FINANCIAL. Twenty-nine men have engaged in occupations more or less remunerative. Some men have tried several, as Bowers, for instance, who would like to know of one which he has not tried. Levy has been a photographer for thirteen years--the longest period probably that any of us has spent in one held. Bon- sall regretfully calls to mind some speculations in real estate which did not turn out well. Bosley and Farrell have each taught school for several years, the former being on the Yale College Faculty for a short time. Freeman, H. B., worked a bank a little dur- ing summers, Montgomery farmed a little, but does not tell whether agriculture pays or not-he quit. Cromer, as has been before stated, was Ofheial Sten- ographer in South Dakota, and Barker held a similar position in New Haven. Clark says, I was my daddy's cashier-quite remunerative to myself. Weiser has helped to support himself by selling old clothes to Moses, whom in turn Morgan has helped to support by giving them to him. Buttle says he was porter on a Pullman car, but resigned on account of the incompatibility of his and the conductor's tempers. Carey assisted his father in paper-hanging and wood-finishing. Reynolds and a few others have picked up scattered Shekels by tutoring to a greater or less extent. Hardy, in consideration of carrying water to the elephants, was admitted free of charge

These are fair samples of what we have done to help ourselves, although endless other occupations have been named, from telegraphing to running a faro den. Fifteen men have themselves paid all their expenses incurred since entering the Law School, and several others have earned the chief part of the money they have used for their support. Some say they have paid all that has been paid, a phrase only to be interpreted in one way by those who know them. Cromer says he has supported himself for the last twenty years. Two have written athletic and college news for the papers, and two have coached foot-ball teams. Haskell, one of the latter, has also drawn heavenly strains from the Dwight Place Church organ. Teaching in Night Schools has kept Woolf from the street, and protected R. P. Free- man's door. Many have made a generous use of tick, and two have borrowed money outright. The rest of us have either drawn checks or cashed them. Weiser, after a trip to England on a freight- steamer, calls them cheques Bonsall f' has drawn a few checks, and cashed others, and Hawkes says he won six cents matching. Hayden Ends fan-tan a lucrative game, but says it can only be played success- fully with a stolidity of mien and absence of expression.
