After a careful consideration of the resources of the members of the University and the amounts that have been raised in former years $25 has been set as the amount which may reasonably be expected from the average student. In previous years, men have always responded to this request in a very admirable fashion, giving to the limit

YALE IN CHINA WILL GET
$6,000 IN ANNUAL BUDGET

Quota Will be Used to Support
University Seniors Who go
To Changsha Every Year.

TRANSPORTATION CHIEF ITEM.

Funds Will be Used to Finance Trip of
"Bachelors" to Yali and to Pay Them
A Small Salary While Active in the
Many Duties of Teaching.

(The following article on the use of money raised in the Community Chest Fund for Yale-in-China was written for the NEWS by Professor B. C. Nangle. Yale-in-China is asking for $6,000, from the budget to pay the expenses of the members of the Senior Class who go to China each year as "Bachelors." This money goes principally to pay the travelling expenses of the men, who receive only a small salary.)

Now that the spring of each year brings to a more or less interested senior class the news that certain of its members are embarking on the adventure of teaching a year or two at Yale-in-China, the status of the Yale Bachelors seems fairly well defined. In the early days of the college at Changsha, the Bachelors were individuals who came out at irregular intervals to teach for a short time. They were not a phenomenon whose reappearance could be predicted from one year to the next, and the problem of financing their trip was usually in the hands of a small group of interested alumni. Since 1911, however, no year has failed to bring its crop of Bachelors, and with growing undergraduate interest in the younger Yale, the trustees have come to trust wholly for their support on contributions from the undergraduate body. To Yale-in-China, therefore, the campaign of the Yale Budget during the coming week means a campaign to finance the sending to Changsha of members of the present Senior class as short-term teachers. It is somewhat expensiv to transport the Bachelors to the interior of China, and they have need of a modest salary for living expenses while they are there; it is for these two purposes that Yale-in-China seeks its quota of six thousand dollars in the present drive.

This being true, the career or the Bache-
lor takes on new interest to the undergrad-
uate; we all like to know how our money
is being spent. What does a Bachelor do in
Changsha? Primarily, of course, he is a
teacher, and one of his earliest experiences
is an interview in which he is given his
schedule and a few words of kindly advice.
Armed with these, he begins his teaching
career.

The schedule usually contains eighteen or twenty hours of classroom work a week—a statement which loses many of its more formidable aspects when it is explained that the Bachelors are given, in general, the elementary courses of their special subjects in the college, and then assigned their share of the English or Hygiene or "background courses" in the middle (or preparatory) school. Here the boys speak English less fluently than in the college, and a course in

(Continued on page 4)

Yale in China Will Get
$6,000 in Annual Budget.

(Continued from page 1)

the first two years, with boys ranging down
to twelve years old, resolves itself into an
affair calling for ingenious devices in the
classroom rather than intensive preparation
outside. Besides this, each Bachelor super-
vises evening study about once a month, and
is subjected to questionings from the stu-
dents on every conceivable branch of knowl-
edge. This, with attendance at faculty meet-
ings and an occasional leading of chapel,
constitutes his actual teaching work.

Beyond this, however, the college and the
students look to the Bachelors for leader-
ship in extra-curriculum activities. To one
man, whose teaching schedule is naturally
lighter, is entrusted direction of athletics.
His colleagues assist him, when needed, in
leading the compulsory daily calisthenics or
in refereeing the compulsory sports which
occupy certain of the hours in the after-
noon. They also coach the soccer, basketball,
and other athletic terms, and accompany
them on trips to out-of-town games.

One Bachelor directs the Glee Club; an-
other acts as one of the faculty advisers to
the Y. M. C. A.; another acts as judge of
the debates in which the students delight in
participating. In other words, the Bachelors,
by virtue of their youth and their freedom
from time-consuming administrative work,
inevitably come into close personal contact
with the members of the student body.

Such, in the briefest outline, is the life
to which the prospective Bachelor goes out
from New Haven. There are many stimula-
ting contacts with the life of a foreign peo-
ple, there is much of experience and of
pleasure to be gained throughout the year.
And in the end, I think that the Bachelor
has done good to the college, to the students,
and to society at large. His teaching re-
lieves the older men of a burden of work
which they could not possibly bear; and his
contact with the students gives them a clear-
er understanding of the Western culture
which they are striving to utilize for the
service of their fellows. He fills a need in
the life of Yale-in-China which no other
person could fill; and Yale-in-China occu-
pies, I think an almost uniquely worthwhile
place in the present educational world of
China.

The "bachelor's" life at Ya-li is not all work. One of the 1922 bachelors junketing on the Yangtze River.

One of the Ya-li "bachelors" spends the Chinese New Year vacation sightseeing in the Valley of the Ming Tombs.

Ya-li graduates are working toward the solution of China's educational problems by starting primary schools in Chansha and elsewhere. Yale-in-China has its place in the quota of the Yale Budget, the drive for which is being started this Tuesday, the 28th. J. McCance, 1925, is the Chairman of the Budget. By combining all the various drives into one, the Budget aims to simplify the whole question of subscriptions of this sort.

PROF. LATOURETTE SPEAKS
ON REVOLUTIONS IN CHINA

Profound Changes Taking Place in Social,
Intellectual, and Political Life of that
Great War-swept Republic.

At the last meeting of the Yale Liberal
Club, Professor K. S. Latourette of the
Divinity School gave an address on the
subject of the present conditions in China
and the significance of the civil war.

"China to-day," said Professor Latourette "presents a revolutionary spectacle. There is no better illustration of the great social upheaval that is taking place than the Chinese student. The intellectual movement which is sweeping over China is causing an attack on all long standing and outworn traditions that have been held sacred for centuries. Chinese society is now suffering an almost complete re-organization and the elders of the family are being stripped of their power by the rising younger generation. The son now insists, for instance, on choosing his wife himself, instead of letting this be a matter for the families to decide. A new era of individualism is being inaugurated in which the spirit of independence and self-assertion is in the ascending over

the old paternalistic attitude embodied in
ancestor worship.

This questioning attitude is manifested
in the literature of China. Whereas former-
ly the classics were the only accepted read-
ing matter, new books are being introduced
and new science and learning is steadily
gaining a foothold. Many books have been
translated recently from Various Occidental
languages into Chinese.

"The political side of the revolution is of course the most violent. China's political history has been of a succession of dynasties in control of the government until decay resulted in a change. The last one of these, the Manchu dynasty, came into power in 1644, and its last great figure was the Dowager Empress, who kept it from going to pieces until her death in 1908. I n 1911 a republic was inaugurated and there will probably be a lapse of at least fifty or a hundred years before it will establish itself up on a firm basis.

"At present the nation is rent by fac-
tional civil war. The chief figures in the
recent fighting have been Wu Pei Fu and
General Chang. Trouble began when Lu,
a subordinate of Wu, tried to get control
but of General Chi. The situation has been
complicated by the powerful figure of Gen-
eral Fung, formerly a confederate of Wu.
He has now however renounced his alleg-
iance and placed Wu in a very disadvantage-
ous position at Pekin. Fung is a converted
Christian and I think he is sincere in his
statement that he desires to have the best
minds of the country help in the great task
of bringing about an orderly government.
Of his personal sincerity at least there can
be no doubt.

"The great problem now" said Professor
Latourette in conclusion, "is whether there
will be found enough creative ability in
China to establish a settled government."

Yale-in-China.

Yale-in-China is an institution containing
a Preparatory Department, a College of Arts
and Sciences, a Medical School and Hospi-
tal and a School of Nursing with a western-
trained faculty of fifty-four and a student
body of five hundred. The total budget for
the year ending June 30, 1924, was in ex-
cess of $200,000. Yale-in-China is to-day
recognized as one of the great colleges of
China and should justly be a source of pride
to all Yale men.

The unusual success which the College of
Yale-in-China has achieved has in no small
degree been due to the share which Yale
undergraduates have had in its development.
The most important contribution made by

# "Chinese Student Excels American as Bluffer" Is the Observation Made by Yali "Bachelors"

(The following is the last half of the second of a series of letters written to the NEWS by Woodbridge Bingham, 1924, newly appointed member of the teaching staff of Yale-in-China. It is intended primarily to bring the environment and work at Changsha before those Seniors and others who are intending to go out to Yali in the future. This part of the letter deals with the duties of the Yale "bachelors" as teachers at Yali.)

Most of the teaching done by the "bachelors" here consists in English courses, ranging all the way from elementary work with boys of twelve and thirteen who have had only a little English at primary school to a History of English Literature for Seniors in the college. Some English instruction is also being given to men in the Medical School. Other courses given by the new men this year include German, Psychology, History, Economics, and Bible courses. Most of these were assigned according to what the "bachelors" themselves had specialized in at college.

On meeting his class each day the instruc-

tor bows and the class bows in return. Then a ten-minute paper may be given or the teacher may proceed at once with the work of recitation or lecturing. The working out of these details is left entirely in the hands of the individual instructor. Books, however, are usually ass gned. Many of these are identical with those used in schools and colleges at home. The pupils also are similar. Some are bright and some are dumb! No American prep. school or college boy ever evaded a question more skillfully, or thought up better excuses for taking a 'cut.' And they occasionally complain about the length of an assignment in a manner wh ch is not entirely unknown in American schools. But considering that nearly all the instruction is in a foreign laguage ad that textbooks intended for American students are those from which most of their knowledge is obta ned, it is surprising how much the boys do grasp of the new ideas and what a good standard of scholarship is maintained.

And the girls as well,—for Yali is now

trying out co-education and has some twelve girls enrolled as students in the college besides one in the Medical School. They study as intelligently and write papers every bit as clear as those of the men. Besides which they provide the additional problem of teaching a mixed class, something not often faced by instructors in our Eastern colleges in America.

The "bachelor" coming to teach at Yali realizes perhaps for the first time that the life of a teacher does not consist wholly in preparing interesting lectures. Getting out daily assignments which one cannot "bluff through" as one could as a student, correct-

ing scores of papers, making out examinations, to say nothing of marking them, are a few of the duties which make up the routine life. More interesting to some are the athletics which have to be supervised. At present a professional Chinese Physical Instructor is in charge, but there are teams for the "bachelors" to coach in basketball, tennis, track, and soccer.

There are also act vities which are carried on at a Foreign Mission School which are not so usual at a school or college at home. Attendance at daily chapel is expected and every "bachelor" leads the service himself on an average of once a month with an occasional talk on some religious subject. Then we have also discussion groups and other informal meetings with the students which can be arranged to suit the desires of the individual faculty members.

The "bachelors' are unusually fortunate in this respect, as we are of the same age as the older students and can therefore get to know them better than the rest of the faculty. Besides athletics, classes, and discussion groups as means of contracts the "bachelors" occasionally get to know the students better through entertaining them informally at the Y. B. M., "Yale Bachelors' Mess." And then in turn have sometimes invited us to their homes or to a play at a Chinese Theatre.

These meetings with the students outside of classes, as well as within are important in any educational institution but especially so in colleges taught by foreign instructors where the teachers are trying to bring to their pupils not only knowledge of literature and science but new religious principles and ways of living entirely different from their own civilization. Thus the new instructor at Yali has impressed upon him even more than at home that a teacher's life does not have the restricted and interests and definite hours of one who takes up business for his occupation. When he leaves

the recitation building after his last class, the day's work is only partially done and in fact the merit of his work with an organization like Yale-in-China depends upon his being "on the job" every minute of the time during his stay at the institution.

To one who is just coming to Yali or anyone who has not seen China before it may seem perfectly reasonable that the buildings and life of Yale-in-China should have as Western an appearance as those of an American college anywhere. And it is often not until the day of one's arrival at Changsha that the striking difference becomes apparent between the completely Oriental life of this central China city and the very Western aspect of the colleges at its border.

The newcomer who has admired from a distance the picturesque life along the shores of the Yangtse and Siang Rivers as he re-clined on the deck of a comfortable river steamer and has motored through the broad clean streets of the Foreign Settlements at Shanghai and Hankow has some new sensa-tions waiting for him when he steps off the boat at Changsha. He has ridden in rick-shaws probably and enjoyed the novel ex-perience similar to that of being hauled around the streets in a smooth running easy-chair. But as he leaves the water's edge here and hires a rickshaw to go up to the colleges he may notice that the springs are poor, and as he takes his ride through the streets of the capital of Huan his attention is bound to turn immediately to the pave-ment. It is of stone, not small cobbles, but great buocks of granite from two to five feet long and as his rickshaw coolie drags him along it feels more like driving over a rocky Connecticut pasture in an ox-cart than travelling in the most modern passenger vehicle of this city of 300,000 people.

Peking, Dec. 26.—Students of Yale college at Changsha, who struck against the American faculty because it enforced Bible study, have appealed to the provincial assembly and the Hunan educational board for transfer to Southeastern university at Nanking.

The students have the backing of
the anti-imperialistic associaiton
and are forming an organization for
recovering educational rights in

This is said to have soviet influ-
ence and is part of a nation-wide

to the Bolshevik movement in
China and to mischief stirred up by

Yali Students Loving Their Country.

DR. EDWARD H. HUME, recently inaugurated president of the "Yali" institution at Changsha operated by Yale-in-China, with which he has been connected since 1906, has a problem on his hands at the outset, but he will prove equal to it, as to all others. A considerable group of the students is engaging in a "strike" after the native fashion. A favorite protest of China's students is against Japan's policies or to sympathize with some trade boycott, or because they disapprove of a teacher. This time they are making a demonstration against the "foreign devil's" religion. It is not because they are not interested in it or disapprove it, for there is now a strong native Christian church in their country and the student class is sharing largely in the promotion of the faith, although they are insisting on interpreting it for themselves, which is admirable, the Orient having given it to the world. However, race consciousness is sensitive at this time and all things that are brought by others—radiators, thermos bottles, text books, religion—are, as a mark of patriotism, rather contemptuously viewed. It is not that the Chinese will not use steam heat and the bottles, nor do they put missionaries to death as formerly, but it gives vent to love of country to express impatience that China must be indebted to anybody. It is all rather puerile but the virtues of the Chinese are not of the robust kind.

The college has been of immeasurable
service to mid-China as the people admit.
They have cordially co-operated in financing
it, as they do in staffing it.

Dr. Hume and his associates are all tact and
kindness, and fortunately rich in firmness.
The terror of five hundred boys to which often
a native institution yields is not in the
Americans, who will hold their ground as be-
fores. Each student on entering understands
that it is a Christian institution and there is
some writing to the effect that the pupil comes
in with that knowledge. The threat to "go
elsewhere" is rather amusing; there are but
four or five other colleges in all the country
where such instruction is afforded, two de-
grees at least being the qualification of the
permanent teachers. The significant thing is
that without the drive of the Book, resistance
to which the boys are using as their latest
slogan, there would be no modern education,
no medicine of scientific standards in China.
No one has been willing to carry these mes-
sages as a mere cultural impulse. It was so in
Japan, it was so in China.

As a Confucian movement, the strike "won't
do." No one honors the sage so sincerely as
these American scholars who go to China—
it is a constant effort to keep the flaming
native youth up to their classical studies, so
eager they for science and western learning.
The boys in resenting any religion forsake
Confucian counsel to "the open mind."

This is in that the matriculate class, which consists of about one-fifth of the matriculates, has not yet begun its studies in the past dozen years. It appears highly probable that the unrest, which has for the moment swept the undergraduates into common action, results from a flare-up by an old group called the Anti-Imperialists which has lately been crying for "State Rights", or provincial independence of Peking. Students everywhere in China take politics seriously and become live firebrands in propagating radical ideas when they are fresh; when time is given to think things over they are apt to listen to reason and go back to school, leaving the execution of new conceptions to professional agitators.

## Irreligious Basis

"Two elements are in evidence all over the country. One of them is Bolshevism with its strong irreligious basis, which instigates for the moment a fierce antagonism against

every kind of religious teaching. The other is the presence of great numbers of partially trained Chinese

who on returning from Japan find themselves outclassed by Western educated teachers in competing for places in schools of modern types. The play upon the prevailing

opposition to European influences and incite students to combat foreign institutions. The study of the Bible in Ya-li is conducted upon the same basis as the study of the Confucian classics; it is necessary to an understanding of the foundation of, Western civilization; no dogma is imparted and no pressure is exercised to make Christian converts. The fact that the College is frankly Christian has thus far in its history greatly appealed to the better elements in the community because of its practical application to moral living, in playing the game and in character building. There is no reason to suppose that this attitude will undergo much change among sensible men when this little wave of agitation has passed."

BOLSHEVIST DOCTRINES
MAKE TROUBLE AT YALI

Russian Teachings Have Made
Chinese Students Active in
Revolutionary Fields.

NATIONALISTIC SPIRIT STRONG.

Anti-Imperial Society Has Been Formed to
Resist Capitalist Nations of England,
America and Japan—Extreme Group
Fights Christian Education.

(In the following article, Professor Williams summarizes the facts, contained in Dr. Hume's most recent letters, concerning the Student Strike at Changsha.)

Reports from the President of Yale in
China give information about the student
strike in the College at Changsha. The back-
ground of the disturbance there which re-
sulted in 189 students leaving the school
and college appears to involve the follow-
ing factors prevailing over a great part of
China. First among these are the doctrines
of Bolshevism which have been fermenting
among young students throughout the re-
public during the last three or four years.
Through these teachings they have acquired
the old Russian conception of the assumed
responsibility of university students for the
political welfare of their country. Chinese
students are, therefore, much more promi-
nent in propagating revolutionary doctrines
than in the Western world. A secondary re-
sult of this tendency in China is the wide-
spread spirit of nationalism at present
chiefly evident in its opposition to any for-
eign influence, moral, educational or politi-
cal. A so-called Anti-Imperial Society has
been formed within the last few years to
resist the inroads of England, America and
Japan, all supposed to be imperialistic as
representing capitalistic nations. Extreme
forms of socialistic and communistic bodies
with others exhibit special "isms" and more
extravagant phases of this radical and al-
most violent onset against Christianity, cap-
italism and foreign control. Last October a
further stimulus to chauvinism was given
at an annual meeting of the National Edu-
cational Association, which urged the Min-
istry of Education in Peking to forbid the
continuation of Christian education every-
where in China.

