DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

January 31, 1906.

To the Diplomatic and Consular Officers

of the United States in Venezuela.

Gentlemen:

At the instance of Mr. Arthur T. Hadley, President
of Yale University, I take pleasure in introducing to you Dr.
G. R. Wieland, who is connected with the Peabody Museum of
Yale and is about to travel in Venezuela to collect fossils
and other natural history material.

I cordially bespeak for Dr. Wieland such courtesies
and assistance as you may be able to render, consistently with
your official duties.

I am, Gentlemen,

YALE UNIVERSITY MUSEUM

Geological Department

NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT

26 January, 1906

To the Friends of Yale University in Venezuela: -

This is to certify that Dr. G. R. Wieland is traveling in Venezuela for the purpose of collecting natural history material, and especially geological specimens for the Museum of Yale University. Any courtesies shown him will be greatly appreciated.

To transportation companies, the University guarantees any just charges on material shipped by Dr. Wieland.

Respectfully yours,

President, Yale University.

It is Decreed

by goodly custom that the Fijis of Yale
gather in The Tomb on the coming
February 24th.

And, because there are some of us who know that the Yale Banquet is a thing of joy unconfined and who could never be restrained from going by anything short of thoroughly permanent decease, or an inability to get bail, we have got together independently of the Chapter and sink a few private stamps in this epistle to explain that your Chapter has got into the way lately of holding rather exceptionally successful reunions of its baldheaded grads.

The fame of these affairs is as wide as the fraternity and about everybody in Phi Gamma Delta (except a section of our alumni) tries to get there.

Every class since '92 will be represented at the next Banquet; in some cases the entire group of Fijis in a class have been heard from favorably.

Now of course, YOU won't come - not unless So and So is coming, and he won't (because you won't). So suppose you just dictate a letter to So and So and tell him you're coming and that he must. That will fix both of you, and after the 24th, you will thank your stars and us for shaking you out of your rut into a night of mirth and youth in Old New Haven.

For we say what we know, and out of the joy of our
knowing, which we fain would share with those who
know not.

New York, February 7, 1906.
