PREFACE 
 
 The preparation of the Book which is now submitted to the 
 Class has been a pleasurable work. The hearty cooperation 
 of all has made it really a Class Book, as well as a Class History. 
 Much is due, also, to the valuable suggestions received from 
 the Secretaries of the Classes of 1903 and 1905, and to the 
 constant help of the Dean of the college, and Professor W. B. 
 Bailey. To Air. Thompson, of the Alumni \Yeekly, for his 
 aid, to C W. Somers for drawings, and to the men who have 
 assisted in the statistical and subscription work, we express 
 thanks. 
 
 In a work of this nature errors of fact are very likely to 
 occur. History means accuracy, and it is urged that each 
 man in the Class, upon noting any error, will immediately com- 
 municate with the Class Secretary. 
 
 After the graduation of the Class, frequent correspondence 
 will be the- surest means, not only of keeping each member in 
 touch with all others, but of insuring accuracy of future Class 
 Records. Each man is requested to inform the Secretary 
 regarding change of address, and anything of general interest 
 to 1906, concerning himself or other members of the Class.

 What were our first impressions of Yale and New Haven 
 when we descended from our train and timidly asked the street- 
 car conductor if this car went near York Street? We have a 
 dim memory of gray skies, cold drizzles and great crowds in 
 which we seemed to be the only ones who did not know everyone 
 else and carry pipes in our mouths. But it did not take us long 
 to feel that at last we could be called among the number of 
 those fortunate beings, college men, and even among that still 
 more fortunate body, Yale men. By the time we had acquired 
 felt hats from Chase's we could walk Chapel Street, arm-in-arm, 
 with the best of them, and fondly imagine we were disguised as 
 upperciassmen. In the daytime, that is ; at night this quickly- 
 gained mantle of assurance fell off as rapidly, and we crouched 
 in our rooms in terror, quaking in our shoes each time the dread 
 cry of "Fresh, put out that light," reached our ears, or the tones 
 of "Wake, Freshmen, Wake," seemed to swell in volume as it 
 grew nearer. On September 25th, this body of four hundred 
 units for the first time met together, marshalled by torch-bear- 
 ing, "Y"-sweatered giants, fell in at the end of the procession, 
 and gave in hearty, if not regular accord, the Yale cheer. In the 
 Hopkins Grammar School lot, Whitcomb, Thatcher and Banks 
 went down in defeat in wrestling bouts with the Sophomore 
 champions. But this rather inauspicious opening of our glori- 
 ous career did not dampen our enthusiasm, for the Freshman 
 Class of 1906 had started its life at Yale, and we were members 
 of it. 
 
History of the Class of 1906. 
 
 If this short sketch is to be at all intelligible, and if any 
 comprehensive idea of what we accomplished Freshman year 
 is to be gained from it, I must altogether disregard chrono- 
 logical order, since onr activities were so varied and numerous 
 that if they should be given in the order they occurred, the 
 reader would find himself struggling to wade through the mass 
 of data, and would emerge at the end with a sigh of relief, and 
 know no more about what his class accomplished than when 
 he began. To take up our literary activities then, Greely, 
 
 FRESHMAN FOOTBALL TEAM. 
 
 Stimson and Wallis were busy burning the midnight oil and 
 sending in contributions to the Lit. and C our ant; some were 
 accepted by the former, more by the latter. Flocks of dishev- 
 eled News "heelers" were turned loose to harry an unoffend- 
 ing college, ride recklessly around on antiquated bicycles, and 
 worry upperclassmen. At the end of the first race, Perrin 
 came out successfully ; in the second competition, Brown, 
 Van Tassel and Wilson were elected to positions on the 
 Board. Magee went on the Glee Club Christmas trip in 
 the capacity of first tenor. On the Apollo Glee Club we 
 were represented by Sprague and McGee. McGee was later

 in the year transferred to the University Glee Club. On the 
 Apollo Banjo and Mandolin Clubs, Dustin, Banks and Fitch 
 were enrolled. The Academic men on the Freshman Glee Club 
 were Magee, Walters, Dickinson, MacLane, Scarborough, Ely, 
 Hamlin, Squire, King, Warren, Monzani, Halsey, Sherrill, 
 Drew, Mills, Stevens, Kochersperger, Turner, Terry, Macgurn, 
 Tileston, Tuttle, Brinsmade and La Vie ; on the Mandolin Club, 
 H. Brown, G. T. Brown, Ferry, Van Tassel, Bruce, Culbertson, 
 Embree, Freeman, Phelps, Westcott, Young, Turner, Wescott.

 From the Dramatic Club trials, Brooks and Stevenson emerged 
 successfully, though neither took part in the play given that 
 year. A glance at the names of members of the Freshman 
 Religions Committee reveals some startling information, but 
 the list will not be printed in this history for fear of covering 
 with confusion some members of the McCarthy, Friday Night 
 Club, or the Hogans. Space does not admit that this list be 
 continued further ; it could be carried on ad infinitum, for there 
 was scarcely an organization in college in which you could not 
 find a member of the Class of 1906.

 In athletics our record is equally lustrous : Shevlin and Rock- 
 well not only played splendid games through the entire season 
 as end and quarterback on the Football Team, but also were 
 inscribed in the All- America team by unanimous consent of 
 football critics. Rowland and Marcus represented the Fresh- 
 man Class on the University Hockey Team. The University 
 Baseball Team made use of O'Brien at second base throughout 
 the season, and of Shevlin for a short period when the track 
 season was over. Shevlin won the hammer-throwing event in

 the dual track meet with Harvard, and gained second in the 
 same event in the Intercollegiate Meet. Under the manage- 
 ment of E. White and Magee as Secretary, the Freshman Foot- 
 ball Team went through the season with one defeat up to the 
 time of the championship games. It defeated St. Paul, Betts, 
 Hotchkiss and Andover. The next week Andover revenged 
 herself, and in the following two games the team lost to the 
 Princeton Freshmen, 5 to o, and to the Harvard Freshmen, 
 10 to 22. Hoyt, Corning, Stevenson, McGee, Twichell, P. 
 Smith, Turner, Moorhead, Heckscher, Downing and McClin- 
 tock received numerals for football. The Freshman Hockev

 its officers, Turner, President ; Rockwell, Secretary and Cap- 
 tain. This team lost one of the championship series, and tied 
 the other, winning one game with the Princeton Freshmen at 
 Princeton by a score of 5 to 3. Rockwell, Waldo, Whittlesey, 
 Magee, Moorhead, Dousman, Thompson and B. D. Smith were 
 awarded numerals for this sport. W. K. Johnson managed the 
 Freshman Crew, with Fulton as Secretary. The Freshman

 On Washington's Birthday two of our Class maintain, with 
 reliable witnesses, that they fought their way to the Sophomore 
 Fence and held their position in spite of all efforts of the 
 enraged Class of 1905. Whether this legend is true or not, the 
 fact remains that we all struggled, pushed, tramped through 
 slush, and bore away the marks of Sophomore canes, for the 
 honor of 1906. Of less doubtful origin is the story of the 
 great victory we gained over that same class on Omega Lambda 
 Chi night. The great struggle was a tug-of-war between these 
 
 —13— 
 
History of the Class of 1906. 
 
 two classes, and none of us will forget, if we die of old age, 
 the thrill of pride and joy of victory that surged through us 
 as we felt the rope start in our direction ; first slowly, inch 
 by inch, then gradually gaining speed, we swept from the 
 Campus to York Street with the rope in our possession, a few 
 stubborn Sophomores still clinging to it and being dragged 
 through the mud on their backs. Throughout our entire college 
 course, frayed pieces of this rope have been festooned about 
 our gas fixtures. But better than any of these days of glorious 
 
 FRESHMAN BASEBALL TEAM. 
 
 victory was the day when Wilson McClintock received the 
 fence in our behalf ; examinations were over, pipes with 1906 
 numerals in every mouth, and joy in every heart that now we 
 were to begin our real connection with Yale as Sophomores. 
 