The student strike of December 12, in
Changsha, resulted from the expulsion of
a student for direct disobedience to the or-
ders of the Dean and for defiance when
called to account. On that date the striking
students fell into the arms of several fanati-
cal groups opposed to Christian education

and foreigners, groups who made it almost
impossible for the wiser heads among them
to retract and return to their studies. A
meeting with the parents and older friends
of these boys showed the teaching staff that
in spite of their sympathy with the mainte-
nance of discipline they were unable to coun-
teract the inflammatory influences which
held their sons unwilling to listen to reason.
Violent proclamations appeared upon the
house walls throughout the city, and the
Changsha newspapers joined in the radical
and anti-foreign propaganda. Happily, the
Governor of the province and most of the
city fathers kept their heads. A day or two
later the Director of Martial law issued a
proclamation of considerable significance.
He inveighed against the dangerous tenden-\cies of the rising feeling in the town to
breaking the law and creating disorders,
referring to the risk of repeating the vio-
lences of the Boxer outbreak of 1900. For
these reasons he declares that he will order
the punishment of all radical organizations
and followers of violence, "including stu-
dents and rascals. It is well known," he de-
clares, "that the radical labor organization
and communistic and bolshevik organiza-
tions are absolutely prohibited and are not
allowed to function in this city." Another
reason which is a matter of common knowl-
edge in Changsha reveals a prevailing jeal-
ousy at the success and progress of Yale
in China, its science equipment, campus and
scholarship that rather put the Chinese lo-
cal educational establishments to shame.

In a conference with the so-called fa-
thers of the city, after a serious but amica-
ble discussion, the administrative heads of
the Yale institution agreed "as a gesture
of relaxation of discipline" to commute the
sentence of expulsion in the case of the
dismissed student to his return to school un-
der discipline. It was distinctly a challenge
to American traditons of far play, honor
and school discipline, but the Chinese Deans
and the President were agreed that the seri-
ous political and social conditions in the
community demanded some definite proce-
duce of this sort on their part. Their action
produced almost immediate results and was
recognized not as being a compromise but
a constructive act deliberately chosen in or-
der to close the situation. The student did
not return to his work under the conditions
offered but about fifty of his striking com-
panions seem to have come back in small
groups, and, as no information has come
from Changsha since that time, it is quite
evident that the passion and antagonisms
revealed during the crisis have subsided. The
whole incident seems to be a characteristic
example of the tendencies of the most sen-
sible Chinese groups from time to time to
"spill over." From a background of Western
disciplinary method we are trained to stan-
dards which in China are considered too
severe. In consideration of this attitude of
the Chinese mind, action in face of the men-
ace that confronted them could not proper-
ly be postponed on account of mere theories
of consistency. Yale in China emerged in
possession of the field, with thoughtful citi-
zens supporting its authority and its future
disciplinary control assured rather than sac-
rificed.

CHANGSHA, CHINA, December 14.—"The students' is the only class in which all can read and, being young, they read with avidity but without judgment. They are thus subject to radical influences of communism, bolshevism, and anarchism. There is a strong anti-imperialistic movement abroad, fanned into flame on hearing rumors such as the young emperor's determination to make a dash for the throne, or when America and England are painted as capitalistic and essentially imperialistic.

"Secondly, the anti-Christian movement that broke out with violence in Canton last spring has just reached Changsha with considerable vigor. There is no doubt but that there are a good many in our student body who would like to do all they can to wreck Yali unless they can do away with its religious element. By many I do not mean a majority, but rather an inconsiderable number.

"Thirdly, the fact that our school is not yet registered with the government adds to the student restlessness because they are told that their diplomas here will not have weight in the educated world. Few mission schools up to the present have been able to get such registration, and we are now making efforts to have this done and with good hope of success. It is a difficult thing, however, for an institution that wishes to preserve its independent attitude in matters religious, to satisfy the Chinese authorities without surrendering its independence in religious matters.

Misunderstanding on Admission to M.A.C.
Hockey Game Made Clear—25 cents
Charged for General Skating.

H. F. Woodcock, general manager of the Yale Athletic Association has issued the following statement to make clear a situation which many Yale men did not understand, regarding admission to the hockey game between Yale and the Massachusetts Agricultural College at the Woodbridge rink Wednesday night.

"After announcing that admission to the hockey game would be free," Mr. Woodcock said, "several who went to the rink to see the game were somewhat surprised to find that they were obliged to pay twenty-five cents in order to cross the pond and see it. Because of the physical layout, it is necessary that every spectator pay a quarter, for every one going to the game has the privilege of general skating. The Athletic Association makes no charge to see the game, but the rink management must, of course, "charge a nominal sum for those who might use its pond for skating. All receipts went to the owner of the pond, the Athletic Association getting nothing. This was thought to be the most satisfactory way of handling the matter. The Athletic Association regrets that there was an apparent misunderstanding on the part of some of the undergraduates."

raged at the shouts of some of the spectators in behalf of the opposing team. Students here, it must be remembered, have not yet learned to be good losers, and our group were particularly exasperated because the other side was winning. In an effort to separate some of the boys in a scuffle, after repeated warnings to them to desist, one of our Chinese instructors, assuming very naturally the duties of a constable in keeping order, struck a Yali college undergraduate on the head. Of course the Yali student body were tremendously excited and for a day and a half the campus was seething, impromptu mass meetings demanded all sorts of punishments and the passions of the inflammable youngsters were unloosed. However, at morning chapel a week later the teacher made a beautiful men's apology earning from all thoughtful men present the comment. 'He is a real gentleman.' This apparently set matters right."

With these rather hectic scenes the crisis of early December appears almost to have subsided. From information received at the same time it would seem also that the student members of an association called the Student Union were disposed to revolt against their own president because he was too conservative to suit their tastes in dealing with the football incident, they were therefore charged by Dr. Hume that in their formal meeting the legislative committee of the Union must admit the presence of the faculty adviser, Mr. Tso Fu, and secondly that they must obey the Dean's notice as to posting defamatory notices about the college. The meeting was held, but without the advisor, and a day later a long proclamation was issued full of unkind things about the deposed president. The deans had to take formal notice of this kind of disobedience and after a second conference with the legislative committee, in which all but three admitted that they were in the wrong, the seal was taken from their organization and the Chairman and two others, after declaring that they would always have to disobey faculty injunctions if they clashed with Student Union wishes, were expelled. This was followed on December 12 by the kind of thing which Chinese schools have become more or less used to. Two hundred students came out on the campus and demanded the return of the expelled members. The demand was refused, and the strike was effected. "All the educational leaders in town are with us," adds President Hume, and the indications seemed to favor the end of the row before the next mail was sent from China.

CHANGSHA, CHINA, December 13.—"Life has been going on as steadily and as interesting as ever. We have read with interest accounts of football games at home and have had our own outside games (soccer here. We teach, correct papers, eat and sleep pretty regularly. But many other things break in to take up not only our spare time which we ought to be giving to preparing lectures. At Thanksgiving the school had no holiday, but we did. We had a noon-day fee at one of the married doctors' houses and in the evening we had some elaborate charade at the Humes'. Since then two events in particular have occurred which will show you that there is nothing monotonous about here.

THE YALE A

Student Unrest at Yale in China

In view of the recent newspaper publicity regarding a "strike" among the students at Yale in China, which might create undue apprehension in the minds of some that a serious crisis is being faced at Changsha, the following editorial, written by Dr. Amos P. Wilder, '84, and appearing in the New Haven Journal-Courier of December 27, is reproduced. The Yale in China office in New Haven has received no cable dispatches whatsoever regarding the situation, which leads them to believe that this "strike" is no more serious than others which have preceded it from time to time.

YALI STUDENTS LOVING THEIR COUNTRY

"Dr. Edward H. Hume, recently inaugurated president of the 'Yali' institution at Changsha operated by Yale in China, with which he has been connected since 1906, has a problem on his hands at the outset, but he will prove equal to it, as to all others. A considerable group of the students is engaging in a 'strike' after the native fashion. A favorite protest of China's students is against Japan's policies or to sympathize with some trade boycott, or because they disapprove of a teacher. This time they are making a demonstration against the 'foreign devil's' religion. It is not because they are not interested in it or disapprove it, for there is now a strong native Christian church in their country and the student class is sharing largely in the promotion of the faith, although they are insisting on interpreting it for themselves, which is admirable, the Orient having given it to the world. However, race consciousness is sensitive at this time and all things that are brought by others—radiators, thermos bottles, text books, religion—are, as a mark of patriotism, rather contemptuously viewed. It is not that the Chinese will not use steam heat and the bottles, nor do they put missionaries to death as formerly, but it gives vent to love of country to express impatience that China must be indebted to anybody. It is all rather puerile, but the virtues of the Chinese are not of the robust kind.

"The college has been of immeasurable service to mid-China, as the people admit. They have cordially cooperated in financing it, as they do in staffing it.

"Dr. Hume and his associates are all tact and kindness, and fortunately rich in firmness. The terror of five hundred boys to which often a native institution yields is not in the Americans, who will hold their ground as before. Each student on entering understands that it is a Christian institution and there is some writing to the effect that the pupil comes in with that knowledge. The threat to 'go elsewhere' is rather amusing; there are but four or five other colleges in all the country where such instruction is afforded, two degrees at least being the qualification of the permanent teachers. The significant thing is that without the drive of the Book, resistance to which the boys are using as their latest slogan, there would be no modern education, no medicine of scientific standards in China. No one has been willing to carry these messages as a mere cultural impulse. It was so in Japan, it was so in China.

"As a Confucian movement, the strike 'won't do.' No one honors the sage so sincerely as these American scholars who go to China—it is a constant effort to keep the flaming native youth up to their classical studies, so eager they are for science and western learning. The boys in resenting any religion forsake Confucian counsel to 'the open mind.'"

Yale-in-China.

The history of Yale-in-China is the story of a dramatic transformation. Missionaries of ten different denominations in the province of Hunan meeting at Changsha, on June 21, 1903, passed the following resolution: "Resolved, That the conference extend cordial invitation to the Yale University Mission to establish an educational center in Changsha. Changsha was and is a city of great strategic importance, an ancient center of Chinese learning and culture, in one of the most aristocratic and influential provinces in China. Brownell Gage, '98 arrived in China in March, 1904, to begin the work. Yale men realizing the grave responsibilities involved, had set their hands to a work the outcome of which no one could forsee.

Twenty-one years have passed since that date. On the Yali Campus are a Middle School, a Junior College, a Senior College, a hospital, a school for nurses, both men

and women and a Medical School. This result is the outgrowth of the idealism and the generosity of Yale men.

# The Yali Student Outbreak

## How the "Strike" Came About and what the Underlying Situation is in China Today

(Contributed)

LETTERS from Changsha dated December 14th give the office of Yale in China in New Haven the first information as to the strike of the students at Yali on December 12th. The strike involved a sudden and unexpected disturbance, and involved two hundred members of the Preparatory School and College, a majority of whom returned to the institution within the following week.

President Hume writes of two causes of the commotion: first the restlessness among students all over China. "They are the only class [he says] in which all can read, and being young, they read with avidity but without judgment. They are thus subject to radical influences of communism, bolshevism and anarχism. There is a strong anti-imperialistic movement abroad, fanned into flame on hearing rumors such as the young emperor's determination to make a dash for the throne, or when America and England are painted as capitalistic and essentially imperialistic. Secondly, the anti-Christian movement that broke out with violence in Canton last spring has just reached Changsha with considerable vigor. There is no doubt that there are a good many in our student body who would like to do all they can to wreck Yali unless they can do away with its religious element. By many I do not mean a majority, but rather an inconsiderable number. Thirdly, the fact that our school is not yet registered with the government adds to the student restlessness because they are told that their diplomas here will not have weight in the educated world. Few mission schools up to the present have been able to get such registration, and we are now making efforts to get this done and with good hope of success. It is a difficult thing, however, for an institution that wishes to preserve its independent attitude in matters religious, to satisfy the Chinese authorities without surrendering independence in religious matters.

"Among the immediate causes are the following: A new generation of students have observed that government schools usually yield to student strikes; they have not yet discovered the firm stand in disciplinary matters regularly taken by Christian institutions. Again, the rigid curriculum means here, as in America, that students have to work by the time-tables, a strong contrast to the lax habits of government schools.

"The direct cause of the strike arose from an incident of November 29th, during which scuffling started on the sidelines of a football game when our Yali students felt outraged at the

shouts of some of the spectators in behalf of the opposing team. Students here, it must be remembered, have not yet learned to be good losers, and our group were particularly exasperated because the other side was winning. In an effort to separate some of the boys in a scuffle, after repeated warnings to them to desist, one of our Chinese instructors, assuming very naturally the duties of a constable in keeping order, struck a Yali college undergraduate on the head. Of course the Yali student body were tremendously excited and for a day and a half the campus was seething, impromptu mass-meetings demanded all sorts of punishments and the passions of the inflammable youngsters were loosed. However, at morning chapel a week later the teacher made a beautiful apology, earning from all thoughtful men present the comment, 'He is a real gentleman.' This apparently set matters right."

With these rather hectic scenes the crisis of early December appears to have nearly subsided. From information received at the same time it would seem also that the student members of an association called the Student Union were disposed to revolt against their own president because he was too conservative to suit their tastes in dealing with the football incident; they were therefore charged by Dr. Hume that in their formal meeting the legislative committee of the Union must admit the presence of the faculty adviser, Mr. Tso Fu, and secondly that they must obey the Dean's notice as to posting defamatory notices about the college. The meeting was held, but without the adviser, and a day later a long proclamation was issued full of unkind things about the deposed president.

This was followed on December 12th by the kind of thing which Chinese schools have become more or less used to. Two hundred students came out on the campus and demanded the return of the expelled members. The demand was refused, and the strike was effected. "All the educational leaders in town are with us," adds President Hume, and the indications seemed to favor the end of the row before the next mail was sent from China.

Miss Gage Heads World Council Of Nurses.

OF much interest locally is the announcement from Helsingfors, Finland, by the Associated Press, July 25, of the election of Miss Nina D. Gage as president of the world's congress of the international council of nurses, during the sixth world's convention of the nursing organization which has been in session at Helsingfors during the past week. The Baroness Mannerheim of Germany is the retiring president, Miss Ethel Gunn of Canada was elected vice president.

This is perhaps the greatest single honor which can come to a member of the nursing profession today, and it is very significant that it should be bestowed upon the dean of the Hunan-Yale nursing school in recognition of her outstanding services to China.

Miss Gage graduated from Wellesley in the class of 1905 and joined the teaching staff of the colleges of Yale-in-China and medical department at Changsha upon her graduation from the Roosevelt hospital in New York two years later. She has been dean of the Hunan-

Yale Nursing school which was organized under her direction in 1921. She has been in this country on furlough during the past year and secured her master's degree from Columbia last June. She will proceed immediately from Helsingfors to Yale-in-China by way of the Mediterranean.

Miss Gage is the sister of Dr. Brownell Gage. Yale '98, provost of the colleges of Yale-in-China, now the headmaster of the Suffield School, Suffield, Connecticut, on an indefinite furlough.

Yale-in-China Was Saved by Governor of Hunan
From Rising Against Americans and Europeans

(The following article was written especially for the NEWS by Professor R. H. Gabriel, 1913, a member of the Board of Trustees of Yale-in-China. It deals with an uprising of the Chinese in the Province of Hunan against Yali, which was prevented only by the timely intervention of the Governor of the province. It is the first authentic account of the incident, compiled from letters recently received by Professor Gabriel from the scene of action.)

On the thirteenth of last May, Yale-in-China was nearing the end of what had, all things considered, been a successful and prosperous year. The only untoward event had been the student strike in December. But student strikes were common in China last winter and, curiously enough, were usually more violent in the Chinese controlled schools than in those under foreign supervision. As the term ended the spirit at Yali was good and conditions were normal. Then came the news of the killing of Chinese in

Shanghai on May 30 by British police. Changsha was in an uproar. There was much marching and counter marching. Nationalistic feeling ran high. A boycott against the British and the Japanese was demanded. As the first days of June passed, the excitement in Chansha grew more intense. Foreign observers were expecting Americans to be included any day in the denunciations against outsiders. On June 6 their expectations were realized when telegrams purporting to come from Shanhai were published in Changsha announcing that American troops had opened fire upon Chinese with machine guns and had “killed numberless persons.” This was in the morning.

A dispatch from Yali tells what followed. “Saturday afternoon a plot was formed to wreak vengeance on American institutions, and Yali was obviously the leading one to suffer the brunt of the attack. Rumors were fabricated in great number. One of these had it that a British railway engineer not far from us had killed a railway employee.

(Continued on page 5)

Yale-in-China Was Saved
By the Governor of Hunan.

(Continued from page 1)

In retaliation, a notice was put up all over the city, asking students and laborers to assemble at the railway yards at six o'clock that evening. From our campus gates we could see the crowds pouring out of the yards. It was discovered that at least two thousand had gone there and presently the Governor, realizing the danger of the situation, enforced very severe martial law measures. It was found that this huge mob contained ruffians of the worst sort, as well as student agitators, and it was extremely fortunate that their plot, whatever it may have been, was nipped in the bud.”

That night the entire city was in a state of siege with groups of armed soldiers guarding all the roads. All night the Yale authorities stood watch at the campus. Early on the morning of June 7, the Governor issued a strong proclamation declaring the rumors of the day before false and urging the populace to become quiet. The students of Yali meanwhile had stood by, tried to keep order and had refrained from joining in noisy demonstrations. That noon the Governor gave an address to fifty or more educators and other public citizens. He told them that unless he had been able to depend upon his army and to enforce martial law on the evening before he could not say what serious ill would have happened. He warned the group that the events of Boxer year came near to being repeated and added that if this should happen China would lose her life and her integrity.

Ten days after the assembling of the mob in the railway yard Yali held its commencement. A prominent Chinese of Changsha, Mr. T. K. Tsao, gave the commencement address. Few events in the history of Yali are so eloquent of the position it has won for itself in the local community.

A little less than a month ago Dr. Bliss Dayton, Assistant Dean of the Yale Medical School and a member of the Board of Trustees of Yale-in-China, together with Mr.

the resolute action of His Excellency Governor Chao Heng-ti in protecting the buildings and occupants of their institution from a threatened mob attack on the seventh of June, desire to express to him their appreciation of this timely exercise of his high authority.

"The Governor has already showed the strength of his character by punishing agitators, notorious for their malign activity, who endeavored to incite workers in the cotton mill to rebellion two years ago. This summer he sent soldiers to disperse a crowd gathered at the railroad yard in response to a false rumor of violence on the part of a foreigner, thereby preventing bloodshed. When, on the following day, grave apprehensions arose of a riotous attack upon the college of Yali, His Excellency proclaimed martial law and declared to an influential group of leading citizens of Changsha that unless order were maintained the Province of Hunan would lose influence among those provinces that looked to her as an example of proper political conduct, and the Republic of China ultimately would lose her integrity through uncontrolled outbursts of this kind. Thus, by warnings and prompt assertion of a power made terrible to wrongdoers as it is beneficial to the righteous, we are informed that an assault upon our buildings and professors, together with students faithfully pursuing their tasks, was frustrated.

