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.

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

Tllli YALE SIIINGLE. 121 As is usual, with all classes, the lfcgzlvlcv' is our favorite New Haven paper. It receives thirty-five votes. The fJlZ!!!Z1llZ.2l77Z is second with six votes from those who make so great a sacrifice to politics. The LQUIZIZZ-7Zg' Leader' and the fomvza! and Comiw' come next. Gouraud says, 'fl prefer the JIIo1'fzz'1zg' Nczus because it says such nice things about me. Our class has the honor of being the Hrst to revolt from the long-entertained View that the Tfffbmze is the best New York paper. We vote the lfcralzi best with twenty-five votes, while the 7q7'l.b7l7ZL', which is second, receives only twelve, closely followed by the Smz with ten. The Rec01'de1', Press, Times, TMJM, Town 7'oj1z'rs, Police Gazette and f'1Z'7'6.S'Z'li6' Cofzzjmfzzluz are also voted for. Nearly all of us would modify our conduct to some extent if we could go over our course again. The greater number say they would be more studious and pay closer attention in recitation. The importance of learning the Elementary Law is greatly empha- sized. The changes which we would make are sufh- ciently illustrated by the following, Would take a few cuts Qflaydenj, Work harder and never go into so-called society, QGouraudj, Would change my action from one of waste to speciic performance QBonsallj, Eject poker players from my room, Study harder and be more sociable, Flunk less often, Begin with the M. L. course, Be a Yale graduate, Give up athletics, Look out for cases on the exams, and Cultivate a pull with the Fac- ulty.