 Our life together at Yale is nearly passed ; there are many 
 scenes and pleasures throughout our course that we cherish in 
 memory ; but there are few scenes we can look back on with 
 such fondness, and few pleasures which are so undiluted, as 
 those of Freshman year. Freed by our situation from all 
 restraint on the part of upperclassmen, with not enough con- 
 nection with the University to keep us busily engaged in its 
 
 —14— 
 
Fresh man Year. 
 
 work, but with enough to make us learn to love it and want 
 to know it better, Freshman year stands apart from the other 
 three. What if we did worship false gods? They were not 
 false to us — they were robed in their blaze of light, and the 
 mantle of glamor was over them so we could not see their 
 feet of clay. And though we have come to see that the gods 
 are of earth, yet the mantle of light can never be quite torn 
 off, and we still have a tender affection for those old idols of 
 ours. We have come to worship other gods by this time, but 
 alas, our youthful dreams were rudely shattered in many cases 
 so that our idols now can never draw the mantles quite close 
 enough to hide the feet of clay. So we will ever keep a tender 
 affection for the folly and fun, and even the mistakes of 
 Freshman year, when we first became sons of Eli, and learned 
 to love the old College.

 Fresh from the apron strings of division officers and with 
 some of our number not yet weaned from the fostering care 
 of the Freshman Faculty, Nineteen Hundred and Six toddled 
 forth — a most precocious infant — in this, the second year of 
 its collegiate life. With our naturally winning ways we at once 
 proceeded to take a fall out of the latest addition to the house- 
 hold of Father Eli — the Freshmen — for both Daskaloff and 
 Morrison won their bouts in the wrestling contests. Thus, 
 having successfully survived our debut before the lime-lights 
 of publicity, the play was on, and henceforward many and 
 various were the activities in which we took part. So many, 
 in fact, that the writer must resist the temptation "to blossom 
 forth a bit" and confine this review strictly to an enumeration 
 of the stellar roles and the men who played them. 
 
 The curtain rose to the strains of "Pro Yalensis." Dustin 
 and Banks appeared on the Banjo Club, while Sprague, Magee, 
 Arms, Cowles and Kochersperger, midst the ranks of the Glee 
 Club, showed up well for us behind the footlights. After this 
 burst of song and merriment, thoughts naturally turned to our 
 first award of social honors, and the Sophomore German Com- 
 mittee, consisting of B. D. Smith, E. White, Stevenson, Turner 
 and Magee, was chosen. To further fortify ourselves against 
 the enticements of Lenox Hall, Class Deacons became an essen- 
 tial. So the four handsomest men in the Class were chosen 
 to lead the opposing forces of Dwight Hall, and Gurley, 
 McClure, Banks and Magee easily qualified. Thus, well pro-

Sophomore Year. 
 
 viclecl for, socially and religiously, 1906 began to do things in 
 athletics. On the gridiron "Rock" tore off the plays in his 
 own inimitable style, while "Shev" (literally and figuratively) 
 "killed" the ends. In the handicap fall games, Fawley won 
 the broad jump, with Banks occupying third place. Weeks, 
 Chase, Ely, Gregory and Low rowed on our victorious Class 
 Crew in the Fall Regatta, and a little later in the year Flinn, 
 Marcus and Rowland began to rough it up a bit on the Hockey 
 Team. At the same time the basketball squad included Ander- 
 son and Humpstone. 
 
 THE SOPHOMORE GERMAN COMMITTEE. 
 
 Then came the organization and speedy disorganization of 
 the Wranglers and the Wigwam, chiefly notable for the arduous 
 labors of "Colonel" Alden as Secretary. Speaking of the 
 "Colonel" reminds us of that famous football team which 
 practiced every afternoon in front of the Hutch with "Moose" 
 as head coach. Strange to relate, but one game was ever 
 scheduled — at Wallingford — and then George alone showed up. 
 O Tempora ! O Mores ! . . . During the fall, too, the 
 spirited McCarthy Club valiantly upheld its motto — "Capillum 
 in Pectore," and e'en on one memorable occasion, decorated 
 
 -10—

 with fitting ceremonies the manly breast of one of its mem- 
 bers — the future manager of the Tennis Association. 
 
 But we must hasten on. Nimble Thespians tread the stage — 
 Bouscaren, Andrews and Markoe were in the French Play, 
 while Stevenson, Brooks and R. W. Wescott materially aided 
 the Dramatic Association in its presentation of "New Men 
 and Old Acres." . . . The lights blaze up in an unusual 
 burst of brilliancy — then the cold, grey dawn of the morning 
 after : — and our first Prom, was a thing of the past. Then 
 came the Apollo Clubs, with Fitch, A. L. Westcott, Field, 
 Bruce, Van Tassel, Phelps, Embree, W. D. Harris, Coursen, 
 Dickinson, A. W. Andrews, Mills, Turner, Ely, Brinsmade, 
 Sherrill, Higgins, Walcott and McGee — in fact, all the disturb- 
 ing element in the Class — making more or less (chiefly the 
 latter) music in the air. Greely and Newberry were elected to 
 the Record, and (after many sacrifices to the God of the Strenu- 
 ous Life) Wolfe and Sands to the News. 
 
 In debating, 1906 furnished the third Sophomore ever on a 
 University team — Bergh winning the Thacher prize for the best 
 speaker in the trials, and debating against Princeton. Banks 
 lead the Apollo Banjo Club, A. L. Westcott assisted the Gym 
 Team, and the Gun Club had to set up new targets for Sturges 
 and Borden. In the realms of scholastic endeavor — the C. 
 Wyllys Betts prize for excellence in English Composition went 
 to W. G. Robinson ; Bruce won the Barge Mathematics Prize, 
 with Warren second and Fawley third ; Bergh and R. M. 
 Anderson were awarded honors in Sophomore elocution. The 
 University Club began to pass into our control, Corning being 
 elected Treasurer and Turner, Secretary. Likewise in the 
 Dramatic Association, Stevenson became Vice President and 
 Brooks, Treasurer. In the Musical Clubs Association Stevenson 
 was elected Manager, with Sprague, Recorder of the Glee Club. 
 Dustin, occupying a similar position in the Banjo Club, was 
 said to be of the "highest" authority. Shortly after this 
 Harrington was elected to the Record. 
 
 From this enumeration of varied achievements we would 
 turn for a moment to the foundation of the firm of Gurleyburg 
 and Warnerstein, but time "presses," and we must hasten on 
 a brief journey through the Hutch. Here, on the fifth floor, 
 
Sophomore Year. 
 
 is that den of creative genius from which developed the Codille 
 Club, with its watchwords — "Fair/' "Stinking's good," etc. 
 (For further information as to origin apply to Lout, Phormio, 
 Scratch, Married Man or King Goodhart.) But descending 
 farther still we come to that marvellous suite, to the furnishing 
 of which "Moose" contributed an organ, "Wils" a canary 
 bird and "Shev" a combined bulletin and blackboard. On the 
 latter, midst batting averages and Codille remarks, we find 
 from newspaper clippings that Shevlin won the hammer-throw 
 at the Harvard meet, got second in the Intercollegiates, and 
 then went abroad on the International Team. MacKay pitched 
 on the Baseball Team, and knocked a home run at West Point. 
 (N. B. The ball is yet to be recovered.) O'Brien and Bruce 
 Smith also helped the team out. In the Inter-Class games, 
 Shevlin, Stevenson, P. T. White and Banks secured places. 
 
 Towards spring the various elections began to be held. Flinn 
 became Captain and Goodyear, Manager of the Hockey Team; 
 E. White was elected Assistant Manager and Banks Secretary 
 of the Football Association, and in the Baseball Association 
 Turner and Magee were chosen for similar positions. In track 
 Sands and Cowles were elected ; Moorhead became Secretary 
 of the Crew. Dwight Hall claimed Magee as Vice President, 
 Twichell as Secretary, and P. T. White as Librarian. Greene, 
 after corralling all ads east of the Rockies for the Courant, 
 became Assistant Business Manager, and the News, after 
 taking Hall and Squire on the Board, organized with H. R. 
 Wilson, Chairman ; Perrin, Business Manager ; Van Tassel, 
 Assignment Editor. Then, in a burst of frenzied oratory, 
 McClintock disposed of the Fence to the younger generation. 
 
 So passed Sophomore year. Try as a historian may, he can 
 only hope to call to mind certain events in a more or less 
 mechanical way. The true pleasures — the games at Mory's ; 
 the singing, summer evenings, on the Hutch steps ; and, above 
 all, the loyal friendships — these can live only in memory. And 
 may that memory ever be green ! In Freshman year we learned 
 what class spirit meant to a disunited mass of individuals. 
 Despite our separation during Sophomore year by a lack of 
 proper dormitory facilities, that spirit still survived, yea even 
 flourished. But most important of all, it developed into some- 
 
 —23— 
 
History of the Class of 1906. 
 
 thing larger — that indefinable something which we call "Yale 
 spirit," whose essence is, that when a man can, he must. 
 