"The Trustees, who, with generous assistance from the Province and people of Hunan, have maintained Colleges of the Arts and Medicine in Chansha for twenty years, are inspired by but one purpose in their difficult and costly effort: to improve the condition of the Chinese people and thereby help the Republic of China to maintain her prestige among nations. They believe that His Excellency approves their unselfish aim and agrees with them that the happiness of a people is secured by an understanding of virtue and the pursuit of wisdom. To this end their work in Hunan is consecrated. They have no association with the government of any nation. They desire only the welfare of China and look for its establishment through the support of those principles of law and order which have been asserted and applied by His Excellency the Governor of Hunan."

interest. Few royal persons have visited the democratic United States as royalty, and none has commanded more widespread attention than the Queen of Rumania.

What may be the serious reason for her visit remains obscure. People supposed to be well informed report that the motive determining her to come as a queen, and not incognito, is a desire to study our forms of industrial and social organization and learn what may be adapted to Rumanian needs. Therefore she desires not to be open to any except official invitations, in order to protect her time. In other words, so that she may observe social conditions she proposes to dodge "Society." This is as convincing an indication of her advanced point of view as her newly bobbed hair.

But it may be assumed that neither this nor the vague purpose of promoting friendship between Rumania and the United States completely explains the visit of Queen Marie. She is known in Europe, not only as an accomplished and charming woman, but as one of the most astute politicians of the Continent. Rumania, in difficult financial circumstances, has sought aid in the Allied capitals without dazzling success. The financial capital of the world is now New York, and its foreign loan policies are controlled by Washington. And Queen Marie comes to the United States to increase American good will toward Rumania. What more modern mission, at once practical and patriotic, could there be for a Queen?

## Dentistry and Discipline in China's Civil War

EVEN a general in the midst of a war may suffer from toothache, like the rest of humanity, and a person able to relieve him may turn the course of history. Something like that seems to have happened during the recent advance of the forces of the Canton Government in South China against General Wu Pei-fu in Central China.

General Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of the Canton army, had an impacted wisdom tooth. At Yali College, the institution established by Yale in China, Dr. Louise Farnam, a daughter of Professor Henry W. Farnam of Yale, and Dr. Philip F. Green, of the medical staff, extracted the troublesome tooth for him. Dr. Edward W. Hume, President of

Incidentally, Dr. Hume—who is one of the most experienced and reliable ob-

Keystone

servers of affairs in China—gives interesting testimony regarding the character of the southern Chinese army. "This army," he writes, "has shown the Changsha community what order and discipline among soldiers might mean. ... Military occupation has, until now, meant something horrible, with soldiers who robbed and abused, with officers who permitted loot and arson. But this summer has brought a new experience. The use of property by the troops has, on the whole, been reasonably orderly."

This is the army which has captured Hankow from General Wu Pei-fu, formerly the war lord of the Yangtze River provinces, and is besieging the last of his forces in Wuchang and at the same time joining battle with General Sun Chuan-fang, his ally from Shanghai. Press reports from Wuchang have indicated great suffering and even starvation among the population in consequence of the month's siege, but despatches from the American Consul-General in Hankow have shown that these accounts were much exaggerated. What is evident, despite contradictory rumors and a censorship which obscures the news, is that a formidable new force has arisen in China, capable of pressing its way from the south-coast provinces clear to the Yangtze River in Central China, and carrying on active warfare there, hundreds of miles from its home base.

The real nature of such a force is worth study. And when it is accused of being "Red" and "Bolshevist" such testimony as Dr. Hume's is important to American interests in the Far East. Obviously the southern Chinese movement deserves more serious attention than it has yet had in the United States.

Edward H. Hume, Yale 1897, presi-
dent of the branch of Yale University
that in the drive of the Canton Army
through the Province of Hunan, the
members of the Army have been re-
strained from bothering either the
aedemic or medical activities of Yali.
In their treatment of the institution
they have shown the Changsha Com-
munity what orderliness and disci-
pline among soldiers means.

President Hume said:

The other day, General Chiang,
commanding the Canton
forces,
came to town. Yesterday he put out
a proclamation saying that foreign-
ers were not bad, only the imperilists
among them, that they should be
watched and their actions noted, be-
fore they were condemned. One lot
of soldiers went into the Presbyter-
ian church and stayed two nights,
but they did not try to enter any
part of the premises, did not spoil
the garden and even swept the place
when they left. Anothor letter reports
that some of the troops came to the
west gate of the Yali campus and
askked permission to use the build-
ing and yard of the Elementary
school, run by Yali students for the
benefit of the poor children of the
neighborhood, borrowing it for one
night. Two hundred men occupied
the place, sleeping on the ground.
They kept excellent order, did not try
to com on the campus and left early
the next morning.

"Dr. Louise Farnam and Dr. Greene of the medical staff made a great hit by extracting an impacted wisdom tooth for General Chiang himself, both earning his personal gratitude and making it much surer that Yale would receive all needed protection."

IMPROVED CONDITIONS AT YALI
EXPLAINED BY CANON STOKES

President of Yale-in-China Says College
Of Arts and Sciences Can Now
Be "Registered Officially."

In an interview granted to a NEWS repre-
sentative yesterday, Dr. Anson Phelps
Stokes, '96, former University Secretary,
and Canon of Mount St. Alban's Cathedral
in Washington, D. C., spoke of the improved
conditions with relation to the College of
Arts and Sciences of Yale-in-China at Yali.

Dr. Stokes came to New Haven to at-
tend the mid-winter meeting of Yale-in-
China, of which society he is president, and
to preach in Battell Chapel.

"Reports from China," he said, "during
the last two months were more encouraging
than at any time in the past year." "The
Chinese Government," he declared, "has just
adopted 'broad-guage' regulations which
will permit the registration of competent
educational institutions supported by citi-
zens of other countries.

"The Medical School at Yali having been handed over to Chinese control some time ago was duly registered," Dr. Stokes continued, "but the College of Arts and Sciences, having an American President and required teaching of religion, could not receive this advantage. By electing a Chinese vice-president and by arranging for a majority instead of a minority of Chinese members on the Governing Board, and by meeting a few other seasonable requirements Yali can be registered officially."

"This means," he explained, "that its stu-
dents will then have the same academic
standing as those in Government colleges,
a most important matter from a Chinese
point of view. Furthermore the attitude of
the Governor of Hunan of the representa-
tive gentry is most sympathitic to the in-
stitution."

Dr. Stokes also said that he wished to
express great appreciation for what the
Student Body was doing for Yale-in-China
through the University Student Budget.

LAW AND JUSTICE IN CHINA.

After being held up for ten weeks
or more in Peking by civil war and
the interruption of railway traffic, the
members of the commission studying
the abolition of extraterritoriality in
China have at last started out on their
tour of investigation of the courts and
prisons. The purpose is to enable the
delegates to hear the reports of Chi-
nese and foreigners on the methods
of administering justice in the Chinese
provinces. One question is how far
Chinese judicial procedure has been
modernized during the last few years.
If extraterritoriality is to be abolished,
foreigners will have to appear before
Chinese courts and will have no ap-
peal except through diplomatic chan-
nels, which in China is always a very
slow process. Although progress has
been made in codifying Chinese laws
during the past decade, their adminis-
tration has, according to the statement
of persons familiar with Chinese
courts, failed to keep pace. As Mr.
TYLER DENNETT has pointed out in
his "Americans in Eastern Asia,"
the codes of China have always dif-
fered so greatly from those of the
West that it has often been hard for
Westerners to obtain what they think
"justice" in Chinese courts. In the
early days, as he puts it, "law went
to the highest bidder." In many
parts of China this is still said to be
true.

Although the work of the extra-
territoriality commission has been
rendered more difficult by the utterly
chaotic conditions that have prevailed
in China during the last eight months,
it has been possible for it to gather
much valuable and enlightening in-
formation. The commission is merely
to make suggestions and recommenda-
tions. The great problem is now, and
long has been, to devise some plan
for gradual relinquishment of special
privileges which will not jeopardize
the legitimate interests of foreign
in China. A sudden and drastic

MONDAY, MAY 17

change might bring about injustice
for many in China.

Advocates of immediate abolition
of extraterritoriality have cited the
experience of the Germans, who gave
up their rights through the Versailles
Treaty, as an indication of what other
nations may expect. During the first
two years or more the Germans had
few difficulties. Recently, however,
several incidents have occurred to
cause Germans in China grave un-
easiness about what the future holds
in store for them. Certainly, so long
as China continues in her present de-
moralized and disorganized condition,
foreigners living there cannot be
blamed for viewing a premature
change of the existing arrangements
with distrust.

Conditions in China
Topic at Yale Lunch

Provinces Hungry for Education, College Official Says, Describing 3,000-Mile Trip Through Country.

Palmer Bevis, executive secretary of Yale in China, described his recent trip to China at the weekly luncheon of the Yale Club of Pittsburgh in the William Penn Hotel yesterday at noon. The talk was illustrated with photographs taken by the speaker.

Mr. Bevis traveled about 3,000 miles in China, seeking first-hand impressions of conditions as they have a bearing on the work of Yale in China, located at Changsha in the province of Hunan. This is the only institution of higher learning in this province of 22,000,000 people.

"Conditions in China," said Mr. Bevis, "were much better than expected. A decided reaction over the disturbances of last May and June had set in and a new appreciation for education was evident."

GRATEFUL FOR AID.

His interviews with prominent Chinese, such as Dr. C. T. Wang, Yale graduate, now the minister of foreign affairs at Peking, and mentioned as the next president of China; W. W. Yen, Chinese minister to England; Dr. Y. T. Tsur, Peking banker, and others

would indicate that China is grateful for friendly co-operation on the part of other countries, provided it is free from aspects of superiority and paternalism.

Mr. Bevis said that anti-foreignism was not a movement in itself but merely a by-product of a very intense nationalism whic his sweeping China. It has been compared to the conditions in this country in 1776.

"The recent fighting was inevitable. Until the Peking government has sufficient resources with which to make its influence left," Mr. Bevis said, "China will be at the mercy of these various war lords. General Fung, the 'Christian general,' is perhaps the best of the lot and if successful in defeating Generals Wu and Chang, he may be the man who can set up a responsible government in Peking. Foreigners and foreign interests are not being molested in the present fighting.

"The work of Yale in China has been little affected, because most of the fighting has been in the north. A prominent Chinese educator placed Yale in China among the first three of the outstanding institutions in China. It has a student body of 500, a faculty of 50, and 12 of the provinces of China are represented on its campus.

"Bolshevism is a real menace in China, although it is hardly fair to blame all of the disorder on this. It is merely a contributing factor, and has no place in the Chinese order. The greater part of the Chinese people know very little about what is going on outside of the villages in which they live. Ninety per cent can neither read nor write. A movement, called the 'mass education movement,' has been founded, with a Yale Chinese, James Y. C. Yen, at its head."

The meeting yesterday was under the auspices of the Yale in China committee of the Pittsburgh Yale Club, whose chairman is W. F. Knox.

This is the army which has captured Hankow from General Wu Pei-fu, formerly the war lord of the Yangtze River provinces, and is besieging the last of his forces in Wuchang and at the same time joining battle with General Sun Chuanfang, his ally from Shanghai. Press reports from Wuchang have indicated great suffering and even starvation among the population in consequence of the month's siege, but despatches from the American Consul-General in Hankow have shown that these accounts were much exaggerated. What is evident, despite contradictory rumors and a censorship which obscures the news, is that a formidable new force has arisen in China, capable of pressing its way from the south-coast provinces clear to the Yangtze River in Central China, and carrying on active warfare there, hundreds of miles from its home base.

The real nature of such a force is worth study. And when it is accused of being "Red" and "Bolshevik" such testimony as Dr. Hume's is important to American interests in the Far East. Obviously the southern Chinese movement deserves more serious attention than it has yet had in the United States.

The Outlook for

Retaining China's
Good Will

BY EDWARD H. HUME

President of the College of Yale-in-
China, Changsha, China,

(The American Minister to Peking is returning for consultation with Secretary Kellogg. Does this herald American support of the British memorandum, recommending revision of the unequal treaties? The writer of this article, who has lived years in China, outlines the present situation and gives the case for revision in a challenging way.)

Americans should understand clearly the present conflicting issues in China, so far as the United States is concerned. It is not a question of continuing a republican form of government, for the Chinese have done with monarchy. Nor is it a question whether China shall be a single nation or divided into several sectional states. "A United China" is a national slogan today.

The two vital questions are: Can a way be found to dissolve the existing psychic conflict? Can America and Western Europe continue to have a share in building up the new China, or is the philosophy of Eastern Europe to be the only effective external aid?

The conflict in China today is not between Western marines and Chinese troops. It is a collision between armed force on the part of the West, on the one hand, and a determined hot-blooded Chinese national sentiment, on the other. We are amazed to read that in Hankow and Kiukiang, where the British hold concessions, the soldiers and marines have not been permitted to fire on crowds that threatened the European quarter. The truth is that the British Foreign Office now recognizes clearly—yet we hope, not too late—that the armed retaliation at Wanshien in September and the use of gunfire at Shanghai, Canton and elsewhere, beginning May 30, 1925, only inflamed the new spirit of China and endangered, possibly permanently, future British relations, commercial, educational, etc. Hitherto, the conservative Britisher in China has always insisted that "Chinese understand no language but force". This reactionary Britisher is overwhelmed at the news that his government proposes to revise the old tactics and resort to conciliation and constructive measures for securing the good-will of China. He feels that Britain's prestige is endangered "from Suez to Vladivostok". Fortunately for England, her officials are wiser. They have declared that the good-will of China, the willingness of China to buy British goods and to receive British co-operation in developing mines, railroads, etc., means more to England than the

CHINA IN FERMENT.

Comment From Yale on Statements
in Mr. Moore's Dispatches.

To the Editor of The New York Times:

I have read with great astonishment Mr. Frederick Moore's special cablegrams printed in your paper of March 1 and 2. It is hardly necessary for me to refute his account statement by statement. Let me mention two or three points:

In one place he said: "China, which is a republic by British and American educated Chinese, hardly knows herself by that name. Nor does the ordinary man call himself Chinese; he is a Kiangsu, Chihli or Hunan man." To be sure, the Chinese Republic is young, being scarcely sixteen years old. Yet since the last quarter of the nineteenth century there has been a steady growth in China of democratic ideas. This led to the overthrow of the Manchu dynasty in 1911 with little bloodshed and the immediate defeat of two attempts to restore a monarchical form of government by a small group of royalists.

The popular educational movement in recent years championed by Chinese educators as well as students has imprinted on the minds of the masses of the population a firm conviction in the spirit of democracy and nationalism. The fact that the common day laborers have been actively participating in the present political demonstrations and the fact that the Nationalist Government, which, by virtue of its being warmly supported by the Chinese people—both Northerners and Southerners—has been able to make sweeping victories and to occupy half of China within six months, is ample proof of the general interest in the unification of the country under democratic rule.

The Three People's Principles of the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen, which are now accepted by the Chinese with more religious fervency than the Christians accept the Ten Commandments of Moses, are, when translated into English, a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Republican ideas have come to China to stay, and they will soon be embodied in a thoroughly democratic form of government.

As to provincialism, I dare say that there is now no more of it in China than there is in Great Britain or the United States. We have often heard people from the United Kingdom call themselves Scotch, English or Welsh instead of British. We also infrequently hear people in this country call themselves Northerners, Southerners, New Englanders or New Yorkers, &c., instead of Americans. Does this mean that each of these two countries is much divided within herself? At home, among ourselves, the Chinese might use such names as Kiangsu, Chihli, Hunan, &c., to designate our birthplaces. But, when speaking to foreigners, I dare say not a single Chinese will mention his province in preference to his country.

It is generally known that the Chinese are the most homogeneous people among all the civilized races. Several thousand years of history and culture have given us a racial soli-

TWENTY YEARS OF YALE-IN-
CHINA

[Reprinted from the Chicago Evening Post, Nov. 16, 1926.]

Tomorrow marks the twentieth anniversary of the opening of the academic and medical departments of Yale-in-China, the great American educational adventure now firmly established at Changsha, capital of the province of Hunan.

The beginning of Yale-in-China may be traced, probably, to the appearance at Yale of a Chinese student away back in 1850 or thereabouts. He sought admission to the classes of the university. It was granted, and in 1854 he graduated, the first Chinese graduate of an American institution of higher learning.

From that time on Yale had a growing interest in China. Other Chinese students entered its classes and graduated with honors which they carried proudly back to the orient. Yale men conceived the idea of taking Yale to China for the sake of its many who could not come to the United States. In 1902 Yale-in-China was incorporated under the laws of Connecticut, and in 1906 Seabury, Hail, Gage and Hume set up the academic and material departments in modest rented quarters in the congested center of the teeming city of Changsha.

The province of Hunan has a population equal to nearly one-quarter of that of the whole United States. Yale-in-China has not lacked a constituency. Today it boasts a property valued at more than a half-million dollars on a spacious campus of forty acres beautifully situated in the city's suburbs. It has five departments—the college of arts and sciences, the middle school, the college of medicine, the nursing school and the hospital. Its enrollment has touched the 500 mark. Last year, however, famine conditions, and, perhaps, the raising of entrance standards operated to reduce the number of enrolled students to about 350. In this group twelve of the fourteen Chinese provinces were represented. Yale-in-China is an institution of national scope.

YALE-IN-CHINA GRADUATES
ARE ACTIVE IN AMERICA

Yali Medical School Alumni Are
Doing Significant Work In
Research Centers Here.

1926-1927 BUDGET ANNOUNCED.

Source of Income Depends Largely On
Grants of Chinese Foundations But Uni-
versity Gifts Also Important in Lending
Needed Aid.

The work of Yale-in-China, forwarded
during its twenty years of existence by the
creative energy of several Yale men, has
not been devoted solely to China, according
to an interview granted by Dr. Edward H.
Hume, '97, President of Yale-in-China. At
present there are three graduate of Yali who
are now actively engaged in medical work
in this country, each one of whom bears wit-
ness to the high standard of the Yali Medi-
cal School. Dr. H. C. Chang, now with
Professor Longcope of Johns Hopkins Medi-
cal School, Dr. Tang, at the Harvard Medi-
cal School, and S. H. Tan, at the Gaylord
Farm Sanitarium, are doing important work
in their respective fields.

