So with a word of last advice. l'll cease to fill you with chopped ice. We've had professors, good and bright, Who taught the law, and taught it right. Now, after all this xvork and fun, For us our lives have just begun- Our active lives, where each his part Should seek and act with all his hearty And whether we succeed or fail, We'll keep our love for DEAR OLD YALE.

THE VALE SlIINGl,l'1. I5 Then we started as juniors gay, To study the law's most intricate way Some of the fellows hustled for fare, Teller off-hustled the front of his hairg While Conlon showed by his head, when starting, To be like to Heaven, there being no parting. In the Kent Club 'twas that Levy shone, Where his points of order raised many a groan. Here Moore and Gouraud in eloquence grand, Tried whether the House of Lords should stand. In trying for the fournallr staff, Some vented sense the others chaff. Those that did get on the paper, Found it work to cut this caperg For it is a diliicult task to do, And fulsomc praise is the editor's due, The journal in all its publications Giving bright comments and citations. The thing that next caught our attention Was the famous athletic dissension, Which caused this school to form a nine To discount all in the base ball line. To all the players great praise is due, But Durant and Bowers are the two, Who by their management and play, Inspired the men to win the day, And at the end of every game To add more lustre to Yale's fair name. And when the base ball trophy cup Was at the World's Fair offered up To the College nine, best in the land, The Law School nine then led the band 5 And the boys returned with this famous prize, Which will the Law School immortalize. Football is a game that's rough, But those who play ne'er get enoughg

ADDRESS TO T111-1 CLASS or 1894. Dear ! c!!oaf.v :- I feel a peculiar right to address you as above. You are the first class I ever taught. You started in with me, and I started in with you. For I believe that immediately after our reverend President had told you what an important part of Yale University you were, and after our honored Dean had told you how glad he was to see you, Qineidentally mentioning that term bills were payable at his ofhcc in advancej, you and I were introduced to each other for the first time. I shall never forget the feeling I had at that introduc- tion. As a student in '89 I had but live years before wondered how that little man, sitting behind the desk, could know so much more than I did. But when I came to sit behind that selfsame desk, I questioned whether any of you could know less than I did. In the fall of 1887, it seemed more than easy to look on the book and see if the fellows gave the right answer. In the fall of 1892, it seemed even easier for any one of you to put poscrs which Ieould neither answer out of that book or any other way. Anyhow, you will remember we started in with Infants and got through Riley vs. Mallory, Todd vs. Clapp, and Henry vs. Root very successfully. Infants created a bond of sympathy at once. A fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind. But we stuck at Married Women.