 "The hours have struck that ne'er shall come again, 
 We hear the great world calling and we go ; 
 God help us to make good in thoughts like men 
 And manly action, what to Yale we owe." 
 
 Chester Burrows Van Tassel.

 As the weaver from his machine sees only the warp and 
 woof of a tapestry and knows not the pattern on which the 
 beholder gazes, so Junior year, or any other period of college 
 experience, appears much differently to us now that we are 
 gazing on this collection of retrospects known as the Senior 
 Class History, than it did when those events were in the making. 
 To pursue the simile still farther, as each beholder gains 
 different impressions from the same design, some declaring 
 that color rich which others consider tawdry, some being led 
 afar into fields of imagination while others find nothing but 
 an unsuggestive outline, so Junior year has left a different 
 impress on each one of us. 
 
 However different these impressions may have been, it is 
 in the deep underlying experience which was common to us 
 all, that Yale life owes most of its value. All the familiar 
 Yale lessons which preceding classes have learned, and which, 
 let us hope, will be instilled into classes to come, were more 
 deeply felt in Junior year, I take it, than in any other year. 
 Though for a harrowing while we were apt to place too much 
 stress on personalities, looking more for manner than achieve- 
 ment in our classmates, and trusting more to promise than to 
 performance, yet at the end of Junior year we all felt that 
 Yale, indeed, had led us up to all the promise of Senior year 
 that had been made to us by those who had already tasted of 
 its joys. 
 
 —25— 
 
Junior Year. 
 
 Just why it is that Junior year receives from successive 
 classes fewer votes than any other for the most enjoyable 
 year of the course, is a reason which we believed to be inherent 
 in certain things peculiar to Yale. Nevertheless, we all feel 
 that the lesson in democracy, in fair judgment of our fellows, in 
 seeking for the things which run deep and overlooking the 
 externals, are indeed cheaply purchased at the price of any 
 heartburnings enduring but for a minute. 
 
 The first occasion on which the Class gathered together in 
 Junior year was on October 12, when after waits enlivened 
 by the Codille harmony whose sweet music was just beginning 
 to cast its spell through the Class, the Junior Prom. Committee 
 was elected as follows: B. D. Smith, chairman; J. A. Steven- 
 son, floor manager ; S. Turner, E. White, W. S. Moorhead, 
 J. G. Magee, G. Ely, H. R. Wilson and D. A. McGee. On 
 October 26, the Class made a notable reform, by voting to 
 allow Sheff. representation on the Prom. Committee. This 
 change will mean much to the future life of the University. 
 
 Saturday, November 12, we journeyed down to Princeton, 
 the wise ones with ham sandwiches in their pockets, to see 
 Yale defeat our ancient friends from New Jersey by the 
 gentlemanly score of 12 to o, — decisive but not exultant. 
 Saturday, November 19, we put away thoughts of such meagre 
 things as ham sandwiches, and entertained our fair friends 
 with hot birds and such, while our triumphant team again 
 insisted on the propriety of 12 to o as the correct score, and 
 Harvard provided the object lesson. On that team none was 
 more famous, more admired for his playing, nor more talked 
 about by the girls, than our own Tom Shevlin, unless it was 
 that Prince Henry of Navarre who needed no helmet to act as 
 an oriflamme when plunging in the thickest of the fray — the 
 Napoleon of football, Foster Rockwell. Two other Juniors who 
 donned the sacred "Y" for the first time were Rex Flinn and 
 Lydig Hoyt. The submerged eleventh at the bottom of the 
 pile, who nobly bore the brunt of the season's development, 
 had for members from our Class, Erwin, Heaton, Leggett, Mills, 
 Stevenson, Turner, Twichell, P. White, MacKay, Prendergast 
 and Schermerhorn. 
 
 The aforesaid Rockwell no sooner deserted the turf of the 
 football field than he struck the boards of the basketball floor. 
 
 —27— 
 
Junior Year. 
 
 With Humpstone, Anderson, Barrows, Jamison, Fawley, Leg- 
 gett, Ogle, Barton, Weyman, Reed, and Monzani he began 
 trying for that wonderful Christmas trip through the hospita- 
 ble South. It may not be out of place to say right here that 
 on March 23 the basketball team wound up a successful season 
 by electing Rockwell captain. From a mere hankering to go 
 on the Southern trip, to captain in the same year shows what 
 strict training will do for a man in basketball. 
 
 Leaving the athletic for the aesthetic, we note that on 
 
 THE JUNIOR PROMENADE COMMITTEE. 
 
 Tuesday, December 13, the French Club produced, in College 
 Street Hall, Moliere's play, "George Dandin," with notable 
 success. C. E. Andrews and F. H. Markoe, Jr., were leading 
 members of the cast, while J. B. Brinsmade as assistant man- 
 ager contributed largely to the success. 
 
 On Monday, December 12, occurred the one loss from our 
 ranks of Junior year. Stanleigh Winslow Macgurn died on 
 the afternoon of that day at the infirmary from appendicitis. 
 That respect for his personality spread as far as his acquaint- 
 ance was but natural in view of his manliness and simplicity of 
 character.

History of the Class of 1906. 
 
 After everybody had recovered the use of his right fore- 
 arm from the hearty greetings and ''Bully, thank you. How 
 was yours?" which was not peculiar to Junior year, on return- 
 ing from vacation, the Class settled down to give the best 
 Prom, which Yale has ever had. So all the papers said that 
 year, and so they say every year ; but we all know which year 
 really was the best. "Settled down'' to do itself proud at the 
 Prom, is hardly the correct phrase, however, any more than it 
 is to say that a duck has to settle down to get along in the 
 water. If ever a class took to fussing like George Alden to 
 football, that class was 1906 in its Junior year. With char- 
 acteristic enterprise the committee had contrived, through the 
 kindness of Mrs. Thomas G. Bennett, to have the Junior tea held 
 in what is probably the handsomest residence in New Haven. 
 The Prom, concert on January 24 served to give us a pardon- 
 able sense of pride in our classmates, when we discovered to 
 our astonishment that the cards hurled from the Freshmen 
 above were sad recasts of the original wit which we had once 
 hurled at 1904. On the 24th came the great event. Those 
 who were there are glad of it, those who were not there are 
 sorry for the omission. That ought to make the problem of 
 whether we are going to have a Prom, or not, easy to coming 
 classes. 
 
 Just whether one of our most popular classmates was really 
 one of us or not, was a question which had been troubling the 
 football authorities much since the close of the season. Their 
 trouble, however, was solely because of the nicety in the tech- 
 nical question involved, not at all because our class lacked 
 extraordinary material for any honor which Yale football may 
 bring with it. The question which had been troubling the 
 football authorities was settled in a manner distinctly Yale- 
 like, and the record of Captain Shevlin, who was elected on 
 January 25 of the Junior year, has left a notable impress on 
 the list of things done well according to the Yale standard. 
 With a green team, and, — but why relate history or chronicle 
 opinion which are common to everyone acquainted with the 
 record of the Yale football team under Captain Tom Shevlin. 
 
 On January 27, new honor was brought to 456 Fayerweather 
 when the other roommate, Bruce Smith, was elected captain 
 of the golf team. On the same date one of the old familiar

 characters of Yale tradition passed away — "Pop" Smith, who 
 even in his failing years had made himself a familiar char- 
 acter to us, will follow a Yale team through no more sea- 
 sons. With his death, even though we were so much less 
 acquainted with him than had been preceding classes, we 
 felt that Yale had lost one of the figures who, though singly 
 almost strangers to us, yet collectively stood for Yale tradi- 
 tion and all that it implies. 
 
 Though the Berkeley Oval, once known to fame, had been

 cut up into building lots, the Codilles soon revived the name 
 by giving the local circus an entirely new fame. What with 
 foolish bands and queer processions, life on the oval became 
 a seat at a perpetual three-ring circus. That flippancy might 
 not seem to reign supreme, mysterious wires were strung from 
 White to Berkeley and along window ledges on both sides. 
 Business was conducted on strictly modern methods, and many 
 of us rooming near some "Central" station found it necessary 
 to pull wires to keep np with the push. Some of the wires 
 were attached to telegraphic instruments, whose owners per-

 haps foresaw that next season even the football team will be

 On Monday, February 20, the Class honored the following 
 five men with places on the Lit. board, who shortly after their 
 election organized as follows : John N. Greely, chairman ; 
 D. Bruce, financial editor ; J. H. Wallis, book reviews ; John 
 S. Newberry, memorabilia ; S. M. Harrington, editor's table.

 change of having a separate competition for the business 
 managership. 
 