The training these men received in the
Medical School of Yale-in-China has been
made possible through gifts of both gradu-
ates and undergraduates of Yale and through
grants from Foundations, such as that from
the China Medical Board of the Rockefeller
Foundation. It was further pointed out in
the 1926-1927 budget report that the aca-
demic work of Yale-in-China is supported
entirely by contributions of the Yale con-
stituency.

University men who have some affiliation
with Yale-in-China may feel a direct return
for their support in the men that Yali grad-
uates. In an interview yesterday, Dr. Hume
spoke as follows:

"In addition to three graduates of Yali who are studying at Yale for advanced degrees at present, several graduates of the Medical College of Yale-in-China are now in America. One of these, Dr. H. C. Chang, who graduated at Changsha in 1921 with a distinguished record, has made great progress in internal medicine and is now on the staff of Professor Longcope of Johns Hopkins Medical School. Another, Dr. F. F. Tang, is doing research work in bacteriology and has already shared in certain important investigations in the field of the so-called sleeping sickness. A third, S. H. Tan, is at the Gaylord Farm Sanitarium in Wallingford, specializing in the study of tuberculosis.

YALE OR MOSCOW

Chicago Evening Post:

Is the future to be shaped by
Yale-in-China or by Moscow-in-
China? That is a question of vital
importance to the world. The
strengthening of Yale-in-China
means the strengthening of those in-
fluences which are making for the
real welfare of the Chinese people
and their harmonious and helpful re-
lation to the world.

"An American who has watched the Medi-cal School graduates of Yale-in-China at work in another center writes, —'The men from Changsha come here with two important qualities: they are keen to learn, and they do not insist on high salary returns. Such men go far.'"

Because of the unstable conditions prevalent in China, Yali has not yet been able to support itself without outside help. Its endowment funds amount to only $18,000.00, making Yali dependent on such sources as the China Medical Board of the Rockefeller Foundation, the China Foundation (American Boxer Indemnity Fund), and regular grants from the Province of Hunan, where Yali is situated. The total budget for the year 1926-1927 is approximately $175,000.00. The plan to meet this is as follows:

| | |
| :--- | ---: |
| Yale alumni | $65,000.00 |
| Yale women (for Nursing School) | 8,500.00 |
| Yale undergraduates | 6,500.00 |
| Outside sources<br>(Foundations, etc.) | 95,000.00 |
| **Total** | **$175,000.00** |

emergence of a real indigenous Christian leadership. More valuable than the work done and the institutions started is the fact that there are arising here and there men who have a true experience of the life of Christ in themselves and a broad grasp of the great central aims of the Christian movement in the world.

## Colleges Now Dot China.

"There is no activity fostered by Americans that has brought richer reward or done more for the forwarding of China's reconstruction than the educational work in the colleges. From Yenching, in the north, at Peking, to Lingham University, in Canton, they are dotted over the land.

"The first college in China to be established by the alumni of a single university was Ya-Li, commonly known as Yale in China. From its quiet beginnings within the city of Changsha it has grown slowly and now occupies a campus of some forty acres in the north suburb. Over sixty have gone out with the bachelor's degree and over forty with a modern medical degree. Sixty have become trained nurses in its hospital and hundreds of thousands have received modern medical treatment there.

## Do Much For Good Will.

"One who has observed the medical graduates at work in another center writes:

"The men from Changsha come here with two important qualities—they are keen to learn and they do not insist on high salary returns. Such men go far."

"From the first Yale in China has laid emphasis on building up an institution which should be transferred to Chinese control at the earliest moment possible. A year ago the medical school was taken over by a local Chinese board and it is hoped that the College of Arts and Science may, before long, be directed by a local board of managers.

"In these days of tension, as between the West and China, centers such as 'Ya-Li' do much to make for genuine good will. They are known to be centers of friendly cooperation. They are not political agencies. Through such forces, in which constructive work is done by Chinese and Westerners working side by side, the new China will be built up. America may rejoice that her sons have gone out with this spirit of international friendship to serve in the Orient."

YALI COMPELLED TO CLOSE
BY COMMUNIST STRIKERS

Changsha Students, Influenced
by Bolshevik Propaganda,
Leave Yale-in-China.

MAY RE-OPEN FEBRUARY 15

Trustees Hope That Classes May Resume
at Beginning of Second Term—Middle
School Students, Led by Reds, Start
Sympathetic Strike in College.

Yale-in-China, the only institution of higher learning with western standards in the Province of Hunan, and located at Changsha, was forced to close on December 10 for the balance of the term ending January 20, according to an announcement issued last night by the Board of Trustees of that institution. The faculty was forced to close to school, that statement says, after an outside group, with Communistic principles, had brought about a strike of students in the Middle School, and had forced men in the College of Arts and Sciences to go out on a sympathetic strike. The trustees hope that classes may resume at the beginning of the second term on February 15.

The situation which now exists, the trustees say, developed during September, when General Criang-kai Shek, commander of the Canton army, into whose hands Changsha had fallen, moved northward with his troops to the conquest of the Yangtze Valley. There had been no disturbance in the city while General Chiang was there, but when he left, taking with him his military staff and civil advisors, others from Canton, not of the moderate wing of the People's Party, as the Canton party is called, took their places.

The statement continues:

"Hunan has always been noted for its fearless free-thinkers. It had been known

for some time that the province was well represented in the International College in Moscow. Opportunity was now given, under the patronage of the Canton Government, to put into practice some of the theories and doctrines of Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, and the others who have so prooffully influenced Russian thinking of late. Communism began to creep into the rural districts.

"It will be seen from the foregoing that the control of Changsha and of the province of Hunan, for the time being, had passed from the hands of moderate like General Chiang into the hands of a very radical group. Naturally this group looked with suspicion, not unmingled with jealousy, at some of the schools in the province. These sponsored by Great Britain or those having Englishmen on their faculties fared rather badly in the great anti-British wave which is now sweeping China.

"It should be borne in mind," the statement goes on to say, "that the United States has not recognized the Canton Government. Consequently the faculty at Yale-in-China was in no great haste to comply with the new Canton requirements. In characteristic fashion the radicals began to bring pressure

Angell Asks For Patience
In Yale-in-China Dispute

The following statement was made last night by President James Rowland Angell when asked about the closing of Yale-in-China owing to a Communist-fostered strike among the students.

"In the present distressingly unsettled condition of political and social affairs in central China, it seems to me incumbent on the friends of Yale-in-China to exercise all possible patience in giving a reasonable time for the clarification of the situation. In the meantime, both moral and financial support should be given to those who are directly in charge of this important educational undertaking, whose history has been so notable an expression of Yale ideals and Yale spirit."

THE YALE DAILY NEWS, TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1927

anywhere in China. A half-hearted set of demands was presented to the faculty, with the result that the College men had to go out on a sympathetic strike, which was followed by the announcement on the part of the faculty that the Academic Departments would close for the balance of the term ending January 20. It is hoped that conditions will improve to the extent that classes may resume for the beginning of the second term on February 15."

Complete details of this situation did not reach the Board of Trustees until the first part of January. A meeting was then held on January 6, and rather than close the institution indefinitely, and recall the staff, it was decided to "stand by" and await further developments.

"This they did on October 28, 1926. Among these demands were some which struck at the very roots of the institution. These demands were denied, but other reasonable requests were granted. This compromise was voted as satisfactory by the students on October 20.

"The compromise did not, however, meet with the approval of the radical element in Changsha outside the Campus. More demands were presented on December 3, embracing all of those which had been previously refused. The list is sufficient to show the impossible character of the demands, and the determination of the radicals to force the issue with the faculty. The demands were promptly rejected by the faculty, and the students of the Middle School went out on a strike.

College students had up to this time remained quietly at work and had been very helpful in trying to keep the Middle School students within bounds. Now, having achieved their objective in the Middle School outside influence began to concentrate on the older group. They were intimidated and told Yale-in-China degrees, if they stayed on and got them, would not be recognized

Changsha Entered by General Friendly to School
—Norwich Man Guards Property

New Haven, Conn., Feb. 8.—(AP.)— The reported entry of General Tan Yen-Kai former governor of Hunan province and a friend and benefactor of Yale-in-China, was said by officials here to offer a ray of hope that the present hampering conditions might be ameliorated.

It was said definitely that there is no intention of liquidating the holdings of the school. If General Tan makes his headquarters there it is believed here that he will put down the "ultra red" influences which have made it impossible for the school to operate.

The decision as to procedure has been left to those on the spot, it was said here today, and they have expressed their unwillingness to continue.

The registration required by Chinese authorities by April 1, if the school is to function, is said to be not too burdensome in itself. The difficulty is that officials of the school in China have no confidence in the group of Chinese officers who would administer the regulations. Until word is received from D. H. Leavens and W. J. Hall, who are remaining in Changsha, no definite decision is expected to be reached here.

Hospital Closed.

Shanghai, Feb. 8.—(AP.)—Having closed down the splendid Yale-in-China Hospital at Changsha, Hunan Province, of which he is the superintendent, Dr. J. R. B. Branch of Macon, Ga., arrived here today as a refugee. On the steamer Tuckwho with him were fifty other foreigners forced by anti-foreign agitation to leave the interior China. The majority of the refugees were American missionaries from Hunan and Kiangsi provinces.

Dr. Branch attributed the closing of the hospital to radical unionization in which native doctors and nurses joined in making demands that virtually wiped out the hospital's receipts.

After conditions had rendered the closing of the hospital to radical unionization in which native doctors and nurses joined in making demands that virtually wiped out the hospital's receipts. After conditions had rendered the closing of the hospital imperative, nationalist government authorities appealed to the American heads of the institution to keep it open to treat military wounded. They refused, however, to furnish any funds.

Leavens Remains.

The foreign staff afterward departed from Changsha, leaving the hospital premises in the hands of the native staff, whose attitude was hostile to foreigners. The hospital was closed two months ago. Two Americans—D. H. Leavens, of Norwich, Conn., and W. J. Hall, of the foreign staff, remain to watch the property until the school authorities of America and China decide the future of the institution, which is directed by the Yale Foreign Missionary Society, of New Haven, Conn.

## The Crisis at Yale in China

A BRIEF résumé of the history of Yale-in-China and some account of its operation down to last December seems called for in this crisis in its affairs. What this crisis is may be illustrated (if not described) by an analogy: Your watch is snatched from your pocket; in the scuffle, as you try to hold on to it, it drops to the pavement. The watch is ruined as a timepiece, it may be repaired when the works have been assembled but this will take, perhaps, a good many months. The machinery of Yali and the Medical School in Changsha was rather suddenly snatched from its staff by organized pressure from the Communist wing of the Kuomintang—the so-called Canton Nationalist Party—which conquered the Province of Hunan last September.

Thus far there has been no violence, nor is any expected at present. The pressure was intended to make life and work impossible and was brought to bear through student and servant organizations that were taught to concoct unreasonable demands and to strike when refused. The last incident reported, the strike of the nurses in the Hospital because they declined to take orders from any but their Union chief, left the entire institution with nothing doing.

A cable on January 26 informed the Trustees that the American members of the staff have been ordered to evacuate Changsha in case of a mob uprising such as has occurred in Hankow and Foochow. Most of them are now on their way home, but there is evidence that the responsible heads of the Kuomintang in their capital Wuchang are desperately anxious to pursue a moderate policy toward foreigners to the end of securing recognition by the Powers. The watch has stopped running but the works are not beyond repair while the property is in charge of Mr. Leavens who remains to keep it intact—nor is the mass of the Chinese insane.

Twenty members of the staff and their families are at present in Changsha. Four are officers of administration: Edwin D. Harvey, '07, Secretary, Mrs. Harvey and three children; Dickson H. Leaven, '09, Treasurer, and Mrs. Leavens; William J. Hail, '04 B.D., Dean of the College of Yale-in-China, Mrs. Hail and three children; and Miss Nina D. Gage, sister of Brownell Gage, '08, Dean of the Hunan-Yale School of Nursing. Seven are members of the staff of the College of Yale-in-China: Harold B. Bender and Mrs. Bender; Lewis L. Gilbert, '24 B.D., Mrs. Gilbert and one child; Francis Hutchins, brother of Secretary Robert M. Hutchins of Yale University; Charles R. Keller, '22; Southard Menzel, '25; Ralph, '16 Ph.B., and Mrs. Powell; and Miss Jane N. Lewis, teacher for children of the staff. Five are doctors in the Hsiang-Yale College of Medicine and Hsiang-Ya Hospital: J. R. Bromwell Branch, Mrs. Branch and two children; John H. Foster, Mrs. Foster and two children; Phillips F. Greene, Mrs. Greene and two children; W. R. Houston and Mrs. Houston; Henry B.

Rollins, '22 M.D., Mrs. Rollins and one child. Three are members of the staff of the Human-Yale School of Nursing: Miss Nellie V. Beeby; Jessie P. Norelius; and Harriet H. Smith, sister of Dwight C. Smith, '22.

Yale-in-China occupies a spacious campus of forty acres on high ground in the outskirts of Changsha. On this land are seventeen permanent buildings including staff residences, the value of the property being conservatively estimated at half a million dollars. Last autumn the enrollment in the four educational departments was: in the College of Arts and Sciences, 100; in the Middle School, corresponding to high schools in this country, 150; in the College of Medicine, 55; and in the School of Nursing, 50. The records of the Hospital for last year show the strikingly valuable work done by that institution; no less than 40,000 patients were treated by the Dispensary alone.

### TREASURER LEAVENS STILL AT POST

As we go to press the final word on the Changsha situation has just been received from Dickson Leavens, '09. He cabled that there seems to be no immediate danger to private property. It is reassuring to hear this word from him particularly after the newspaper reports of imprisonment and an implication of a more serious outlook than now seems to be warranted.

American College in Hunan
Proves Success.

HAS A FACULTY OF FORTY

Medical College Is Latest Addition
to the Institution.

PUBLISHED IN
NEW YORK SUN
NOVEMBER 16, 1926

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 16 (A. P.)
—Yale-in-China to-day celebrates its
twentieth anniversary. Founded in
1906 with the purpose of training men
for "public service in church and
civil state," it has grown from very
humble beginnings in rented quarters
in the most congested part of Chang-
sha, China, to an institution occupy-
ing a spacious campus of forty acres,
the only one of college grade with
western standards in that province,
with its population of 25,000,000 per-
sons.

Its faculty consists of forty Ameri-
cans and Western trained Chinese,
most of them Yale graduates; it has
a curriculum embracing five depart-
ments, and its enrollment in all de-
partments is 350, an increase of forty
over last year.

Twenty-four years ago Yale-in-
China was incorporated under the
laws of the State of Connecticut, and
four years later M. A. Seabury, W. G.
Hail, Brownell Gage and E. F. Hume
started the academic and medical de-
partments in Changsha, the capital of
the Province of Hunan, in the very
heart of central China.

In spite of civil strife, Yale has ad-
vanced steadily in all departments.
The most significant development,
its friends hold, has been the creation
of a medical college jointly adminis-

tered and financed by a committee
consisting of ten Yale representatives
and ten Changsha citizens.

Several hundred boys have com-
pleted the course in the preparatory
school, sixty-seven have received their
bachelor's degree in arts and science,
forty-three have received the degree
of doctor of medicine and nearly sixty
have been graduated from the school
of nursing. These students come from
twelve of the fourteen provinces of
China. In addition, several hundred
thousand patients have received treat-
ment in the wards of the hospitals.

Seeks American Aid.

Oriental University Budget To Be
Assisted By Alumni of New
Haven Institution.

In Changsha, the capital of the
Province of Hunan in the very heart
of Central China, may be found the
only institution of higher learning
with Western standards in that great
province with its population of 25,000-

000 people. Yale-in-China, as the in-
stitution is known, was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Con-
necticut 24 years ago. Four years
later the academic and medical de-
partments were started.

Today Yale-in-China embraces five
departments: College of Arts and
Sciences, Middle School, College of
Medicine, Nursing School and Hos-
pital. Its faculty consists of 40 Ameri-
cans and Western-trained Chinese,
most of them Yale graduates, and
many of them with high degrees.

Its enrollment last year dropped
from 500 in all departments to 350
because of a severe famine and more
difficult entrance requirements. Of
this number 100 were entered in the
College of Arts and Sciences, 150 in

the Middle School, 50 in the College
of Medicine and 50 in the School of
Nursing. These students come from
12 of the 14 provinces in China show-
ing the truly national character and
reputation of the Institution.

Financing of the Institution is car-
ried on through contributions made
by Yale alumni and undergraduates,
friends of the school and through out-
side sources, foundations and the like.

The total budget for the year 1926-
1927 is approximately $175,000. It is
proposed to meet this in the follow-
ing manner: Yale alumni will be asked
to contribute $65,000, Yale women will
be asked to give $8,500 for the Nurs-
ing School, Yale undergraduates $6,-
500, and the remainder, $95,000, is ex-
pected to come through outside
sources.

Yale alumni in the larger cities of
the country, while they have no al-
otted amount to raise, they are en-

deavoring to aid the cause, Cincinnati
alumni have appointed a committee,
with Bromwell Ault as Chairman, in
order that Cincinnati may do her
share in the raising of the amount
required in the budget. This com-
mittee is visiting alumni and friends
throughout the city. Contributions
may be made to them or by mailing
checks to Palmer Bevis, Treasurer, 3
White Hall, Yale Station, New Haven
Connecticut.

Reports sent to this country since
September 1 indicate that the enroll-
ment this year has increased more
than 40 over last year. Great activity,
especially in the hospital, "just now
full of Cantonese soldiers, both
wounded and ill," is shown.

In their call for assistance in meet-
ing their budget, officials in charge of
the campaign cite the phenomenal
growth of Yale-in-China as one of
the great reasons Yale should not
fail to "keep up the work."

# China's City Of Fireworks
## Remains True To Its Name

Changsha, From Which Large Amounts Of Material
For Fourth Of July Celebrations Were Formerly
Imported, Has Seen Many Uprisings

CHANGSHA, CHINA, reported, captured by Communist forces, is described in a bulletin from the National Geographic Society as follows:
"Changsha is a city of fireworks, literally and figuratively. The Fourth of July firecrackers used by the American small boy before the 'Safe and Sane Fourth' was so widely enforced were imported heavily from Changsha. The city long was a focal point for operations between the northern and southern armies, especially in 1922 when it was a scene of the long-delayed meeting of the two units.

### CAPITAL OF HUNAN

"The city is the capital of the hilly province of Hunan, important because it contains enormous coal fields, many unworked, and because in it, to the north of Changsha, is the huge lake, Tung-ting hu, which acts as a reservoir for the Yangtze floods.

