MISCELLANEOUS. It is a subject of great regret that no one has ever taken the trouble to organize two teams of question- askers to settle in a fair trial the disputed right to championship. Last year much enthusiasm was excited by such a contest and one result at least was a wonderfully alliterative poem by an anonymous writer. We sincerely regret the necessity of being obliged to omit this attractive feature, when so much material was at hand-much more ample than any that could be found for any athletic team. Have the efforts of Cromer's philosophic mind been of no avail? Have the exertions of Adams, Denniston, Hall, Tyner and Fuller been in vain? Be this as it may, what was a settled fact in ,Q3 is an open controversy in '94. In the course of our lives, we have traveled a great deal, considered as a class, although some of us have revolved in rather circumscribed orbits. Ten men have travelled over a greater or less part of Europe, while many have been over a large part of the United States. Bonsall has travelled the most in longitude, from Mexico to Russia. while Moore. besides cross- ing the American Continent several times, has been from the Arctic Circle to the South Seas. Gouraud has crossed the Atlantic twelve times and calculates thirty-three as the proper number for the channel- once he went over and never came back. Smith has

And don't forget, as life goes on with all its oppo1'tunities for good and evil, that you are alumni of a great University, and in honor bound to do nothing to discredit her name. This has been a serious kind of valedictory. As we older men see troop after troop of you young fel- lows iiling off, every year, to spread over the country, with the power to act the part, either of ministers of justice, or of injustice, we follow your steps with hope, not untinged by anxiety. All cannot succeed, as the world counts success. Some will not deserve it. But for most of you of the three classes of 1894, we shall look for it, and with confident assurance that wc shall not look in vain. S1M1f:oN li. Iiaimwix. February 6, 1894. Q -jiwsy ...E , FK . .

The least distance was that cov- ered by one man who went to Fair Haven to a tire, though if he found it, he deserves a name as an explorer. Another has been to East Rock, West Rock and Woodbridge, while a third has made a pil- grimage to the home of Bowers. One man has only been as far as his face would take him. The time when we have performed the journeys varies from birth to a period when flush. About fifteen or twenty men were candidates for the Board of Editors for the Law Journal. Bonsall quit contributing when his article on the Law of BluH's was rejected. Forty or hfty have subscribed for that 1awyer's :fade meemzz, while several others fwho nevertheless secure a copy of each numberl are uncertain whether they take it or not. Some men have contributed to the columns of the Plforld, fiferzzld, Globe, M07'7ZZ'7lg' Nefvs, Regzlrlef, Philadel- fzkza Times and many others. Gouraud says he has written for the Afgglo-Ameweaaz Regfsler fGermanyj, and Hayden claims to have contributed to Se1'Mfzer'.v. One man writes only for sample copies. Bolt- wood was an editor of the Yale Literary! M0gR.5l.7ZU, Fuller of the Reeorfl, Mull of the De Pauav lflfeekb, and Brown of the l3own'oz'1z Orieuf.