 After having played victoriously the entire season the hockey 
 team with a Junior captain and manager lost, through Har- 
 vard, an exciting game at St. Nicholas Rink on February 18 
 by a score of 7 to 1. Just what the team as well as the whole 
 University thought of our captain was shown on March 9, 
 when Rex Flinn was unanimously re-elected captain. Need- 
 less to say he immediately reappointed as manager, Goodyear. 
 Other Juniors who distinguished themselves on the team were 
 Marcus and Rowland.

 Those of us who who were fortunate enough to have been 
 at the News banquet on March 10 well know how much of 
 inspiration was derived on that occasion. 
 
 April 5, 6, 7 saw what was perhaps the best production the 
 Dramatic Association ever gave, A. W. Pinero's play, "The 
 Magistrate." L. H. Tooker and F. H. Markoe, Jr., scored 
 decisively in two of the leading female parts. 
 
 On April io, Linonia gave over its welfare for the coming 
 year to the following Juniors: C. H. Banks, H. Beal, L. O. 
 Bergh, D. Bruce, G. Ely, C. W. Goodyear Jr., A. B. Gregory, 
 I. S. Hall, W. P. Hall, E. S. Mills, W. S. Moorhead, F. 
 O'Brien, L. J. Perrin, F. H. Rockwell, M. B. Sands, J. A. Stev- 
 enson, S. Turner, J. H. Twichell, E. White, and H. R. Wilson. 
 The ceremony took the form of a banquet, and those who were 
 gastronomic as well as wise were able to take in also the 
 Dramatic Association's banquet across the street at the Tont. 
 
 On April 14, L. O. Bergh won the Ten Eyck prize in the 
 Junior competition with a paper on "1904 in Colorado." 
 The other contestants were : H. Beal and C. Greene, both of 
 whom wrote on "Tenement House Reform" ; C. B. Van 
 Tassel, "Mazzini" ; and A. L Westcott, "Sam Houston." 
 Continuing along the intellectual line, let us chronicle the work 
 of the debating team. On December 12, it had won the 
 Princeton debate in Xew Haven with a team on which Bergh 
 served as alternate. The previous year had seen that vara 
 avis, an Academic man on a debating team, and this year was 
 to be no exception. Our class broke a long record in furnish- 
 ing such a man. 
 
 May 5, however, Harvard won the debate at Cambridge, 
 thereby giving the critics a chance to make comparison of 
 Harvard brain and Yale brawn. 
 
 The springtime, however, is associated in the minds of most 
 all of us with out-of-doors. Sailing, tennis and golf divide 
 with the major sports of track, baseball and rowing most of 
 our time. The former have given rise to many of the 
 pleasantest memories which we hold of the year, while the 
 latter have always been made at Yale a source of the utmost 
 benefit and pleasure. 
 
 In track the Class has never been represented by very many 
 members. In the relay games held on April 29th Yale made 
 
 — 3.V-

 a most remarkable record, winning the one and two-mile relay 
 races and losing the four-mile event to Michigan by a bare 
 two yards. Shevlin and B. Moore were the only Juniors. 
 Previous to this, however, on April 15, the Juniors had won 
 the Inter-Class Meet. Injudicious people might whisper that 
 the points were supplied by Sheff. Juniors, but that is no 
 fact to be mentioned in this book. On Saturday, May 13, the 
 track team journeyed down to Princeton for their annual prac- 
 tice, winning this time by a score of 80 to 24. B. Moore won 
 second in the 880 yards run, Shevlin second in the hammer 
 throw and P. White first in the shot put. The following 
 Saturday Stevenson and P. White both won their "Ys," the 
 former winning second in the high hurdle and the latter second 
 in the shot put. Shevlin also secured second in the hammer 
 throw. Yale was again victorious by a score of 65% to 
 38^5. At the Intercollegiates we lost the meet, as the world 
 knows, by 2^2 points. But the world does not know that the 
 only apparent reason for the loss is that Mike Murphy passed 
 a nigger funeral on his way down to the Trials, Friday. It 
 was on that Saturday that we first learned that Yale athletic 
 teams were to lose their guide, philosopher and friend. Shev- 
 lin won third place in the hammer-throw in the Intercollegiate 
 Meet. 
 
 The crew started its official season with the Spring Regatta on 
 the 13th of May. Though our club crew defeated the Seniors, 
 we lost in the final heat in the championship race to the 1908 
 third crew. On the Annapolis crew, which according to tele- 
 scopic searches through the fog was defeated, Weeks pulled 
 his usual strong oar. When the crews went up to New Lon- 
 don, Chase, Weeks, W. D. Harris and Low went along with 
 them. The part taken by these men in the final race of the 
 year, when one of the best crews Harvard ever had was 
 defeated, is too well known to need chronicling. 
 
 Amid all the proud stories of Yale athletics, there is none 
 which we like more to linger over than that of the baseball 
 team of 1905. The team that can come back after an 18 to 2 
 defeat by Princeton is worthy of the highest possible praise. 
 On that team none was more distinguished for steady play- 
 ing than Frank O'Brien, who at the close of the season was 
 unanimously elected captain. Bruce Smith and Erwin also 
 
 —34— 
 
Junior Year. 
 
 played their parts as befitted members of such a team. Scores 
 that should be printed indelibly on every Yale mind are the 
 3 to 2 and the 8 to 5 victories over Princeton and that wonder- 
 ful tie game followed by the winning of the baseball champion- 
 ship when Harvard was defeated 7 to 2, on June 27 at the 
 Commencement game. 
 
 Along with Commencement came some of our happiest 
 memories of Yale. The laments of Seniors that they had not, 
 like us, yet another year, made us realize that these gladdest 
 are just as truly, the shortest years of life. For the first time, 
 perhaps, we began to look at past years at Yale in the golden 
 haze of perspective which will predominate in the future. 
 Then it is that events assume their personal true proportion ; 
 the trivial becomes the important, and the commonplace, once 
 of seeming prominence, finds its true level. If this short 
 sketch may furnish a palette, however imperfect, from which 
 each may sketch his own recollection, then its mission will 
 have been fulfilled. 
 
 Such thoughts began to come to us for the first time at the 
 end of Junior year. But we did not consider them so earnestly 
 then as now, for our minds were turned to another year in 
 the spot where we had first learned to appreciate one another. 
 
 "For joy of one day's voyage more, 
 We sang together on the wide sea, 
 Like men at peace on a peaceful shore." 
 
 Merrill Burr Sands. 
 
Last scene of all 
 
 As many men grown old and knowing the sure approach of 
 death act with more kindliness towards their relatives, friends 
 and acquaintances, so we, in Senior year, knowing the sure 
 parting that comes soon, find the time only too short for fellow- 
 feeling and friendship. We are about to make the great 
 plunge — "We are going away, but before we go, we have some- 
 thing to say" to each other. We say it in Senior year. It is 
 only then we can say it. It is only in Senior year that the rest 
 from struggle begins for most of us. It may be a flaw in our 
 system that true democracy cannot exist until three years have 
 passed, but more than likely the flaw is in us and the com- 
 plaint could be made under any system. All we knozv is that 
 there is good feeling and democracy in Senior year, and that 
 the last college year is the best of college life. We have felt 
 this year a little inclined to cease troubling about the problems 
 which we have not solved. We have tried to do our duty, but, 
 after the first few months of Senior year, surely we had done 
 our share. Now, especially that the year is nearly over, we 
 feel that we deserve a little rest — a little loafing — and much of 
 hearty fellowship. 
 