"Among Changsha's most interesting sights are the wheelbarrows that climb stairs. Some distance ahead of the regulation wheel there is another smaller one. In climbing over flagstone steps or bridges the handles of the wheelbarrow are lowered until the auxiliary wheel rises above the next higher step. Then the wheelbarrow, which often carries 300 or 400 pounds, see-saws from wheel to wheel until the next level stretch of the flagstones is attained.

### WATCH THE STARS

"In Hunan the necromancer has exerted much power and Changsha was so well protected by the lucky constellation under which it was founded and by the Holy Hill which guards it that it formerly was thought a profanation for the 'foreign devil' to enter. In 1910 there were serious riots, mainly di-

rected against the growing commercial power of foreign firms, but the disturbance also had its astronomical accompaniments, for it was the approach of Halley's comet which touched off the explosion.

"Today Changsha is closely linked with New Haven, Conn., for there is, just outside the rapidly disappearing wall, in which the inhabitants once took great pride, one of the best-known mission schools in China, which is Yale's contribution to the education of the Chinese who cannot come to America.

### COAL BEDS

"A large part of Hunan is an unworked field of anthracite and bituminous coal, and at Pinghsiang, which is connected with Changsha by railroad, there is one of the mines which furnishes fuel for the great iron works at Hanyang.

"Changsha lies on a projected line of railway between Peiping and Canton, and trains have already competed with the light-draft steamers which make the 220-mile trip from Hankow. With about 500,000 inhabitants, it rules a province of 22,000,000 and is one of the cleanest cities in China.

### FAMOUS CANDIES

"Many of the streets are long and straight and at one time the city itself was divided between two magistracies.

"The Episcopal mission has a live Boy Scout troop and the visitor who watched tent pegging, fire rescue, stretcher making and other Boy Scout activities would marvel at China's quick changes. For until after the Boxer trouble Hunan's capital excluded the dread foreigner from its walls whose brick battlements, rising above the site of a former wall constructed in 202 B. C., were themselves built while Shakespeare was alive."

Rain Stopped Pillaging

Seattle, Wash., Jan. 31 (P).—Refugees who arrived here on the liner President Grant today told how a providential rain ended the rioting at Hankow, where the British concession was seized in a flareup of Nationalists.

How she was marooned with her husband and eleven-year-old son for three days on the third floor of a bank building in the British concession, while enraged Chinese revolutionists sacked the town, was described by Mrs. Hunter Mann, one of the three refugees.

"The roaring of the mob was inexc tant," she said. "They filled the Bund (the waterfront street in Han-kow) as far as we could see. Imprisoned as we were, we could look down on the heads of the mob, and it was not a pretty sight. Most of them carried no weapons except long bamboo poles, on which they fastened theiroot. To add to our anxiety, was the news that two Germans had been killed by the mob.

"Curiously enough, the pillaging naves fled when it began to rain, and that was how we got away. My husband tried to escape once before, but was stopped by a Chinese soldier at the entrance of the building.

"A rainstorm left the streets clear and we hurried on a small Japanese liner and got away."

Senator Predicts Strife
Within Two Years Un-
less Policies Are
Changed

New York, Jan. 31 (AP).—War with Mexico “within two years” is predicted by United States Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, unless policies of the present administration are changed.

Senator Wheeler believes the dis-
turbed situation in Central America
is made more difficult by the tem-
perament of Secretary of State Kel-
logg, who "sees a Bolshevik under
every sagebrush between Washing-
ton and Mexico City."

General criticism of American
policy in Central America was voiced
by the Montana Senator in an address
under the auspices of the non-inter-
vention citizen's committee here yes-
terday.

Senator Wheeler described the
Nicaraguan Conservative president,
Adolfo Diaz, as the "hand-picked
yes-man" of the State Department,
and said the Nicaraguan government
was "'safety-pinned' to power by the
bayonets of United States Marines."

It is "impossible to stand behind
President Coolidge in the crisis un-
less one had St. Vitus dance," the
Senator declared.

Grounded Ship's
Message Intercepted

Woodshole, Mass., Jan. 31.—(AP)—
A radio message intercepted here to-
day said that the steamer Newton
Har the Stone Horse

No one was injured in the crash and
those aboard the Celtic praised the
calmness with which the ship's officers
had handled the situation.

The two rents in the Celtic's side
were just under her main deck, a 20
foot section of deck rail was carried
away, two staterooms in the C deck
wrecked, and the Anaconda's anchor
was firmly imbedded in her hull.

According to Captain Gilbert Berry,
the accident occurred at 6:45 Sat-
day night when the Anaconda, bound
from Rotterdam to New York, loomed
suddenly out of the fog, 5 miles east
of Fire Island, and struck the out-
ward bound Celtic at right angles.
The bow of the Anaconda barely
missed penetrating the White Star
liner's third class lounge.

Captain Berry believed the other
boat saw his ship in time to stop
her engines and start to sheer off.

After ascertaining that neither
needed assistance, both vessels con-
tinued on their course. The Ana-
conda, with its damage shrouded by
the fog, anchored off Ambrose light-
ship last night to await the lifting of
the mist. Her officers planned to
bring her to drydock in Hoboken
today.

money and valuables. Mr. Leavens
and Dr. Branch, both fully realizing
the dangfier of their position in the
red-swept interior would certainly
have done nothing that would give
the Chinese authorities any excuse
for seizing them.

The trouble and discontent at the
Yale outpost, which had been break-
ing out in the form of student strikes
and uprisings periodically during the
past year, took definite shape on De-
cember 10, when the entire body of
the College and Middle School walked
out, following the refusal of the ad-
ministration to accede to certain
wholly preposterous regulative de-
mands. It was correctly surmised at
that time that the real cause of the
trouble was not any desire on the
part of the students for additional
liberty, but the influence of radi-
calism, sweeping up into the interior
from its headquarters at Canton.

On the 15th of this month the
Yale-In-China office here announced
that all hope of reopening for the
second term has been abandoned,
and that the staff of the institution

CHINESE DISTURBANCES
STOP YALI RE-OPENING

Cablegram Indicates Changsha
Anti-Foreign Troubles Are
Becoming More Serious.

PROPERTY IS ENDANGERED

Treasurer of College Volunteers to Act as
Custodian Until Disturbance Ends While
American Consul Promises to Use Gov-
ernment Seal as Safeguard.

Receipt of a cablegram direct from Changsha by the trustees of Yale-in-China yesterday indicates that conditions are becoming more serious for foreigners in the Province of Hunan. The message contains no specific mention of mob violence or damage to property, but reports the evacuation of some of the men and all the women and children. The prediction is made in the cablegram that all foreigners in central China will soon be compelled to leave.

This news is a great disappointment to the friends of Yale-in-China, as it was hoped that college would re-open for the beginning of the second term, on February 15, which will now be impossible. Apparently, however, the Left Wing of the Kuomintang Party continues in power and the crest of the radical wave in Central China has not yet been reached.

The trustees in New Haven do not anticipate that their property in Changsha, amounting to over half a million dollars in grounds and buildings, will be confiscated. The American consul, Mr. Vincent, has promised to seal the buildings with the official seal of the United States, and it is not likely that they will be molested. Mr. Dickson H. Leavens, 1909 of Norwich, Connecticut, treasurer of the institution, has volunteered to remain in Changsha as custodian of the property. Whether he will be permitted to stay is in the hands of the consul. He has been a member of the staff since his graduation from Yale in 1909. Mrs. Leavens, also from Norwich, is probably on her way home now.

Among others mentioned in the cablegram are Mr. and Mrs. Lewis L. Gilbert and son of New Haven, reported en route to Shanghai and from there back to the United States. In the same party are Dr. E. D. Harvey, 1907, and wife, also of New Haven, Miss Nina D. Gage, sister of Dr. Brownell Gage, '98, of Suffield, Conn., and Mrs. H. B. Bender of Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

Dr. Edward H. Hume, '97, president of Yale-in-China, who is in this country at the present time, when asked last night by a News representative for his comment on the situation as it now exists, wished it said that since he had been absent from China from some little time his statement must be based chiefly on his previous knowledge together with the reports which Yali officials have recently received from Changsha. Speaking generally of the Chinese situation, he divided it into four main points, all of

(Continued on Page 3)

which have been partially responsible for the present condition of affairs.

"The present Changsha situation," said the Yali president, "can only be understood if it is clearly recognized that four factors have prepared the way. The youth of China are being nationalized through progressive teaching in schools, plays, poems, and other propaganda. Their enthusiasm is sincere but their immaturity has broken bounds. In the second place the masses are being organized in an unexpected way. Every department of labor, peasants, and farmers, the army itself, are being industriate by a thorough system of planned party teaching. Thirdly, the technique of propaganda is being perfected to an amazing degree. The slogans are simple, such as "Down with imperialism" and "Down with capitalism," etc. The simplicity of these watchwords makes it possible for everyone to be taught them. Finally the committee system of government is being perfected. China has been accustomed to it always in her clans and guilds, but now for the first time the method is being developed politically.

"Bear in mind these four factors, recall how Russian influence comes in to aggravate strained relations with other powers, and the Changsha picture becomes easier to understand. The approval of the Porter

Resolution on Tuesday by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, requesting the President to move in the direction of revising the treaties, will make a profound impression in China. If the State Department can now see its way to a declaration of this sort it will do much to strengthen the hands of the moderates, who are temporarily overpowered at Changsha China has a long tradition of moderation, and everything done to support the attitude of the same element will be an act of genuine co-operation at this difficult time."

Word from Changsha, capital of Hunan Province, said mobs broke into and looted three British firms there and that the treasurer and a doctor of Yale-in-China College there had been imprisoned.

Treasurer Volunteers to Remain as Custodian of Seized College

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 31 (A. P.)—Dickson H. Lavene of Norwich, Treasurer of Yale-in-China in Changsha, capital of Hunan Province, volunteered to remain as custodian of the institution's property, according to a cablegram received here last week by the trustees of the college.

Yale-in-China was forced to close its doors last month. The trustees did not believe that the property, amounting to more than $500,000 in ground and buildings, would be confiscated. According to word received here, the American Consul had promised to seal the buildings with the official seal of the United States.

Mrs. Leavens and eight other Americans were reported on their way to Shanghai from Changsha.

Palmer Bevis, Executive Secretary of Yale-in-China, who lives here, to-day wired the Department of State requesting that protest be made to China against the imprisonment of Leavens, the Treasurer, and a doctor there.

The Executive Secretary was uncertain of the identity of the doctor imprisoned with Leavens.

Yale-in-China Treasurer Was Reported Held by Nationalists

NORWICH, Ct., Jan. 31 (AP)—Dickson Leavens, treasurer of Yale-in-China, whose arrest by the Chinese was reported today in Associated Press dispatches, is safe in Changsha, according to a telegram received from United States Senator Bingham by Leavens' father-in-law, Frank W. Browning, of Kitemaug, Montville, near here.

Senator Bingham's telegram was as follows:

"State department advices in cablegram dated today from Changsha says Dickson Leavens is safe and in Changsha. Mrs. Leavens had gone to Shanghai and sails for Seattle, Feb. 8."

NEW HAVEN, Ct., Jan. 31 (AP)—The Rev. Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, of Washington, who is president of the Yale-in-China society, wired Palmer Bevis, secretary at Yale-in-China headquarters here, this afternoon, that the state department was astonished at the news from Changsha and that it had communicated with American representatives in China to ascertain the exact condition of affairs.

"Everything possible is being done to get at the facts in the case," said Mr. Bevis, "and if Dickson H. Leavens of Norwich, our treasurer, and Dr. J. R. B. Branch, of Leesburg, Va., one of the best surgeons in China, are being held by the Chinese, every facility of the Americans will be employed."

Officers Here Receive
Message Which Contains
No Reference To
Imprisonment.

Not unless all foreigners are ordered out of Changsha will Yale-in-China property, and other foreign holdings, be in any immediate danger of confiscation and destruction, according to a cable received here today by Palmer Bevis, secretary of Yali, from Dickson H. Leavens, treasurer. The cable reported the departure of the staff for this country, but made no mention of any personal trouble such as the imprisonment announced by press despatches yesterday.

The cable was forwarded from Honolulu dated January 31, yesterday, with no date indicating when it was sent from Changsha. Whether or not the press report is correct, and Mr. Leavens and Dr. J. R. B. Branch were arrested after cabling, is not yet known. It is the hope and belief of Yali officials in this country that the United States government would know, through Consul Vincent in Changsha, if American citizens had been imprisoned. Thus far no official word has been received at Washington.

The cable received here today from Treasurer Leavens says that the staff of Yale-in-China left for this country in accordance with consular instructions, coming by way of Shanghai. The report likewise says that Dr. William J. Hall, of Japan, and Francis S. Hutchins, brother of Robert M. Hutchins, secretary of Yale University will stay at Yali with its treasurer unless the consul orders them all to leave the country.

PHONE STOCK
ENGLACED BY

BOLSHEVIST WORK IN CHINA.

Not the least disturbing of the recent news from the Far East is that it has been necessary to close Yale-in-China in the province of Hunan because of an outbreak of Bolshevism among the students and in the surrounding district. The institution consists of the College of Yale-in-China, the Hunan-Yale College of Medicine, the Hunan-Yale School of Nursing, the Hunan-Yale Hospital. It is a private American philanthropy reflecting the highest human sentiment. Its chief object is to train native doctors and nurses to combat disease among the Chinese people. It is one of the enterprises which fortify the claim of Americans to the goodwill of the Chinese. There was every reason to believe that the animosities of Chinese politics would not be displayed against such an institution, even in times of revolution.

The report forwarded to the trustees at New Haven gives a brief account of what happened. This extract pictures the general conditions:

> It had been known for some time that Hunan province was well represented in the International College in Moscow. Opportunity was now given, under the patronage of the Canton government, to put into practice some theories and doctrines of Marx, Lenin and Trotzky. Communism began to creep into the rural districts. The rice crop came under government regulation. Many farms and estates were confiscated. Iron and sulphur mines were taken over. Unions were organized.

Foreign and native schools alike were directed to register with the new government or cease operations. As the United States had not recognized the Cantonese, the facility of Yale-in-China made no haste to comply. Radicals immediately began to put pressure on the students. The younger ones of high school age and mentality proved most susceptible. A set of demands were given to the students for presentation to the faculty, some of which "struck at the very root" of the institution." Students as a result of representation on the board; the privilege of holdings whenever they choose the presence of a member of the faculty; the right to foreignation of any member of the faculty, including the president; two-thirds vote of the students; right to determine the national curriculum; that no student be demoted or expelled will

consent of his fellows; reduction of tuition fees; an annual subsidy of $100 for the students' union; that teachers be compelled to join in street parades; that a new gymnasium be built.

The college students remained at work and were a helpful influence in controlling the middle-school students, but when the extraordinary demands were rejected a students' strike was called and the collegians were compelled to join it.

The faculty, therefore, decided to close the academic departments for the remainder of the term ending on January 20, but the hope is expressed that classes may be resumed in February. Assurances are given that there is little danger of personal violence.

Those who followed closely the Bolshevist revolution in Russia will recognize at once the inspiration of the events described, both within and without the college. Hunan province is south of the Yangtze and was occupied by the Cantonese some time ago with little resistance. The experience of Yale-in-China appears to reflect their methods of organizing the country under their control rather than the disturbances incidental to war. The hope of an early reopening of the institution, however, is evidently based on an expectation that a better attitude will be developed when political conditions become more settled.

As the News recently stated, the officers of Yale-in-China in this country have been strongly commending the proposal of Dr. Sze, Chinese minister at Washington, that the United States act independently of other powers by at once negotiating a treaty for the abolition of the extraterritorial courts, conceding the right of China to fix her own tariffs and otherwise relieving the Chinese from the sense of foreign domination. If those who are in closest touch with such work as that of Yale-in-China feel that this policy would help them, their recommendations constitute a very strong argument in its favor.

New Havens
Leave China
For Seattle

Other Connecticut People
Sail On President Jackson—Three Yali Officials Stand Guard

Word from Yale-in-China came through yesterday by cable, when Palmer Bevis, secretary of the institution, with an office at Yale University, received a message from D. R. Leavens, Yale treasurer, still in Changsha, telling of the "safety of most of the teachers and their families who until recently formed the staff of Yale-in-China. Among the group are five New Havens, all aboard the S. S. President Jackson, which sailed on Tuesday from Shanghai, bound for Seattle.

Dr. and Mrs. E. D. Harvey, and Mr. and Mrs. Lewis L. Gilbert, Jr., and child, at Yale, New Haven people, whose safety is now definitely assured. Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Foster, of Farmington, Me.; Dr. and Mrs. Rollins, of Hartford; Mrs. D. H. Leavens, of Norwich and Mrs. Nina D. Cage of Suffield, dean of the School of Nursing, are also on board the S. S. President Jackson, bound for this country.

"The long-term permission of U. S. Consul John Carter Vincent to stay in Changsha, has been obtained by Mr. Leavens, Dr. William J. Hall, of Japan, and Francis Hutchins, of Berea, Ky., who now definitely remain in the Yall grounds as guarantors until some semblance of order is restored, and the institution can once more be reopened."

Dr. E. H. Hume, president of Yali, and Dr. Arthur Rugh, Y. M. C. A. secretary, who will be stationed at Shanghai, will talk this afternoon between 5:15 and 6:15, on the situation in China, speaking under the auspices of the International House. Their words will be broadcast from WMCA, New York City.

Yali Authorities
Are Reported Safe

All is safe with the Americans in Changsha, Hunan province, China, according to a cablegram received from Dickson H. Leavens, treasurer of Yale-in-China, by Palmer Bevis, of this city, executive secretary of Yali. Dr. William J. Hall, of Japan, Francis S. Hutchins, and Mr. Leavens plan to remain in Changsha, the cablegram, dated January 31, says,

> No mention is made of Dr. J. R. P. Branch, surgeon, who is said to have been with the others in Changsha. Reports that he and Mr. Leavens had been imprisoned were not confirmed by the cablegram sent by the latter. Unless United State Consul Vincent, now stationed in the town, requests them to leave, they will stay, believing that if there are no foreigners in the town the Yali buildings will be destroyed

by the advancing Chinese army.

The cablegram says that the local situation is not serious and that, at the consul's orders, Americans, with the exception of Dr. Hall, Dr. Hutchins, and Mr. Leavens, have left and are on the way to Shanghai.

The message was forwarded from the American gunboat, "Villa Bo" by way of Honolulu, and was received yesterday by Mr. Bevis at the Yale-in-China office at a White hall, this city.

NEW HAVENERS
SAFE ON SHIP
LEAVING CHINA

Yali Instructors And Families
Expect To Reach Seattle
February 24.

