Gouraud alone is close enough to be considered in the race, with Wheeler, Graves, Hayden, Baum, Tyner and Bowers visible in the distance. Cur esteem for Foster shows itself in the large vote of seventeen which he receives for the most popular man. Redington is second with seven votes. Donovan, Reynolds, Bosley and Durant are in the next group, with Freeman, Clark, Weiser and Bowers traveling as third class. No difficulty at all was experienced in selecting the one most select and generous in the matter of ap- parel. High collars, hunting stock, English patterns and low-cut, crescent-necked vests rendered Lord George prime favorite. He receives thirty-five votes, the most unanimous opinion we hold. Chrysanthe- mums and red neckties pierced with a diamond pin at the exact spot indicated by Vqgwc gives Buttle a vote of nine. A famous pair of Plymouth Rock trousers, accompanied by an equally famous pair of Douglas' Three Dollar shoes, snatched Marvin from oblivion, while Hayden's immaculate linen and creased jeans secure him some mention.

To my graduate classes I bid good-bye with a closer feeling of personal association and familiarity than I can claim as respects the greater numbers of and the greater number in the Senior class. A teacher comes closer to a dozen or fifteen men, whom he meets in a hand-to-hand discussion, in his office, or around the same long table, than he can to a class of seventy-five or a hundred. The studies, too, in which they are engaged with him, are more difhcult, and so ought to be more interesting and engaging both to the teacher and the taught. As I advance towards Commencement with the fourth-year men, I can form some definite anticipation as to their future success. I know what is in each, where he is weakest, and where he is strongest. I know, too, that he has got, or had the chance of get- ting, all the Yale Law School has to give, and I