 Every class, of course, has the inviolable right to think itself 
 the best that ever existed. There is no use in disputing this 
 point; the "grand old class" idea is as firmly lodged in 
 the soul of every true Yale man as a fossil Brachiopod or any 
 other pod in its surrounding rock. When this conviction is 
 backed up by facts, it is a noble spirit ; in other cases, it is 
 
 -36-

 merely amusing. Of course, in the class of IQ05, such spirit 
 was altogether pitiable. We should be the last to sneer at 
 them for it ; we extend our sympathy instead. Now, in our 
 case, — 
 
 Well if there are any doubts, consider first the football sea- 
 son last fall. The prospects were decidedly blue ; all the 
 papers said so. In spite of this, Shevlin went right ahead with 
 the work, until Yale had one of, if not the most powerful 
 offensive teams ever seen on the gridiron. Every opponent met

 defeat and Yale's clear title to the championship was estab- 
 lished by the Princeton game, twenty-three to four, and the 
 Harvard game six to nothing. Everything was blue then, too. 
 Our Senior representation — Flinn, Hoyt, P. C. Smith, Steven- 
 son, Turner (dare we say Erwin?) and Shevlin — must be given 
 the main credit for the victory ; but the conscientious work of 
 Rockwell must not be forgotten. His work was a great factor 
 of the team's success. The team, for its wonderful spirit and 
 success, and the captain for his leadership of such a team, we 
 shall be proud to remember. The excellent work of the cheer 
 
 —37—

 leaders, B. D. Smith, A. W. Andrews and Dousman, must not 
 be left unnoticed. 
 
 In the other branches of athletics we have been, or will be, 
 well represented this year. In hockey Yale barely lost the 
 championship to Harvard. Captain Flinn, Marcus and Row- 
 land were the 1906 representatives on the team. Three of this 
 year's basket-ball team, — Captain Rockwell, Humpstone and E. 
 A. Anderson — are of our class. But the less said about a painful 
 subject, the better. Let us not open a healed wound. Though

 at the time of the present writing the track meets, baseball 
 games and boat races are yet to be, we hope for the best, and 
 feel sure 1906 will do its part. In tennis, Field has upheld 
 the honor of the class. He and his partner were runners-up 
 in the championship doubles. 
 
 In other lines may be mentioned the Christmas trip of the 
 musical clubs which, this year, was remarkably successful. 
 Stevenson's management was responsible for the large surplus — 
 a consummation devoutly to be wished, but rarely attained. 
 Sprague, Arms, Turner, Walcott, A. W. Andrews, Kocher-

 sperger, Mills, Brinsmade, McGee, Ely and Dickinson were the 
 1906 members of the Glee Club, and Dustin, Banks, Field, 
 Bruce, W. D. Harris and Westcott of the Mandolin and Banjo 
 Clubs. 
 
 The Pundits have been, perhaps, more active than usual this 
 year. Under their auspices, Dr. Root gave a lecture on the 
 preceptorial system at Princeton, and Professor Phelps, on 
 March 6, the centennial anniversary of the birth of Mrs. 
 Browning, delivered a lecture on the life and work of the great

 poetess. In debating, there is no 1906 representative, that is, 
 on the team which is to meet Harvard. Bergh is one of the 
 alternates and narrowly missed a position on the team. Phi 
 Beta Kappa has made a good move in creating a committee of 
 information to meet personally all men who have a reasonable 
 chance of election to the society. It is hoped by explaining 
 the aims of Phi Beta Kappa and the benefits to be derived from 
 it, that scholarship will be improved in the college. Professor 
 Wheeler delivered again his famous Waterloo lecture under 
 the auspices of the society.

 The play to be given by the Dramatic Association is Shake- 
 speare's Henry IV, Part L The Seniors in the cast are Van 
 Tassel, Brooks, Wescott, Prendergast, and La Vie. Steven- 
 son is president of the Association and I. S. Hall is manager. 
 Brinsmade is stage manager. The plays given by Le Cercle 
 Francais this year were "Le Baron de Fonrchevif" and 
 "L'Avocat Patelin." Their performance on January 20th was 
 a decided success. Before ending this paragraph, the unusual 
 bustle and enthusiasm of the whist team must be mentioned, 
 and what an inspiration it is to see the gigantic Dunlap and the 
 redoubtable Koehler leading off with their lefts. 
 
 The prosperity of the magazines this year has been remark- 
 able, at least in a financial way. The Lit. under the masterly 
 management of Bruce has even surpassed the Courant in pages 
 of advertisement, which is saying a great deal when Greene's 
 business energy is considered. The proposition to bind the 
 ads. under a separate cover has been indignantly rejected by 
 both magazines. The Lit/s competition for business manager, 
 a sixth place on the board without the honor of Chi Delta 
 Theta, was started under the regime of the nineteen-six board 
 and has proved a success. In literary merit, the Lit. has main- 
 tained its usual excellence. The Chi Delta Theta competition 
 was fair ; triangles were awarded to Clarke and Wescott. 
 The proper literary reputation for logical action was maintained 
 by Newberry. On one occasion, being under some financial 
 strain, he sold a new twelve dollar set of books at Judd's for 
 six dollars. On the way to the door with his treasure, he was 
 struck with the beauty of an eight-dollar set, which he pur- 
 chased, paid for, and went out smiling. The Courant has made 
 a decided improvement in interest and style over last year. 
 The glories of the News should not be forgotten ; its column 
 "The World at Large," its increased size, its conscious and 
 unconscious humor and its literary merit are greatly appreci- 
 ated. The nineteen-six board has really done a great work. 
 The Record, it is alleged, has been very good this year. 
 
 The elections of class officers and committees were held in 
 the austere and dignified manner which has been a character- 
 istic of our class in its seniority. The meetings opened with 
 restrained and almost religious cheers for chairman Wilson, 
 after which the solemn strains of "King, King," vibrated 
 
 —42— 
 
Senior Year. 
 
 musically through the meeting room. In such a serious pro- 
 cedure were our officers chosen. Fowler was elected Secre- 
 tary ; Wallis, Poet ; Perrin, Orator. The Class Day Committee 
 is composed of Dustin (chairman), Borden, Chase, Moorhead 
 and E. White. The sparkling McClintock was elected His- 
 torian. MacKay, for his gastronomic powers, was chosen 
 chairman of the Supper Committee, with Sturges, Hall, Flinn 
 and Gorham for assistants. The Triennial Committee is Per- 
 rin (chairman), Cowles, Flanders, Brinsmade and Grant. The 
 class showed its discriminating ability in electing Ely (chair- 
 man), Shevlin and Clarke to the Cup Committee. The Ivy 
 Committee is Rockwell (chairman), Wilson and Magee ; the 
 Cap and Gown Committee, Eddy (chairman), Goodyear, and 
 Cooke ; the Picture Committee, McGee, Thatcher and Fusser 
 Gurley. Later the Academic Seniors on the Senior Prom. 
 Committee were elected as follows: Rockwell (chairman), 
 Andrews, Flanders, Dustin, Goodyear, Gregory and Dousman. 
 Of new works accomplished or attempted this year by the 
 class of nineteen-six, the organization of college city govern- 
 ment clubs and their amalgamation in one central body is the 
 most important. This is a movement which seems sure of 
 good results, — far-reaching results. A great deal of credit is 
 due to the men who have made the movement a success. The 
 trip to Washington made by the delegates of the different col- 
 leges, and the cordial and informal reception tendered them by 
 President Roosevelt, gave a stimulus to the work of the clubs. 
 Moorhead, Wilson and Dodge were the Seniors who took 
 the trip. Moorhead's election to the presidency of the 
 united clubs was a fitting acknowledgment of his work in 
 the movement. Of the works unfinished but attempted by our 
 class this year, the proposed system of Freshman clubs is the 
 most important, and if carried out, the most beneficial. In 
 brief, it was proposed that the whole Freshman class should 
 make up one club which should be divided into four smaller 
 clubs. The smaller clubs were to have separate meeting rooms, 
 while for the whole organization there was to be a main hall 
 with a stage at one end. A restaurant, and billiard and pool 
 tables, were also intended. The club rooms were to be in the 
 basement of Dwight Hall, but this plan was found impracti- 
 cable. At present nothing is being done, but it is hoped that in 
 
 —43— 
 
History of the Class of 1906. 
 
 the near future these plans will be carried out. The good 
 effects that would follow from organization proposed are 
 manifest. 
 
 In closing a history of Senior year it may be proper to cast 
 a glance toward the future. We look on ourselves while under- 
 graduates as more truly Yale men than we shall be in the 
 future. We naturally think now that when college life ends 
 we lose in considerable degree our purity of Yaleness — become 
 somewhat less Yale men. The outside world does not think 
 so. When we leave here, our external influence as Yale men 
 begins. We become Yale's representatives at the courts of the 
 world. Yale will be judged by us. If we love our college, 
 we must maintain her fair name by our lives. Let us think of 
 ourselves after graduation as more Yale men than ever, men 
 exerting an influence from Yale and for Yale. Let us make 
 our influence the more felt by keeping ever with us the true 
 Yale spirit of determination, but determination regulated by 
 honor and fair dealing toward all men.