Five New Haven people who were in Changsha, seat of Yale-in-China, when anti foreign demonstrations were imminent and who were forced to leave the town. Dr. and Mrs. E. D. Harvey and Mr. and Mrs. Lewis L. Gilbert and child, are on their way to Seattle. Wash., having left Shanghai on the S. F. President Jackson, last Tuesday. Other instructors at Yali, and their families, are on the same ship.

The information is contained in a cablegram received yesterday by Palmer Bevis, executive secretary of Yale-in-China, from H. Leavens, treasurer of the S. S. President Jackson, and Francis S. Hutchings, of Montclair, N. J., and Dr. William J. Hall, of Japan, are staying in Changsha to look after Yali property.

The cablegram says that Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Foster, of Farmington, Me.; Dr. and Mrs. Rollins, of Hartford; Mrs. D. H. Leavens, of Norwich, and Miss Nina D. Cage, of Suffield, dean of the School of Nursing, also left Shanghai. February 8, on the President Jackson.

Mr. Leavens, Dr. Hall, and Mr. Hutchings have secured the permission of U. S. Consul Vincent, in Changsha, to remain at the Yali grounds, the information says.

This permission was given, it is believed, because conditions in Changsha are not considered serious enough to warrant the departure of the men. The presence of General Ta. Yen-kai, ex-governor of Hunan province, a leader of the moderate wing of the People's Party, who has been on friendly terms with the Yali faculty and who was reported to be on the way to the town, will have a quieting influence on the radicals, trustees of Yali think.

What the situation is in China will be revealed in a talk this afternoon by Dr. E. H. Hume, president of Yali, and Dr. Arthur Rugh, Y. M. C. A. secretary, who was stationed in Shanghai. The talks will be broadcast from WMCA, New York city, between 5:15 and 6:15 p. m. It is thought likely that Dr. Hume will mention conditions in Changsha. Both men will speak under the auspices of the International House.

Mr. Bevis notified relatives of the Yali faculty and their lives by telegraph yesterday of the departure from Shanghai on the President Jackson. They expect to arrive at Seattle, February 24.

Is The Old World Old?

DR. EDWARD HUME has chosen a very piquant title for an article in the current "Foreign Affairs." "Young China" comes as somewhat of a surprise to us. That oldest civilization in the world! We thought that we Americans had the monopoly of youth. We are the young giant heir to all the past. Yet not only the ancient East but also the "effete" continent of Europe puts on the garments of youth. Here is the distinguished review, The New Europe.

Our tourists do not go abroad to see The New Europe. They are glad indeed to find a bath-tub here and there. But what they go to see is the old world. They seek a country with a past. They are after dead empires. The skeletons of past glories, the fallen temples, the silent Memnons. Or they go to see the cities that have been and still are, but cities mature, finished. We are accustomed to think of Paris, Rome, Brussels in this way. It's the old world upon which Walt Whitman turned his back and said, "I strike up for a new world!" So Dvorak and his symphony.

There is a charm about things finished and one about things unfinished. A shiny new chair or table appeals. But to the boy in the carpentershop, the chair in the making has more glamor. A dead sun seen through the telescope is a spectacle. It has only a past however. The astronomer is more interested in the giant ball of luminous gases, tossing its fiery hair in space with its past before it. A child always has the mysterious charm of unknown possibilities. You can stoop over a cradle and remember the prophecies of Anna and Simon over the Christ child, or the vague dream-visions, auspices, prophecyings of Nancy Hanks over her boy baby. So with civilizations.

Europe has both a past and a future. Like a volcano millions of years old, its convulsive and incandescent heart is constantly renewing its outer shape and appearance. Paris and London are cities with a future. The newest ideas of city planning are agitated in conference of city engineer and architect in Brussels. The Old World is the new old world. There is a young Italy. There is very rightly a young China. Since the war the contrast between the old and new world is somewhat out of date. America needs to look to its laurels if it would remain in the van of progress. We have no longer a frontier. The frontier of humanity is in every land. The gates of the future are wide open in France, in Austria, aye, in Turkey, as well as in the great virgin continent reserved by the destinies for man's highest ascension. Far and wide,

CHANGSHA STAFF OF YALI
HAS CONFIDENCE IN CHINA

"Not a Single Foreigner Killed in
Year Since Beginning of
Revolution."

TRUSTEES HOLD MEETING

Dr. E. D. Harvey, 1907, Dr. H. Rollins,
Dr. P. Greene, Miss N. Gage, and L. L.
Gilbert Give Direct, Vivid Accounts of
Present Turmoil in China.

At a meeting with the Trustees of Yale-
in-China at the Nathan Hale Inn yesterday
evening members of the Changsha staff,
driven from China by the warring factions,

LEWIS L. GILBERT of New Haven
Who says Westerners ought to ana-
lyze Chinese revolution from stand-
point of psychology.

painted a vivid, and, on the whole, optimistic
picture of the present troublesome situation
which they have recently witnessed.

Members of the staff which arrived in
Seattle on February 24, who were present
last evening were: Dr. E. D. Harvey, 1907,
of New Haven, secretary of the govern-
ing board; Dr. Phillips F. Green, of Mont-
clair, N. J., and Dr. H. B. Rollins, of
Granby, Connecticut, members of the medi-
cal staff; Lewis L. Gilbert, of New Haven;
and Miss Nina D. Gage, dean of the nursing
school.

This group left Changsha on January 24
under consular instructions, in company with
a number of other Americans from Chang-
sha and points south of Hunan. The river
journey to Hankow, where they were not
permitted to land but changed to a large
steamer in midstream, and from thence to
Shanghai, was made without incident. Dr.
Harvey quoted the captain of an American
gunboat as saying that the Chinese had de-
ided not to harm the person of a single
foreigner but they were determined to drive
them out by giving them nervous prostra-
tion for fear they would suffer violence.
It is a significant fact that not a foreigner
has been killed, although some 1,000 have
been killed or are still being killed in the
war. But many is not enough to say that
the news reported to the editorials of a
number of the most important newspapers
is not true. The editorials of a number of
other newspapers are also true. But enough
is not enough to say that the news
reported by the press is true. The editorials
of a number of the most important newspapers
are not true. But enough is enough.
In the end the editorials of the most
important newspapers will have to be
replaced by the editorials of a number
of other newspapers.

ways of doing things are not our ways does
not warrant criticism on the part of out-
siders. It is their problem and they must
work it out. Certain negative by-products
of the revolution, such as anti-foreign and
anti-Christian outbursts often camouflage
the real issue which is a strong, positive,
burning passion to free China from age-long
inequalities imposed by stronger nations on
the weak. The revolution is truly National-
istic in character.

Dr. Greene summarized the situation in the
canturing of government control by a small
but very strong radical minority at the
present moment largely financed and directed
by Russia. He gave a number of examples
showing how Russian propaganda experts
operate. The Russians themselves remain
in the background and work through Chin-
ese students who have attended the Interna-
tional College at Moscow. They come in-
to a village and begin to tell about the won-
derful working conditions in Russia, how
the laboring man is so well paid that he has
leisure to read, study, travel, educate his
family, and really enjoy life. Nothing fur-
ther is said, but the seeds of discontent are
sown, and in the Chinese breast is born a
desire to learn more about the system which
holds out such attractive rewards to the
laborer. Joining a union is the next step,
and soon communism as practiced under the
Soviet is in full sway.

The conservative wing of the Kuomie-
tan, as the Nationalist Party, is called, is
not at all in sympathy with the sort of
thing that has been going on in Changsha
and throughout Hunan recently, but the
leaders such as Chiang Kai Shek are too
busy with military campaigns to give much
time or attention to governing some of the
territory which has come under Southern
control during the last six months. Chinese
as well as foreigners have suffered. Soviet
promises are being unfulfilled. The pock-
ets of petty officials and not the pockets of
the peasants are being lined with gold as
a result of the new regime. Chinese estates
and Chinese fortunes are been confiscated.
Chinese business men are being imprisoned,
and in some cases executed, on the charge
of being imperialistic and of belonging to
the aristocracy, thereby defeating the ends
of the revolution. A reaction is bound to
set in as soon as the Chinese people find
that communistic methods fail to bring
the desired and promised results.

Dr. Rollins states that he learned from
reliable source that $30,000,000 was paid by
Russia to the Kuomingtan for the privilege
of following along in the wake of the Can-
tonese army to teach and organize Soviet-
ism in China. The arrival of the Russian

were unrly and unreasonable; the
authorities expected to reopen in the
second term. On January 14 the en-
tire American staff was ordered out
of the province by the U. S. Consul.

"The orders to evacuate came
from Consul Vincent almost wholly
unexpectedly," said Dr. Harvey. "For
about two or three weeks I. ad been
packing up the household goods, pre-
paratory to closing my home and
sending my wife and children to

tention of leaving, myself, and knew
nothing about the consul's move un-
til 24 hours or so before his letter ar-
rived." When the official orders did
come, Dr. Harvey and the other Yali
staff members were hustled out of
the city of Changsha with the brief-
est of notice, commanded to keep
their going strictly secret, and to
take camp utensils and provisions
for at least 10 days.

"In the Yangtze Valley about 95

Hunan attended the Intercollegiate
College at Moscow, sometimes actu-
ally referred to as the Sun Yat Sen
University. It was early in 1924
when the moderate nationalists al-
lowed the Communists to enter the
party, and a great many representa-
tive Chinese believe that in so doing
they and Sun Yat Sen made a griev-
ous error.

"The result has been," continued
Dr. Harvey, "hat in Hunan there has

The trustees and Dr. Hume have
long felt that executive control of the

colleges at Changsha should pass into
Chinese hands as early as possible,"
the statement said. "With this thought
in mind every arrangement was
given to the creation of a Chinese
board of managers for the Medical Col-
lege, the new board taking complete
control in the Spring of 1925, when
Dr. F. C. Yen, a distinguished Chinese
medical graduate of Yale University,
became principal,

"In order to make Chinese leadership effective in the College of Arts and Sciences as well, a policy in which the trustees and Dr. Hume are fully in accord, the resignation of President Hume was offered to the Board of Trustees on June 24, 1926, and was accepted in October. Negotiations for a Chinese successor were in progress, and it was hoped that announcement of an election could be made at the same time as that of Dr. Hume's resignation. The unfortunate events of the past few months have nitrurupted these efforts, but it is hoped to renew them as soon as practicable."

President Hume was called from a
post with the United States Public
Health Service in Bombay to lay the
foundations of the medical work at
Changsha in 1905. Until 1910 he was
the only medical member of the staff,
being joined in the latter year by Dr.
F. C. Yen.

On Oct. 18, 1915, the corner-stone of the new hospital at Yale-in-China was laid by Professor William H. Welch of Johns Hopkins, the building being opened to patients in February, 1918. Dr. Hume continued as Dean of the Medical College and Professor of Medicine from 1914 to 1923, when he was elected President of the Colleges of Yale-in-China.

In accepting President Hume's resignation, the trustees placed on record their appreciation of his conspicuous service during the past twenty-two years, in a special resolution.

"Dr. Hume was among the first to put into effect a policy of partnership with the Chinese in medical education," the resolution said. "Through his efforts he has been instrumental in developing one of the outstanding medical schools in the Far East. With a remarkable knowledge of the Chinese language and eloquence in using it he has won for Yale-in-China many needed friendships. His Christian character, his strong faith, and ceaseless activity have kindled the enthusiasm of his colleagues and other workers throughout China."

NEW POLICY IS INTRODUCED

Executive Control Will Be Held in Future
by Natives—Dr. F. C. Yen Now at Head
of Medical College—Ex-President to Be
on Board of Trustees.

After twenty-two years of service at Yali, Edward H. Hume, '97, has just resigned from the position of president. The reason for this resignation is that the new policy of the Yale-in-China Foundation is to entrust the administration to Chinese leaders in the future, although a successor to Mr. Hume has not as yet been chosen. The retiring president will be re-instated as a member of the Board of Trustees when his term of office closes on July 1.

The statement to the News read as follows:

"The Trustees and Dr. Hume have long felt that the Executive control of the college at Changsha should pass into Chinese hands as early as possible. With this thought in mind every encouragement was given to the creation of a Chinese board of managers for the Medical College, the new board taking complete control in the spring of 1925 when Dr. P. C. Yen, a distinguished Chinese medical graduate of Yale University, in the class of 1909, became principal. In the last few months a number of other Christian colleges in China have decided on a similar course of action. In the case of Canton Christian College, President James M. Henry has been succeeded by a Chinese president.

"In order to make Chinese leadership effective in the College of Arts and Sciences as well, a policy in which the Trustees and Dr. Hume are fully in accord, the resignation of President Hume was offered to the Board of Trustees on June 24, 1926, and was accepted in October. Negotiations for a Chinese successor were in progress, and it was hoped that announcement of an election could be made at the same time as that of Dr. Hume's resignation. The unfortunate events of the past few months have interrupted these efforts, but it is hoped to renew them as soon as practicable."

When President Hume retires on June 30 to take a place on the Board of Trustees, he will have served as a member of the staff of Yale-in-China for over twenty-two years. In 1905, he was called from a post with the United States Public Health Service in Bombay to lay the foundations of the medical work proposed at Changsha. From 1905 to 1910 he was the only medical member of the staff, being joined in the latter year by Dr. F. C. Yen. From 1906 Dr. Hume was senior physician of the Yali Hospital, becoming in 1914 Dean of the newly organized Hunan-Yali Medical School, supported and

EDWARD H. HUME, '97, who has resigned from the presidency of Yale-in-China in order that the new policy of Chinese Administration may be carried out. Dr. Hume will continue his services to Yali as a member of the Board of Trustees.

It was in November that the young 'peatnuts' as we call them, in the school group, presented a set of demands that we could not possibly grant. Things like the right to vote the dismissal of teachers they did not like,—this from children of 14 and 15 years old. They had neevr thought out the demands, but where put up to them by older persons.

"The end came on December 10. We had a terribly nerve-wracking time keeping our heads above water,—being careful not to do anything that the government could seize upon as a quasi-legal reason for confiscating our property. When the youngsters left the school on strike they caused the following paragraph to be inserted in a very yellow journal that flourishes in Changsha. 'We have succeeded in striking, but don't leave the building, because if you do you will be locked out of the only good school in Huan.' As a matter of fact there are others, but it gives you an indication of their true feelings.

Dr. Harvey describes the country he left as rich beyond belief in natural resources, and fortunate in having a huge peasant population whose character is marked by the greatest strength and tenacity of purpose. As an example of the country's potential resources he mentioned a veritable mountain of coal in Hunan, to the base of which persons direct their boats, fill them with the fuel, and shove off for home. There is no expense zeyond the trouble to load it.

Little Prospect of Opening
In Fall Is Seen By Of-
ficials at Annual
Meet

Under the care of three Chinese faculty members and officials the buildings and other property of Yale-in-China have not suffered, although they are located in Changsha, which, for several weeks, has been in the center of the disorder and fighting between the various factons. This was announced yesterday afternoon at the annual meeting of the trustees of Yali, held here.

Dickson H. Leavens, Yale 1909, of Norwich, who has been the senior officer in charge at Yali between the departure of Dean William J. Hall and the time when all foreigners had to leave Changsha, was appointed treasurer and representative of the trustees, with headquarters in Shanghai for the ensuing year. He will have Francis S. Hutchins, brother of Dean Robert M. Hutchins of the Law School here, as assistant.

No action was taken at the meeting to name a successor to Dr. Edward Hume, resigned president of Yale-in-China, it being reported that conditions are at present too unsettled to warrant a definite consideration of that matter.

Although there is certainly no immediate prospect of reopening Yali, either now or in the Fall, Palmer Bevis, secretary of the institution, told The Register today that he considers the morning dispatches of concerted action against the Reds in China as extremely favorable, and that if the moves are successful against the Reds, the Yali opening date may be nearer than was at first hoped.

Mr. Bevis also reported this morning a message from Rev. Dr. William J. Hall, dean of Yali, saying that he sailed from Kobe, Japan, Tuesday for this country. The trustees yesterday voted to grant Dean Hall a year's furlough which he will spend largely in the country. Dean Hall was, with Leavens and Hutchins, left in charge at Changsha several months ago when it was first deemed necessary for the faculty and staff to leave for Shanghai and this country. Dean Hall was summoned to his father's bedside in Yokohama, Japan, where he arrived to find his mother also ill. She died three weeks later. Dean Hall has been in Japan ever since, where his father is a missionary.

The three Chinese now in charge of the Yali property are Lao, graduate of the University of Chicago last year, a professor of mathematics, Tan, assistant treasurer, and Ying, one of the doctors of the college.

YALE-IN-CHINA
TO BE REOPENED

Dr. Edwin D. Harvey Makes
Announcement at Northfield

[Special Dispatch to The Herald]

EAST NORTHELFIELD, Aug. 10.—In spite of international war of the greatest magnitude threatened today by anarchy in China, the trustees of Yale-in-China have formally expressed their good-will toward the Chinese people and will again carry on in China at the first opportunity, Dr. Edwin D. Harvey secretary of the board of trustees of Yale-in-China announced at the Northfield general conference here today for the first time.

The statement given out by Dr. Harvey reads: "The trustees of Yale-in-China at their last meeting put on formal record their cordial good-will toward the Chinese people in their present distress and their intention of carrying on and reopening at the earliest possible opportunity."

Dr. Harvey, who is a graduate of V. M. Hermon school and a Ph. D. of Yale University, was the speaker at the morning auditorium meeting at Northfield today before an audience of over 1300 people. Conditions in China have brought the nation "down to the verge of internal destruction and have created the possibility of an international war of the greatest magnitude," Dr. Harvey declared.

"China has been in anarchy for the last 15 years," he said. Referring to the 15 years which he spent in China as secretary of the board and professor of sociology of Yale-in-China, Dr. Harvey continued: "There aren't any civil guarantees in China. They don't exist. If I lived in safety with my wife and children for 15 years in China it was because American civil rights prevailed over me."

Chinese students who come to this country do not appreciate the good done by the intervention of foreign nations, the Northfield speaker stated. The various public utilities run by foreign nations have been of untold good to the Chinese people. "The common people of China are much better off than they would have been with no intercourts with foreigners. The standard of living in China has been raised before my own eyes during the past 15 years," he continued.

Social tendencies in the world today are superficial. Dr. Harvey maintained, "Our age is one of great superficial change which is taking place all over the globe. China is in a way exempt from these social drifts. There is no cause for alarm, but many grounds for seeking as full an under

standing of the social movements over there as is possible to obtain."