NECROLOGY 
 
 Stanleigh Winslow Macgurn was born in Toronto, 
 Canada, on October 27, 1884, the son of Foster Mac- 
 gurn, an insurance agent, and Fannie (Raiford) Mac- 
 gurn. His preparation was at Detroit Grammar 
 and High Schools, Hyde Park High School, Chicago, 
 and at Thacher School. Macgurn's residence when he 
 entered Yale was Oswego, N. Y., and at the time of 
 his death it was Milwaukee, Wis. In Freshman year 
 he roomed at 192 York Street and 333 York Street, 
 in Sophomore year with H. L. Ward at 172 Farnam, 
 and in Junior year with Ward and J. L. Fawley at 
 256 Lawrance. Macgurn was active in religious work, 
 being a member of the Oak Street Boys' Club Com- 
 mittee Freshman year. He sang second bass on the 
 Freshman Glee Club. During the fall term of Sopho- 
 more year he engaged in the News Competition. His 
 Junior appointment was a Second Colloquy. In 
 December of Junior year he was taken sick with 
 appendicitis, and died at the Yale Infirmary after a 
 very brief illness, on December 12, 1904. 
 
 His death came as a great 
 shock to his classmates, and 
 those who knew him best 
 realized how clean and sincere 
 a life had gone out. For in 
 Stanleigh Macgurn were ster- 
 ling qualities of character, 
 zeal for the right, the impulses 
 of praiseworthy purpose, a great 
 desire to play a man's part in 
 his college and in the world. 
 Life was sweet to him. By 
 his death our class and all Yale 
 have been made poorer.

Necrology 
 
 In these last days of our life as undergraduates, our 
 thoughts instinctively turn back to one whose sudden 
 death in Freshman year deprived us of a beloved com- 
 rade. Andrew Parker succumbed to a severe attack 
 of appendicitis on July 9, 1903, at Mifflintown, Pa. 
 Mifflintown had for some years been the summer home 
 of the family, and there Andrew was born February 1, 
 1883, to Edmund Southard Parker, president of the 
 National Metropolitan Citizens Bank of Washington, 
 D. C, and Mary Isabelle (Wilson) Parker. 
 
 After three years at Andover he completed his 
 preparation for college at Hotchkiss. It was at school 
 that many of us had the privilege and distinction of 
 his friendship. He added to a noble, cheerful, upright 
 character the most engaging personality. Open- 
 hearted, sympathetic, manly and generous, he won and 
 held the warm friendship of all with whom he came 
 in contact. He was loved for his clean, wholesome 
 nature ; admired for his knowledge of men and his 
 rare gift of leadership. 
 
 It was not given that he should graduate with us, 
 but when, in time to come, we look upon our college 
 days, and live over again its happy experiences, there 
 will stand out among the famil- 
 iar scenes the face of one whose 
 memory will live to be an endur- 
 ing inspiration.

 On the graduation of the Class the average age will be 22 
 years, 10 months and 6 days, or for the sake of those who are 
 •taking the course in statistics, it will be exactly 22 years, 10 
 months, 5 days, 14 hours, 24 minutes and 10 seconds. This 
 average compares very favorably with other classes. It is 
 2 months and 5 days less than the average of the Class of 1905, 
 
 —399— 
 
History of the Class of 1906. 
 
 and we must of course allow for the increase of average caused 
 by the number of men who joined our Class in Senior year, 
 having already graduated from other institutions. 1906 is 
 really a heavy-weight Class, although the average falls some- 
 what below 1905. From the rope-pulling contest in our Sopho- 
 more year we may deduce the fact that in more than one sense 
 "to the losers belong the pounds," for the average weight of 
 1905 was 15034, while our Class weighs in at 148^4. The 
 average height is 5 feet gy 2 inches, an increase of y 2 an inch 
 over that of the Class of 1905. Of course we of the Class of 
 1906, inbued with the "Grand Old Class" idea of which Friend 
 Wallis speaks (cf. page 36), dislike to draw this constant 
 comparison, but for statistical information it is necessary. The 
 figures for the Class of 1904 at graduation were, 22 years, 1 
 month and 21 days, and in weight 147^4 pounds. The average 
 height was 5 feet y T / 2 inches. Now comparing 1906 with the 
 last two graduating classes, we note that our age average is 
 higher than 1904 and lower than 1905. We out-weigh 1904 by 
 a little over a pound, but fall below the average of last year's 
 class. We are however a tall race and goodly, for we are taller 
 by 2 inches than 1904 and 1905 gives way to us by V 2 an inch. 
 
 Hughes, 45 years, 5 months and 5 days, is the oldest, and 
 Gow, 19 years, 9 months and 16 days, is the youngster of the 
 Class. Sixteen men in the Class are not yet old enough to 
 vote, while three have passed their thirtieth birthdays. In 1905 
 twenty graduated under 21 years and six men were over 30 
 years of age. 
 
 The heavy weights of the Class are Robertson and P. C. 
 Smith, each claiming 222 pounds. Kent and Heaton are tied 
 for second place with 220. Johnnie Dunlap, with his 6 feet 
 4.y 2 inches, could easily look down into the Herd and see how 
 the Devil got into it. Downing, 6 feet 4 inches, has only an 
 inch the advantage of Dimock, so that they too are heard from. 
 George and Lou Dole are the shortest men in the Class with 5 
 feet 2^4 inches and 5 feet 3^ inches to their credit, respec- 
 tively. A la the Yale News, these two brothers of Connecticut 
 Hall are far from being sufficiently tall, yet college men both 
 far and near do fear these wrestling brothers dear. A. H. 
 Clark and W. G. Robinson put in their claim for shortest men 
 
 — 400 —

 in the Class, — but the muse of the News refuses their 
 views. 
 
 Three-hundred and sixty men have been enrolled with the 
 Class. Two, Andrew Parker, son of E. Southard Parker, and 
 Stanleigh Winslow Macgurn, son of Foster Macgurn, have been 
 taken from us by death. Fifteen men have joined other classes 
 in the University, as follows : C. G. Curtis, B. P. Hamlin, W. C. 
 Johnson, H. R. Kellogg, T. P. Dixon, A G. Erwin, H. H. 
 Whittaker, J. L. Mitchell, T. G. Peck, J. A. Vietor and B. D. 
 York, all of whom are in the Academic Department ; A. Fulton, 
 G. B. Leggett and N. B. Mayo, who are in the Scientific School, 
 and M. N. Nahigan in the Medical School. Forty left college 
 before Senior year to represent 1906 in the bigger world. 
 
 Of the 303 men of the Class now in college, 227 are church 
 members, distributed among the various denominations as 
 follows : Episcopal 70, Presbyterian 48, Congregational 44, 
 Roman Catholic 15, Baptist 14, Methodist 13, Methodist Episco- 
 pal 4, Methodist Society 3, Disciples 3, New Jerusalem 2, 
 Cumberland Presbyterian 2, and Universalist, Evangelical, 
 Union, United Brethren, United Presbyterian, Missionary 
 Baptist, Lutheran, First Baptist, each 1. 
 
 Two hundred and eight men in the Class have decided, after 
 four years, that compulsory Chapel is good, while seven think 
 that it should be abolished. The general opinion of the Class 
 is that some compulsory Sunday service is necessary, and the 
 majority are in favor of the Chapel service ; some for its brevity, 
 but the greater number because of a real interest in the Chapel 
 preachers. The results for the favorite Chapel preacher are 
 Speer 101, Abbott 35, Rainsford 25, Hadley 24, Mott 17. About 
 a third of the Class have engaged in some religious work, either 
 in the college or at clubs where the main work is done by 
 college men. Yale Hall, the Bethany Mission, the Oak Street 
 Boys' Club and other organizations of similar nature, have had 
 the help of many men in the Class. 
 
 We will leave the votes which W. H. Harris secured for 
 greatest grind (12 in number), to the silent consideration of 
 Harris and the rest of the Class. We are surprised at the 
 lack of support which Harris received from his fellow members 
 in "Codille." Surely some bolted, who must ever after regret 
 their disloyalty.

History of the Class of 1906. 
 
 Barton is said to be the nerviest man in the Class, getting 69 
 votes ; McClintock coming second with 26. Barton is also 
 voted the most eccentric with 38 votes to 27 for Markoe. John 
 Magee received 52 votes as the most to be admired, and O'Brien 
 is thought by 28 to be the Class Pride. Shevlin (141) and 
 Perrin (28) have done most for Yale. John Stevenson and H. 
 Goodwin are the beauties of the Class, with 55 and 40 votes, 
 respectively. Bruce Smith easily is the most popular man, with 
 128 votes. Moorhead received 27. McClintock's witticisms 
 impressed 120, while Wurts' victims number only 25. Speak- 
 ing again of good looks, Ely is voted the handsomest with 53 
 votes ; Stevenson received 43. Moorhead and Van Tassel are 
 looked upon as most likely to succeed with 51 and 33 votes, 
 respectively. McClintock is certainly the most original, with 
 80 votes ; W. H. Harris and Markoe each receiving 14. Hoyt 
 is thought the greatest social light by 1 1 1 of the Class ; Bruce 
 Smith scored 46. Shevlin is the best all-round athlete with 
 268 votes. Bruce (73) and J. Stevenson (49) are the most 
 versatile men in the Class. Gurley, 37 votes, is easily the big- 
 gest fusser; Mills being second with 15. Sands (59) and 
 McClintock (26) are fair at bluffing.. Whitcomb (133) is the 
 best dressed man in the Class ; the other votes are scattered. 
 Frank Wilson and Hugh Diller are conspicuous for their meek- 
 ness, receiving 55 and 47 votes, respectively. Hannahs' class 
 nickname was confirmed by 66 men, who speak of him as 
 "Windy Hannahs," while Sands was second with 36 votes. 
 MacLane received 118 votes for ''Greatest Grind," leaving Gib- 
 son far behind with only 45. Dimock is the brightest man in the 
 Class, 67 votes to 45 for Bruce. MacKay received 107 votes 
 for the laziest, in spite of his campaign work in behalf of P. C. 
 Smith, who received 20. Smith pulled up for noisiest, how- 
 ever, and secured 45, while Twichell's Codille talk captured 
 43 votes ; Smith's talk is evidently "good natured," though, 
 for he secured 51 votes; Pleaton and MacKay were tied for 
 second with 17 votes. Banks is the hardest worker (31) ; Van 
 Tassel second (28). Van Tassel (48) and Cowles {28) are 
 the most energetic men in the Class. It is difficult to say who 
 is the most scholarly, since Bruce with 50 votes is only a small 
 margin ahead of Gow and Dimock, who are tied for second 
 with 45 votes each.

 Of the 253 men in the Class who use tobacco, 48 claim Bull 
 Durham as their favorite. One-hundred and fifty-one men in 
 the Class admit the use of drinks other than water, although 
 water was the favorite, receiving 76 votes, beer (34) was second 
 while whiskey had a hard time with all temperance drinks. In 
 the mix-up they each secured 18 votes. Twenty-eight men in 
 the Class were undecided as to whether wine or milk should 
 strengthen man's heart, the votes being evenly divided. 
 
 For the most popular college publication the following votes 
 are recorded: News, 163; Record, 50; the Lit., 16; while 
 for the most valuable the News received 173 votes, the Lit. 46, 
 and the Record 3. Two-hundred and nine men in the Class 
 would prefer to wear a Phi Beta Kappa key rather than a Lit. 
 Triangle (37 votes) or a News badge, which was considered by 
 35 men to be most desirable. 
 
 The Dining Hall has accommodated 252 of the Class at some 
 time during the course, the majority of whom say that it is 
 satisfactory. The minority vary from downright disapproval 
 to a tolerance "because of the great number of men served." 
 
 Princeton (143), Harvard (52) and Williams (21) are the 
 favorite colleges next to Yale. Yassar, Smith and Wellesley 
 modestly step forward with 12, 9 and 4 votes, respectively. 
 
 Our choice of professors reads as follows : Pleasant est 
 Professor — W. L. Phelps (60), Phillips (23), J. C. Adams 
 (15), W. B. Bailey (15); Brightest— W '. L. Phelps (101), 
 Lewis (29), Kreider (25) ; Favorite — W. L. Phelps (60), 
 Lewis (55) ; Most Polished — Lewis (161), Phelps (2y) ; Best 
 Teacher — Kreider (123) ; Best Lecturer — Wheeler (60), Lewis 
 
 (60). 
 
 The Class considers Senior year the brightest of these college 
 years, or at least 198 men present the majority opinion. The 
 lack of firm organization of "Codille" in our more youthful 
 days may possibly account for the 127 votes which are checked 
 up against Freshman year as the most disagreeable of our 
 college course. The fact that 150 men voted Freshman year the 
 hardest may account for that year being voted the most disa- 
 greeable. This is logically followed out when we note that 121 
 vote Senior year to be the easiest, Junior year following with y2 
 votes. Notwithstanding the fact that Junior and Senior years 
 
 —403— 
 
History of the Class of 1906. 
 
 are considered easier than the struggle of our first days at Yale, 
 we see that as upper classmen we come to a more real under- 
 standing of the courses offered us, and their value. Physics 
 and American Social Conditions are considered the most valuable 
 electives with 34 votes each. Twenty-nine men have obtained 
 more from their English courses, 28 consider Economics as 
 most valuable, and following these votes come Law courses 
 (20), History (iS). Physics with 53, and American Social 
 Conditions and the Course in Economics, each with 46 votes, 
 are considered by the Class the most practical electives. The 
 courses in Law received 36 votes. There seems to have been 
 a general understanding that since Physics received 53 votes for 
 the most practical elective, it must also be the most difficult, at 
 least the Class so voted. Mathematics (75), Greek (32) and 
 Latin (24), are the hardest of the required studies. Where 
 the Class has found the path easy is not at all in doubt ; 
 History (54) and the course in Biblical Literature (20) have 
 been the easiest targets which the Faculty have put up for our 
 Class. Of the courses that the Faculty have required us to 
 take, English (66) and French (28) have taken the least of our 
 time. 
 
 The tastes of the Class vary, but we must remember "De 
 gustibus non disputandum," and so when we find the votes for 
 favorite courses scattered over most all the elective pamphlet, 
 we can merely list them as far as possible. Nineteenth Century 
 Poets (31), Tennyson and Browning (29), Professor Lewis' 
 course in Shakespeare (21), American Social Conditions (20). 
 
 There are 115 men in the Class who think that we should 
 follow the example of Harvard and make Greek an absolutely 
 elective course. 
 
 A total of 252 consented to mention their political leanings, 
 distributed as follows: Republican, 177; Democratic, 34; 
 Independent, 25 ; Mugwump, 10 ; Prohibitionist, 5 ; Social- 
 ist, 1. 
 
 At the end of a four years' college course, especially when that 
 college is Yale, it is interesting to us who are about to graduate, 
 and possibly to those in the classes under us, to see what each 
 of three hundred men obtains from such a course. The ques- 
 tion arises even in our Freshman year, as to whether scholarship, 
 
 —404— 
 
Statistical. 
 
 close application to study, and some digging and grinding, are 
 worth more to the man than the associations, the friends and 
 the broadening of a college education. At the beginning of 
 Freshman year possibly each one of us made a choice as to 
 which path he considered the surest to success, not financially 
 or socially speaking, but using the word success in its greater 
 meaning, the successful effect of our work on ourselves. For 
 the most valuable thing obtained from the college course, we 
 find that 160 votes show that the friends and general associa- 
 tions are of most value. Twenty-five state definitely that they 
 have obtained a wider knowledge of men, while eleven have 
 gained self-reliance. We find that eighteen of the Class con- 
 sider that the educational advantages have been the greatest 
 help. 
 
 As we find that the acquaintances and friendships made are 
 thought to have been the most valuable effect of our four years 
 at Yale, naturally we find also that democracy and good fellow- 
 ship lead in the vote for "the most prominent characteristics" 
 of the Class. We can safely count the 4 votes for "Codille" as 
 being a sub-heading for good fellowship. Athletic ability 
 received 20 votes, while 9 men believe that the high morals of 
 the Class make tip its claim to prominence.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE CLASS VOTE. 
 