Dr. Edgar Y. Mullins for 23 years president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and former president of the World Baptist Alliance; the Rev. Dr. John A. Hutton, editor of the British Weekly; the Rev. James Reid, the Rev. Melvin E. Trotter; the Rev. Homer Hammont and the Rev. R. T. Rhoad were other principal speakers at the Northfield conference today.

SCHOOLS IN CHINA REOPEN.

Many Are Under Chinese Direction,
Missionary Council Hears.

Several mission colleges and high schools in China, temporarily closed by the withdrawal of missionaries from cities of the interior, have reopened, in many instances under Chinese direction, arroding to information from L. E. Willmott, Secretary of the China Christian Educational Association at Shanghai, in a letter to Dr. A. L. Warnshuis, Secretary of the International Missionary Council, 419 Fourth Avenue.

Included in these are the Shantung Christian College, where eighty students are enrolled and Chinese teachers are employed. Hospital work is being carried on by university students in the senior year of their medical studies; others are the Union Women's Christian Medical School and the Bridgman Middle School for Girls at Shanghai, where 300 students are enrolled; the West China Union University and forty or fifty primary schools maintained in Honan Province by the United Church of Canada.

The building and equipment of Yale in China at Changsha have not been damaged, Mr. Willmott says. The institution was closed several months ago when the missionaries left for port cities.

Information he has received from other sources, Dr. Warnshuis says, indicates that the Nationalists are placing educational work and institutions in the hands of trained educators and administrators, many of whom studied in the United States.

## THE TRUTH ABOUT JEWELS

Since the father of William Elder Marcus, Jr., '06, founded this firm nearly fifty years ago, it has gained an enviable place in the regard of the public. Year after year, it has made plainly apparent to buyers of precious stones the actual money-value of dealing with a responsible firm.

In this business, as in few others, conditions arise where the word of an expert is worth far more than the opinions of a hundred laymen. Scarcely distinguishable differences, minute shadings of color, infinitesimal imperfections—these pass unnoticed by even the more careful buyers. The eye of an expert and the word of a reputable organization are the only real guards against unwise jewel purchases.

During fifty years of selling pearls and precious stones to many notable families, something of this firm's unshakable confidence in its own merchandise has entered into the minds of an extraordinary number of people. And it is one of the most agreeable developments of this business that among these people are now numbered many notable alumni of Yale University. To these and all other Yale men, Marcus and Company wish to say that the expert knowledge and trained judgment of this organization are, now as always, at their particular service.

News and Comment

VERY few people, if any, in this country know what is really going on in China at the present time and fewer still have any exact idea of what is behind it. But now and then a ray of light penetrates the fog and we get some inkling. Such illumination can be read between the lines of the official statement which we publish this week, of what has been happening at Changsha, where Yale-in-China is situated. It is quite obvious that, no matter what the political designs are of the invading Southerners, in their wake has come Russian communism and the influence of this theory of society has created the situation from which Yali was forced to beat a dignified if temporary retreat. Faced with the choice of closing down the teaching part of the work at Changsha or of yielding to this Communistic control of its work, the school authorities took the only possible course open. When any educational institution discovers that it is under the thumb of a local military government to an extent that makes it impossible to carry on liberal instruction, there is only one self-re specting thing to do.

It is at least an ameliorating feature of this situation, so far as Yale-in-China is concerned, that the Russian hand behind the Chinese Communistic wave, falls even more heavily upon the better-class Chinese, and that under it the Buddhists are suffering as much. if not more. than the followers of our Western religion. Just as it is an entirely fair attitude to take, that the present conditions are not permanent and at any time may change for the better. This will come just as soon as the Chinese political leaders realize that they are being used by Russian brains, and that their patriotism is a handy tool for the Communists to forge and wield for the weakening of China for other purposes than the good of China or of China for the Chinese.

Firmly founded under all this current uproar and the ephemeral politics, international and national, which now hold the daily stage, is the sound fact of the accomplishment thus far at Yali and of the strong support for it among the intelligent people of Changsha, and the graduates and teachers of that institution. It is only a matter for patience before conditions will be restored. And the friends of Yale-in-China have that patience.

THE growth of the "Honors Work" at Yale has now got to the point where it is more than a theory and is challenging the interested attention of all observers of the University's progress. Just what "Honors Work" is, perhaps, not generally appreciated, and from this fact no doubt comes some of the criticism that is occasionally directed against it. It is a simple matter. It is no more than a method by which the Faculty permit of individually independent study for the upper-classman who stands high and who shows that, with special opportunities and working alone, he can do better work than he can under the traditional hum-drum of the curriculum. He does this special work under the personal attention of a Faculty man. He chooses the subject to which he is most drawn. He writes a thesis on this subject. To the right type of man, this is an opportunity of a life-time, for it gives him just the

chance that any man with intellectual ambition wants, to get the mastery of a subject that interests him.

This program puts into practical effect a theory which this page of the ALUMNI WEEKLY for years has advocated. And that is that the best "education" is one which brings out of a student the best that is in him as an individual, which gives him a chance to express himself and gives him a life interest. We have always wanted to see it arranged somehow, so that an undergraduate who had found an intellectual interest could develop it beyond the point which the routine teaching methods of the University permitted. The "Honors Work" attain this end.

And there is another angle of approach to this end than that of the undergraduate. The American college alumnus goes through life, as a general thing, making much less use of his college education than his English cousin. To a good many, "education," using the term in the usual sense, ceases on graduation. To a certain number, some intellectual hobby comes when years out of college, but generally with precious little relation between it and his college course. So we see graduates become collectors in the fields of art or archeology, who knew nothing of the subject when a student, or experts in old books or etchings or students of special topics in history or science, whose college days and thoughts were given to quite other things. With our English university friends, it is far more common than it is with us to lay in college a foundation for such a life hobby. It should be possible to do this in our colleges. Instead of turning out college classes the members of which have been formed in the same intellectual mould, and whose particular interests have not been developed, we need to run more to the individual. In this way the graduates of the next generation will have found something in their Cambridge days that stayed with them through life. And in doing so get that mastery of their subject from which the most satisfaction comes.

BY the progressive educational leaders of the country, the movement now seen on every hand that leads to the special handling of individual cases and to giving special individuals special privileges so as to let them get more out of their studies, is taken to be perhaps the chief educational tendency of the times. It will destroy the "lock-step" into which the traditional curriculum has fallen.

At Yale, high-stand men are gradually being given these privileges in the form of release from routine classroom work where the individual can profit from it. Harvard has just announced its policy of cutting down the amount of classroom teaching from the Christmas recess to the Mid-year examinations and of omitting it entirely in many courses for nearly the last month before the final exams. This advanced step at Harvard will be tried out at first only by those departments and divisions whose instructors are favorable to the idea. And it will not be applied to the Freshman Class. During these interim from daily attendance upon the old-time lectures and recitations, the Harvard plan is to substitute outside reading, apparently of a character that will make the old daily work seem an Elysium of ease by comparison. So the plan is not a "let down" of work, but quite the contrary. As stated in the

690

THE YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY

March 18

Harvard announcement of this change, it has been made because it was believed that Harvard teachers had too much to do and that the students would do better by independent study than by the old methods.

Whatever success may attend this proposal, and its purpose certainly is in line with what Yale is trying to do in its way, it is obvious that we are here observing a general tendency to get away from formalized "teaching" in the mass, and towards specialized development of the individual. It is along this path, we think, that there will come the solution of the college educational problem that of late years has become so urgent a question. The graduate who looks back on his college days and who feels that the mass education of his day did not land him personally anywhere and who regrets that he did not have

the chance to develop this or that interest because of the rigidity of the curriculum of his day, will look on this new tendency as an inspired proceeding. At least his sons will have the opportunity which he missed. They will be given the chance to concentrate, in their upper-class years, on their chosen subjects, and thus to carry away with them from college something more than a smattering of many things. We know of no more important or progressive movement in college circles today. It will cost the universities a bright new penny or two to put these new ideas into operation. But if the results justify the expense of larger teaching staffs so as to do this individual teaching, and higher salaries so as to get the best men to do it, no one will complain about that. The cost will be little compared to the advantages that will be gained.

## Study of Motion Pictures in Schools Planned

A trip of six thousand miles, in order to interest progressive teachers of the country in the problems presented by the educational motion picture, will be undertaken this summer as part of the program of visual education which has been inaugurated at Yale. The tour will be directed by Professor Daniel, C. Knowlton, instructor in visual education, who will visit fourteen of the outstanding summer schools of the country, including among others the University of North Carolina, Peabody College for Teachers, the University of Nebraska, the University of California, Leland Stanford and the Universities of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Chicago. Demonstrations and conferences will be held at each of these centers in connection with the study which is now being made at the University of the wider uses and possibilities of the motion picture in schools. The Chronicles of America Photoplays will be used for this purpose.

## Graduate School Makes Changes

The Corporation of the University has approved a recommendation of the Faculty that the number of resident students in English in the Yale Graduate School be limited for the present to 110. This step was taken in an endeavor to adjust the student body to the University's facilities for advanced instruction and research. Another change is the lengthening of the residence period of study for the Master of Arts and Master of Science degrees from one to two years. This will aid in eliminating students seeking a degree with the minimum amount of work, and will allow more concentration on students attempting to meet the three-year requirement for the Ph.D. degree.

## Scientific Work at the University

Professor John Zeleny is continuing his investigations upon the nature of the discharge in vacuum tubes containing gas, a field in which he has been one of the pioneer workers. The recent interest in this field has added a new importance to the work of Professor Zeleny's, which has remained so far unpublished, but which appears to contain the key to many of the developments now in prominent discussion.

Professor Leigh Page has made several recent contributions to mathematical physics in the field of atomic structure, electro-dynamics, and relativity. In particular he has proposed a method of harmonizing the theory of relativity with the experiments of Professor D. C. Miller, which experiments seemed at first sight to be contradicting that theory.

### McKee, '19, to be University Pastor

A call has been accepted by the Reverend Elmore McNeill McKee, '19, Rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church of New Haven, to assume the pastorate of the Church of Christ in Yale, the University Church, with the entire University body constituting the field of the parish. With the abolition of the compulsory chapel attendance requirement, it is now planned to develop a strong church in the heart of the University, to include members of the faculty and their families as well as the students. The body representing the latter heartily favored the appointment of Mr. McKee.

School will close indefinitely. Sufficient nurses remain on duty to care for patients.

Dec. 4—Middle School students strike because the faculty refuse to grant these demands, which would virtually amount to completely sacrificing standards and discipline.

Dec. 9—Faculty votes to close academic departments for the balance of the first term, i.e., until the opening of the second term on February 1, 1927.

Dec. 13—Opposition to the administration of the Medical School becomes so strong that Dr. F. C. Yen, the President, and H. S. Tsao, the Business Manager, are compelled to resign and leave Changsha. Dr. J. R. B. Branch becomes acting head of the Hospital.

Dec. 15—The Nursing School tries to continue under a Committee composed of five Chinese officials and Miss Gage.

Dec. 31—Practically all the academic students and the nursing students are leaving for their homes. The Hospital continues to function, but at a deficit of $4,000 Mex per month.

Jan. 10—Status quo. British women ordered out of Changsha.

Jan. 20—American women and children "ordered" out of Changsha by the Consul.

Jan. 24—Party of twenty-eight Americans on our Staff leave Changsha.

Feb. 1—Remainder of Americans leave at urgent request of American Consul. W. J. Hail, D. H. Leavens, Treasurer, and Francis Hutchins secure special consular permission to remain in charge of our property. No hope of re-opening the Middle School, the College of Arts and Sciences, or the Nursing School for the second term beginning February 15, 1927. The Hospital continues to function under the direction of some members of the Chinese medical staff, notwithstanding the departure of Dr. Branch.

Feb. 20—Hail called to Wakayama, Japan, on account of serious illness of his father, leaving Leavens and Hutchins alone.

Feb. 22—Cablegram from Leavens reporting conditions unchanged.

The Trustees wish it could have been possible to set these events in complete form before the Yale constituency more promptly, but it must be remembered that all of China is in a state of civil war and revolution. Postal and telegraphic communications have been sadly interfered with. Letters which ordinarily take a month in transit have taken five and six weeks.

tination. The picture has been fragmentary and sketchy. As late as December 17, on the basis of correspondence dated in Changsha late in October, the Executive Secretary vigorously denied in a communication to the New York Times a report that a serious student strike was in progress at Yali. He thought it was a belated story about the student demands presented in October which had been settled amicably within two days. It did not seem possible that so complete a change had taken place in so short a space of time. Letters describing the situation began to arrive early in January, but it was not until January 15 that a complete and authoritative Statement could be made by the Trustees.

The following statement has been made by the Trustees:

The bond between Yale University and China has been very close since Yung Wing, the first Chinese student to study in the United States, graduated with honors in the Class of 1853. Since that time a steady stream of China's best young men have received the Yale degree in Arts, Science, Law, Medicine, and Religion, and have returned to occupy positions of influence and power in the political, social, economic, and religious life of their country.

The founding of Yali at Changsha in 1904 was the logical outgrowth of this half century of friendly intercourse between a great University and the people of a great Empire, which in 1911 was to become a Republic. The purpose of the founders of the institution was to provide in every sense of the word an education which should be the equivalent of that secured at Yale in New Haven, an education in which should blend the best of the West with the best of the ancient culture of the East under the most favorable conditions possible.

At present a radical minority in control of the Province of Hunan has made it impossible to maintain satisfactory educational standards and discipline. A by-product of the strong Nationalist movement which is sweeping all China finds expression in an antagonism to everything "imperialistic," under which heading, for the moment, Yali and other foreign schools in the province are classified.

Yali has been compelled to close temporarily. Part of the staff, medical as well as academic has returned to the United States. Most of these men are seeking temporary positions in order that their services may be available when the institution reopens. The Trustees feel confident that when this present ultra-radical wave has spent itself the Yali staff will be welcomed back to Changsha and that definite assurances will be given from responsible authorities assuring closer cooperation from the Chinese than in the past. The following resolutions were passed at the Trustees' Meeting in New Haven on March 4, 1927:

> "Voted: That the Board of Trustees of Yale-in-China, sympathizing heartily with the aspirations of the Chinese people for national autonomy and social welfare, and desiring to cooperate with them to the fullest extent in its power, adopts the following resolutions:

> "I. That the institution developed during the past twenty years in Changsha with active Chinese cooperation must be continued and made as permanently useful as possible.

> "2. That, because of the changes taking place in Central China, the situation be re-studied so that without departing from its ideals the scope and methods of work at Yali may be modified to meet more adequately the needs of a new China.

> "3. That an effort be made to maintain a Chinese staff of at least three members in addition to the American staff now on the field, in order to render any possible service by private teaching, medical work, and personal contact.

> "4. That the Trustees authorize the members of the staff in Changsha to make such arrangements as they think desirable with the purpose of using the Hospital and other buildings for the public good."

# The Graduate Fence

## Professor Morris's Book

Referring to the book by Professor Edward P. Morris, '74, which has just been published by the University Press, a much delighted reader writes to the publishers as follows:

"I am writing this letter with ulterior motives; two of them. First, Morris's *The Fore and Aft Rig in America*, is a corking good piece of work, a ring-tailed snorter to use the nautical form. Since it is a Yale Press book, one naturally expects good make-up and good illustrations, but the combination of excellent and readable text with excellent selection of line drawings and plates is a good deal more than simply fine bookmaking. I have rarely run into such a satisfactory arrangement associated with so much information in a pleasant, readable form. It seems to me an example of what this type of book should be and can be when well done. You should be pleased with any part that you have had in making it. I don't know what *The Rudder or Yachting* have said about it, but there is nothing in their technical libraries along the historical line that can touch it. The second point is that I am sending Professor Morris a note about it through the Press marked for your attention. I don't know his address and should be obliged if you could forward it to him. It seems to me (to repeat again) that the book is another feather in the cap of the Yale University Press."

## Consule Planco

The *laudator acti temporis* is generally with justice regarded as a bore, and yet an old grad may perhaps be pardoned for wondering whether in these days of huge classes the boys get as much out of their college life as did their predecessors when Plancus was consul—at least whether they have so good a time. Of course the response is that they are not there for the pur-

pose of having a good time. Granting that much, the present writer is old-fashioned enough to believe that a large if not the greater part of the advantage of college life is derived from association with one's fellows, and can there be the same class and college loyalty—not to say the same high tone of sentiment—when men hardly know the names of their classmates as when they wore each other's clothes and called every classmate by his first name, or more frequently by a nickname.

One graduate of the Seventies boasted to the last that his evening coat delivered the valedictory oration while admitting that it was on the back of a classmate, and it warms the hearts of others to be addressed by some outlandish nickname, like "Missing Link," which for no particular reason was affixed to them when Woolsey or Porter was the "Prex." Parenthetically it may be remarked that it caused something like a shock to hear this title applied to the head of another institution in his very presence; while the President of Yale was never anything but the "prex" in college conversation, there was and probably still persists a sort of polite fiction that he did not know such to be the case.

A rather curious illustration of what at least used to be expected of college men was the remark of the head of a social settlement, not a Yale man, when canvassing the names of church attendants in search of helpers in carrying on its beneficent activities, that "it was no use to ask anyone but college men;" so forcibly were the obligations to society of the supposedly educated youth set forth in institutions of learning in former times if not at present.

There are some illustrations of the good fellowship of the past that deserve going on record, two of them having to do with the Class of '72, and there is no particular reason why real names should not be used. Just before a Class reunion

J. M. Cates, '06 L., Appointed Athletic Director

Beginning July 1, 1927, John M. Cates, a graduate of the Law School in 1906, will officially fill the position of Graduate Athletic Director at Yale, succeeding John T. Blossom, '14. For the past two years Mr. Cates has held with marked success the position of director of athletics at Bowdoin College. Cates' athletic career at Yale has been an extremely enviable one. As undergraduate he was all-American football end, track team hurdler and was captain of the track team in his senior year. He has since helped coach football elevens at Yale and has from the time that he left college, been closely and constantly in contact with Yale athletics. On the whole, Mr. Cates has been one of Yale's most successful athletes, captains and coaches.