 Oh help me, Muse, to sing a ditty 
 
 Of things which happened in this city, 
 
 Yclept by some to be a town 
 
 (Though known to be of great renown) ! 
 
 I call it town or city either 
 
 Because it makes no difference neither. 
 
 Its railroad-map name is Noo Haven, 
 
 But folks what know, know that its Yalen. 
 
 Well, anyhow, in this old College, 
 
 Most noted for Sol'monic knowledge, 
 
 There wus a Class, called Nawty-Six, 
 
 Close on to all the learned tricks, — 
 
 Nose on the trail and tail vibrating, 
 
 It had a supra-classic rating. 
 
 Its nick-name was Pheu Betta Kribba, 
 
 Which means, "Oi flunko niver, niver !" 
 
 One day this Class was all assembled 
 
 (Whereat the Dean and all Profs, trembled!) 
 
 To vote a few on those, by name 
 
 Most noted of the Class's fame. 
 
 And mark you, now, since I was there, — 
 
 Why I was made the Secretaire ! 
 
 And in a manner sage and hoary 
 
 I took it down this way, be gory : 
 
 Beedee Smith Most Popular's 
 
 When quoting Homeric copulars, 
 
 Or else when arguing profane 
 
 Dutch triplets with our Grind MacLane. 
 
 And now for Deacons the Class voted 
 
 And chose the holiest-most-noted ; 
 
 Hank Damon, H. F. Damon, both fine laymen, 
 
 And Henry Damon and Hen Damon. 
 
 Then Warner, telephonic pale, 
 
 Was voted as "Dunned Most for Yale." 
 
 Sands was the Most to be admired : — 
 
 Th' Dean only knows why he's not fired ! 
 
 Alf Thorn, inexorable Kusser, 
 
 Of course was voted the Class Fusser; 
 
 But some maintained, as worser still, 
 
 That Erwin was Most Versatile. 
 
 Then Windy Hannahs did attest 
 
 There was but one the Wittiest, — 
 
 His friend, Stew Glazier, took first place 
 
 Because he'd such a funny face. 
 
 ■ — 406 — 
 
The Class then nobly did its duty 
 
 And voted Terry Tileston, Beauty, 
 
 Though someone slanderingly attainted 
 
 And claimed he'd heard that Terry painted. 
 
 Then Dimock was proclaimed the Brightest 
 
 Because he is by no means lightest, 
 
 Though Higgins laid a claim to it 
 
 Because, said he, "I'm mostly lit" ; 
 
 Right here, John Greely threw a fit, 
 
 Crying, "Heavens, Hig! Why I'm the Lit!" 
 
 With further satire the Class voted 
 
 (And thereat one and all they hooted). 
 
 Most Energetic was Van Tassel 
 
 Who quaffs by hogsheads Brooklyn* wassail. 
 
 Ralph Wescott, Barton, and Markoe 
 
 Together make the Class's Zoo : 
 
 For most Eccentric all three ran 
 
 And Barton proved the craziest man. 
 
 Ralph and Markoe were minor factors ; 
 
 Though both tried hard, they were but actors. 
 
 Frank Wilson was the Meekest Man (?) 
 
 ('Tis strange with his bold cheeks of tan!): 
 
 This post — with grace Riggs would embue it, 
 
 Yet was so meek that no one knew it. 
 
 For Athlete, Hunt and Shev, a-race, 
 
 Strained hard and Shevlin won first place. 
 
 Phil's doctor said he had "heart-fluttering" 
 
 Caused by his long and frequent stuttering ; 
 
 Though all know well he could say "thistle"' 
 
 If he would only wet his whistle. 
 
 Our favorite Pome, Rushing the Bar, 
 
 My Lord T. wrote t' be popular : 
 
 But Dunlap's "gizzard was unstirred" — 
 
 For poems he is just the bird! 
 
 Lord T. and Wallis are not in it 
 
 When J. G. thrums his lyric spinnet. 
 
 When asked its favorite drink, the Class 
 
 For very shame cried out "Alas !" 
 
 And Deacon Damon rose to say 
 
 "Sweet Gentles, come now, let us spray!'' 
 
 Oh shame the thought ! In red September 
 
 Of Freshman year, you will remember, 
 
 Unless you've mental aberration, 
 
 We took our pledge from Carrie Nation. 
 
 And last we chose our Favorite Song, 
 
 "Oh let me grind the whole day long!"

 four have entirely paid their expenses, while of the remaining 
 seventy-one a third have paid more than a half of the cost for 
 the four years. The many different ways of earning money 
 may well be listed as definitely showing that the ambition, and 
 energy, of the college man is very much alive. Subscription 
 work for various papers, editing of papers, acting as motormen 
 on street railways, organ and piano playing, tutoring and teach- 
 ing, canvassing of various kinds, acting as insurance agent, 
 hotel clerk, waiting on table, surveying, tending furnace, shovel- 
 ing snow, reporting for newspapers, farming, and driving 
 delivery wagons are some of those mentioned. One man in 
 the Class, during one year of college, tended furnace, shoveled 
 snow, reported for newspaper and waited on table. The highest 
 amount spent by any one member of the Class during a college 
 year was $7,550, the lowest $100. It might be interesting to 
 note here that the man spending the first amount received no 
 appointment when Junior Scholarship Appointments were 
 announced. The man whose item was $100 for the year received 
 a First Colloquy. One hundred and thirteen men in the Class 
 averaged over $1,000 a year, that is 50 per cent, of the men 
 who estimated their expenses. Thirty-eight men or 16 per 
 cent, averaged under $500 a year. 
 
 In tabulating the amounts spent it may be more interesting 
 to compare the averages distinguishing between the various 
 Junior Appointments, that is, the amounts spent by those men 
 receiving high appointments as compared with the yearly cost 
 of living to those men who received the lower appointments. 
 Before giving such a table it may be mentioned that the greatest 
 total expense for the four years was $17,750 (from a man who 
 received no Junior Appointment) and the lowest $550 (a First 
 Colloquy Appointment man).

Financial. 
 
 Two hundred and twenty-six men handed in estimates of 
 
 their expenses for the four years, and they are divided among 
 the appointments as follows : 
 
 No. of Meu Appointment Freshmen Sophomore Junior Senior 
 
 io Phil. Oration $ 760.00 $ 773-00 $ 680.00 $ 775-00 
 
 15 High Oration 929.00 961.00 1,001.00 1,085.00 
 
 14 Oration 673.00 754-QO 895.00 843.00 
 
 11 Dissertation 799-00 822.00 923.00 920.00 
 
 13 First Dispute 688.00 767.00 785-00 877.00 
 
 15 Second Dispute . . . 927.00 9!3-00 923.00 1,075.00 
 27 First Colloquy .... 976.00 1,022.00 1,151.00 1,158.00 
 26 Second Colloquy . . 1,108.00 1,206.00 1,321.00 1,341.00 
 95 No Appointment . . 1,000.00 1,065.00 1,162.00 1,212.00 
 
 226 Average $942.00 $996.00 $1,081.00 $1,127.00 
 
 Upon looking over these figures it may be seen that in each 
 case the highest amount spent is in the accounts of the twenty- 
 six men who received a Second Colloquy Appointment. The 
 next highest amounts are those of the men who received no Jun- 
 ior Appointment. If we take the averages for the four years, we 
 find that of the Philosophical Orations to be $731 a year, and the 
 average for the lowest appointment men $1,244. An average 
 yearly expense table for the four years would read as follows : 
 
 No. of Men Appointment Average 
 
 26 Second Colloquy $1,244.00 
 
 95 No Junior Appointment 1,110.00 
 
 27 First Colloquy 1,078.00 
 
 15 High Oration 994-00 
 
 15 Second Dispute 960.00 
 
 1 1 Dissertation 866.00 
 
 14 Oration 791.00 
 
 13 First Dispute 779.00 
 
 10 Philosophical Oration 73 1 00 
 
 226 Average $1,037.00 
 
 It may be that the men who are not inclined to study take 
 more time for amusement and pleasure ; it may possibly be that 
 the men who cannot afford frequent theatres are more or less 
 forced to their books. 
 
 The average by years is lower than the average expense of 
 the Class of 1905. The four years average of $4,146 is lower 
 than the four years average either of the Class of 1905 ($4,270), 
 or the Class of 1904 ($4,369). These figures show that Yale is 
 not becoming a rich man's college, and we may well consider 
 this decrease as a healthy symptom.