Dr. Hume Resigns Presidency of Yali

Dr. Edward H. Hume, '97, President of Yale-in-China, resigned recently from his position and is now in this country. At a recent meeting of the Trustees of Yale-in-China, the following resolutions were passed on his retirement, and on his three year service as head of the institution and previous long connection with it, during which he particularly built up the medical work:

WHEREAS: the carrying out of the policy of entrusting to Chinese leadership the administration of Yale-in-China, a policy long advocated by Dr. Hume and accepted by the Trus-

DR. EDWARD H. HUME, '97

Who has resigned from the Presidency of Yale-in-China

tees of Yale-in-China, has led President Edward H. Hume, M.D., L.L.D., to tender his resignation as President of the Colleges of Yale-in-China, to take effect on June 30, 1927,

*Be It Resolved That:* in accepting President Hume's resignation, the Trustees wish to place on record their appreciation of his conspicuous service during the past twenty-two years in helping to found and build up the institution. Dr. Hume was among the first to put into effect a policy of equal partnership with the Chinese in medical education. Through his indefatigable efforts he has been instrumental in developing one of the outstanding medical schools in the Far East. With a remarkable knowledge of the Chinese language and eloquence in using it he has won for Yale-in-China many needed friendships. His Christian character, his strong faith, and ceaseless activity have kindled the enthusiasm of his colleagues and other workers throughout China.

*Be It Resolved That:* the Trustees express great satisfaction that Dr. Hume is become a member of the Board of Trustees and thus continue to help and guide the institution.

The following is a statement by Dr. Hume on retiring from the Presidency of Yale-in-China:

"The present storm of extremism in Hunan is certain to subside. China's philosophy of moderation cannot fail to assert itself in time, however alarming the outbursts of intolerance and radicalism that accompany the present nation-wide social revolution. These outbursts cannot wreck China.

Convinced as I am that the great investment made by Yale men at Changsha during the past twenty years has been tremendously worth while, I bespeak for Yali the continued loyalty of all its friends. Quite apart from the significance of the educational and medical service rendered has been the demonstration of Christian altruism, which has sought neither political influence nor financial gain. To have stood back of such a demonstration means that Yale men have worked in a practical way for international goodwill.

My own retirement from the presidency at the end of June, after twenty-two years on the Yali staff, will not prevent my continuing to have the deepest interest in Yali's progress. I look forward to continued cooperation with Yali as a member of its board of trustees."

before the cast had had a chance to forget their lines. This is the first play the Dramatic Association has given more than three times in New Haven, and its popularity seems to make a possible candidate for Christmas Trip production. Blood-curdling in the extreme, it deals in a wicked manner with wicked people, and might be called Impressions of Arizona by One Who Has Never Been There. The dialogue is clever and fast; the most successful character in the play speaks a total of two words, and these are lost in the fall of the final curtain. He is Silent Sydney, the part being taken by George A. Sanderson, 1929, who was recently elected chairman of the Play-craftsmen for the coming year. Other officers of this organization are: W. T. Kelly, 1928 S., Business manager; H. A. Wake, 1928, Production manager; and J. M. Bernstein, R. C. Osborne and W. W. Hoppin, Jr., all 1928, Directors.

### LECTURES AND ENTERTAINMENTS

On Monday the Berkely Association inaugurated a series of talks on the Church by prominent laymen. Hon. R. L. Luce, '89, of New York, spoke on the Origins of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Other selected men will trace its further history and ramifications in the coming talks. The third Whiting Recital took place in Sprague the same evening; Mr. Whiting was assisted by Miss Mina Hager, contralto. Professor Phelps continued his series of Lectures on Twenty Great Novels on Tuesday, discussing Anna Karenina before the ladies of the Calvary Baptist Church. Wednesday evening was an eventful one; Professor Tweedy led the Dwight Hall forum on the Fundamentals of Religion; Reverend Henry S. Coffin, '87, spoke on Business Leadership, at St. Elmo; the Boston Symphony gave a splendid concert in Woolsey, con-

cluding with Brahms' second symphony; and the Dramat gave the farce above mentioned. Professor Hugo Gressman, of the University of Berlin, gave the fourth Woodward Lecture Thursday afternoon, on "The Kingdom of Israel"; and Professor Arthur Livingston of Columbia lectured the same afternoon on the philosophy of pre-war Italy. In the evening Samuel K. Ratcliffe gave the first of two Bromley lectures with a comparison of English and American journalism. He concluded on Friday night with a study of the altered positions of editors and managers, and the great newspaper consolidations. Sprague was packed to hear Dr. Lorado Taft in the third Trowbridge Lecture Friday night. Dr. Taft knows how to edify and amuse at the same time, and his clever comments on the 17th and 18th century sculpture in France were very well received. The Smith College Glee Club, conducted by Ivan T. Gorokhoff, gave its first concert in New Haven on Saturday night, and rendered very well several selections from the sacred music of four modern Russian composers. Deems Taylor, Brahms and Rimsky-Korsakoff were also included in an eclectic program. A dance at the Lawn Club followed the concert, Eddie Wittstein furnishing the tunes.

### ELECTIONS

The Junior Fraternity of Zeta Psi announces the election from the Class of 1927 of George Henry Danforth, of Summit, N. J., and Allen Hindle Olmstead, of Bridgeport, Conn.

The Junior Fraternity of Psi Upsilon announces the election from the Class of 1927 of De Lano Stone, of Crogers-on-Hudson, New York, and Gentry Chilton Waldo, of Omaha, Nebraska.

## Athletics of the Week

By GEORGE S. MOORE, 1927

THE defeat of the University track team by Cornell in the last meet of the indoor season by 62¾ to 50¼ marred what might have been a perfect athletic record last week. Nevertheless it was softened somewhat by the victory of the basketball team over Cornell 24 to 19 for its second league game victory this season, and the first home victory in three years. This game concluded the basketball season. In the other sports the University teams enjoyed success. The swimming team defeated Princeton 45 to 17 on Saturday in the second dual meet and outpointed Syracuse 39 to 23 on Wednesday in the closest meet of the season. The biggest feature over the week-end was the double attraction at the New Haven Arena which included the Harvard wrestling meet and the Army boxing meet. Both contests proved spectacular and hinged on the outcome of the final bouts. In the wrestling, Bill Blunt, 1928 S., won for the Elis by gaining a fall over Wilson of the Crimson to break a 9 to 9 tie. Bill Vandegrift, 1927, football player and intercollegiate boxing champion in the 175-pound class, gave the Blue boxers a 3 to 3 tie with the strong Navy team by decisively defeating Coleman in the final bout. The fencing team outpointed the Army in a close meet, 9 matches to 8.

### Swimming

#### SWIMMING TEAM WINS PRINCETON SERIES

The swimming victory over Princeton 45 to 17 in the Princeton pool on last Saturday duplicated exactly the score of the Eli victory in New Haven the week before, while the water polo team turned the tide and won from the Tigers 52-15 after losing in the earlier meeting. In winning so decisively the University swimmers captured all first places save the 100-yard swim which went to Erdman of Princeton who nosed out Meany of Yale by several inches. The 50-yard dash was even closer, J. A. House, 1928 S., winning with Captains Bunnell and Erdman tying for second immediately behind the leader. House also won the 150-yard stroke to give him two first places and make him high point man of the meet. The relay event was adjudged a dead heat by the spectators, but the judges awarded it to Yale by a vote of three to two, Captain Erdman uncovering a final spurt which all but overtook the four yard lead the starters had given Claytor, the Yale pivot

man. In the 440-yard swim Langner of Yale won in easy fashion, lapping Loeb of Princeton before he finished. The water polo game was featured by the play of Hutchinson who gained twenty-seven points for Yale as the team won 52 to 15.

On the previous Wednesday the Syracuse swimming team furnished the stiffest competition the University team has faced this season and forced Yale to win the relay to capture the meet 39 to 23. With the score standing 31 to 23 at the start of the final event a victory for the Orange quartet would have given them the meet. However Coach Bob Kiphuth sent in his fastest swimmers to clinch the meet, and Captain Bunnell finished half a pool length ahead of the visiting pivot man.

The line-up and summaries:

* 50-yard dash—Won by House, Yale; Bunnell, Yale, and Erdman, Princeton, tied for second. Time: 0:26 1-5.

* 440-yard—Won by Langner, Yale; Loeb, Princeton, second; Mayers, Yale, third. Time: 5:24 4-5.

* Fancy diving—Won by Vaden, Yale; Murphy, Princeton, second; Walsh, Yale, third.

* 150-yard back stroke—Won by House, Yale; Bowron, Princeton, second; Greer, Yale, third. Time: 1:48 3-5.

* 200-yard breast stroke—Won by Rickman, Yale; Taliaferro, Yale, second; Wallace, Princeton, third. Time: 2:49 5-10.

* 100-yard swim—Won by Erdman, Princeton; Meaney, Yale, second; Hogan, Yale, third. Time: 0:57 6-10.

* 200-yard relay—Won by Yale (Clark, Pope, Sullivan, Claytor). Time 1:40:09.

## Track

CORNELL WINS INDOOR TRACK 62¾ to 50¼

Carr won the pole vault in the Cornell indoor meet and set a new dual meet record of 13 feet 6 inches but failed in his attempt after he had ordered the bar raised to 14 feet. In spite of this triumph and the victory of M. Smith in the mile, the Cornell team won 62¾ to 50¼ by gaining all the places in the weight events. The other feature of the meet was the spectacular race between Smith and Benson, Cornell sophomore, in the two mile. Smith made a brilliant attempt to repeat his earlier victory and set the pace for fourteen laps but was passed by Benson two hundred yards from the finish. Benson led by ten yards at the finish and set a new meet record of 9 minutes and 37 seconds. In the 440-yard race Captain Werly of Cornell beat Ordway of Yale to the finish by a close margin, Hunter of Yale placing third.

## Basketball

BASKETBALL TEAM WINS FINAL GAME

The victory of the basketball team over Cornell on Saturday 24 to 19 was the second intercollegiate league victory of the team this season, the earlier victory being over Cornell at Ithaca last month. It was the first home victory in a league game in three years. The upset came in the second half after the Elis had trailed the visitors 9 to 6. Spectacular baskets by Simmen, McNulty, and Ward sent the Blue five ahead 19 to 16 with less than four minutes to go. Ward was high point man with four field baskets.

## Other Sports

HARVARD BOXING AND NAVY WRESTLING IN ARENA

The dramatic victory of Blunt in the unlimited weight was the climax of the Harvard wrestling meet which was held in the Arena as part of a dual feature which included the Navy boxing matches. The University team won 14 to 9. Blunt gained the only fall of the evening by pinning Wilson of the Crimson to the mat with a half nelson in 7 minutes and 40 seconds. Captain Miller of the University team was deprived of a fall by the final whistle which closed his bout just as he was bending Captain Wood of Harvard to the mat with a half nelson. Five seconds more would have enabled him to gain the fall. The lead had changed back and forth during the early matches. Yale went ahead when Bisson won the opening bout, but victories in the 125 and 135-pound classes sent Harvard ahead. In the 125-pound weight Hickock of Yale barely escaped being thrown by Turner of Harvard. Dodd won from Corson of Harvard in the 145-pound weight with the scant time advantage of 1 min. 45 sec. and tied the score. After Captain Miller had sent the Elis into the lead by his victory in the 158-pound class, Howe of Harvard defeated Kreider in the 175-pound class and evened the score again.

### The summaries:

* 115-pound class—Bisson, Yale, defeated Massell, Harvard. Time advantage, 1:35.

* 125-pound class—Turner, Harvard, defeated Hickok, Yale. Time advantage, 7:50.

* 135-pound class—Lifrak, Harvard, defeated Wylie, Yale. Time advantage, 2:25.

* 145-pound class—Dodd, Yale, defeated Corson, Harvard. Time advantage, 1:45.

* 150-pound class—Captain Miller, Yale, defeated Captain Wood, Harvard. Time advantage, 6:45.

* 175-pound class—Howe, Harvard, defeated Kreider, Yale. Time advantage, 7:40.

* Unlimited class—Blunt, Yale, threw Wilson, Harvard. Time, 7:13.

The second part of the double bill which attracted 1,500 people to the New Haven Arena was no less exciting. With the Navy boxers leading 3 bouts to 2, Vandegrift, intercollegiate champion last year, pounded his way to a decisive victory over Coleman of the Naval Academy to make the meet a tie at 3 to 3. Vandegrift's victory almost resulted in a knockout. The steady rain of punches he delivered in the closing round had Coleman staggering and had Vandegrift not been exhausted himself he would have been able to deliver the knockout blow.

After the Navy had taken the lead on Captain Collins' victory in the 115-pound class Yale went ahead on victories by Graham and Captain Ritchie in the next two weights. Navy then captured the next two bouts and held the lead when the final bout started.

### The summaries:

* 115-pound class—Captain Rollins, Navy, defeated Smick, Yale. Referee's decision.

* 125-pound class—Graham, Yale, defeated Weintraub, Navy. Judges' decision. Extra round.

* 135-pound class—Captain Ritchie, Yale, defeated Horney, Navy. Judges' decision.

* 145-pound class—Gerin, Navy, defeated Gaisser, Yale. Judges' decision.

* 158-pound class—Allen, Navy, defeated High, Yale. Referee's decision.

* 175-pound class—Vandegrift, Yale, defeated Coleman, Navy. Judges' decision.

* Judges—Davis, of Penn, and Lewis, of Harvard. Referee—McCracken, of Philadelphia.

The University fencing team defeated Army at West Point last week 9 to 8, the final outcome of the meet hinging on the victory of Snow in the final epee match, the score standing tied at 8 to 8 before he scored over Sands of the cadets. Yale went into the lead in the foils matches 6 to 3. Captain Every winning all his matches. The Army fought to an even break in the saber and won the first three of the epee matches to tie the score before Snow gave Yale the meet.

'26 and '26 S.

The Class of 1926, both College and Sheff, celebrated its first annual dinner at the Yale Club on Saturday evening, March 5. All records for the largest attendance at such functions are now held by the youngest group of alumni. Ninety men were present to join in the gaiety. For the first half-hour the idea the was prevalent that the only nourishment was at a side table, but every one finally took his seat at a large U-shaped table and enjoyed the excellent food the steward had taken special pains in preparing. Between each round of gustatory stimulation Jim Cooper played Yale songs, while the rest sang or shouted in accompaniment. This music attracted members of 1906 away from their class dinner. They joined heartily in the singing and several felt they should help Jim play the piano. This established another record, for never before has it been possible for five men to play one piano at

the same time. The dinner was very informal and no one had to worry about impromptu speeches. We were pleasantly surprised, though, when Reg Root took the floor and held it for a large part of the evening by a very inclusive discussion of eight or nine college presidents, the declaration of war on Germany, the present and future possibilities of a Yale football victory, and little trips around the Pyramids. In the midst of all this Reg presented the long distance cup. This beautiful creation was hotly contested for and not until one of the waiters had been strangled and the movie operator severely man-handled could it be decided whether Boston, Washington, or Naugatuck was farthest from New York. The man from Washington finally won out. Following this excitement four reels of moving pictures were shown which brought back the memories of many familiar scenes around New Haven. These also included excellent views of football games, reunions, and boat races. This large turn-out at the first dinner shows the interest and unity that has developed in our Class and is a good indication that our next dinner will be even more successful and that it is now time to be getting in shape for the Triennial Reunion in 1929. The following attended the dinner: Anderson, Arneill, Austin, Bates, Bennett, Bermingham, Blake, Bornn, H. I. Brown, Brownson, Bullard, Burger, Cameron, Cipriano, C. T. Cooper, J. W. Cooper, Crute, Curran, Darcy, B. R. Davidson, J. W. Davidson, DiBella, Oliver Edwards, Faust, A. L. Ferguson, Gallup, H. Garrison, Gault, Greer, Guild, Hogan, Holding, Ingalls, W. H.

Alumni Associations

Hartford County

A meeting (smoker) of the Hartford County Alumni Association was held at the Hartford Club on Wednesday, February 23, at 8 P. M. Approximately 100 members of the Association attended the meeting to listen to a very interesting talk by Mr. Oliver S. Lyford, '90 S., who spoke on the general problems of the Sheffield Scientific School in connection with the common Freshman Year. The topic, which was very fully covered by the speaker, was discussed at unusual length by the members present and, as a result, a very clear idea of the problem

was reached. Following the talk, refreshments were served. The evening closed with Yale songs. This meeting was the result of a vote to appoint a special committee of the association at the annual meeting held last December, to consider certain of the problems of Sheffield Scientific School.

Western New York

At the recent annual banquet of the Yale Association of Western New York, the following officers were elected: President, Charles Pascal Franchot, '10; Vice-President, Charles M. Ramsdell, ex-officer; Secretary and Treasurer, Jesse C. Dann, Jr., '23.

Following a very brief business session, we will have the pleasure of hearing a most interesting and vivid account by Commander Edward Ellsberg, U.S.N., of his personal experience in "Raising the Submarine S-51 Off Block Island." This is a gripping story of dangers encountered and obstacles overcome on one of the greatest salvage jobs in seafaring history. The cover charge will be $4.00 per cover and men guests whether graduates of Yale or not will be cordially welcomed. Please make your reservation promptly.

I Am Busy

WHY do you say
that when a life
insurance agent calls on
you?

It may be true, but
why are you busy? It
is largely because you
wish to make the future
secure for yourself and
your family.

But the John Hancock
agent wishes to do the
same thing for you. He
does not come to add to
your troubles but to lessen
them. He has for his
commodity the security
of your future.

Perhaps the next John
Hancock agent who calls
on you can answer some
of your problems. He
has the training and deals
in policies to fit the needs
of yourself and your busi-
ness.

THE VOGUE OF THE
WHITE SWEATER

© VANITY FAIR

When all is said and done, no
sweater is smarter than the plain
white one. For the last few years
sweaters have run the gamut of
color and design, and there was a
time recently when sweaters having
the brightest colors and the most
bizarre designs were by far the
most popular. The cycle of fash-
ion has now revolved back again to
the plain colored sweater. Not only

are white sweaters excellent for
sports wear, but a number of young
men are now wearing white sweat-
ers in place of waistcoats with their
town clothes. When thus worn, a
better effect is achieved if the suit
is of a plain blue material or one
having a faint white pin-stripe.
This combination of white sweater
and dark suit calls for a dark, plain
colored tie. The cut of the sweater
has much to do in producing a
smart appearance, and a better ef-
fect is obtained if the neck of the
sweater stretches across the chest
in an almost straight line instead
of the ordinary V opening. This
little touch avoids the obvious,
which would be to wear a dark
gray sweater cut in the usual shape
and opening like a waistcoat. The
wearing of one conspicuous article
of clothing while the rest of the
outfit remains strictly normal is a
notable affectation of the present
day; but, unless a man is very sure
of his taste in dress, it is better to
avoid striking effects, because while
the strictly conservative note in
dress is never startling, it is always
safe.

If you are interested in any ques-
tion of dress or etiquette, write
"The Well-Dressed Man" care The
Yale Alumni Weekly and your let-
ter will receive prompt and careful
attention. Do not fail to give accu-
rate address.
