14 Yale '88 The ann11al tournament of the Inter-Collegiate Tennis Associa- tion was held on the grounds of the New Haven Lawn Club the second week in October. Harvard won first place in both doubles and singles, Columbia, second. Davison and Mason rowed in the '89 boat at the Fall Regatta 5 DeWolf was substitute. On November 18th the Upsilon Deuteron chapter of the Theta Delta Chi fraternity, was established in Sheff., and eight men in the Junior and Freshman Classes initiated. Thanksgiving day again saw the foot ball championship in Yale's hands, after handsomely defeating Princeton by the score of 12 to 0, and Harvard 17 to 8. Bull, Carter and Pratt of tl1e class, were on the victorious team and Graves was a substitute. At a meeting of the class December 14, Curtis was elected class poet and P. F. Smith permanent secretary. President Dann an- nounced the men to compose the committees on statistics, supper, picture, cup, graduating and triennial 5 also the historians for the several courses. On February lst, the Senior appointments, twenty-three in num- ber, were announced, and were divided among the several courses as follows : Select, 7 3 Dynamical Engineering, 4 5 Civil Engi- neering, 5, Chemistry, 3, and Biology, 4. The Chair of Analytical Chemistry and Metallurgy recently held by Prof. Allen, is vacant, but two'new instructors have been added, Mr. E. S. Sperry, assistant in Analytical Chemistry and Mr. G. W. Cummins, assistant in mathematics. The Kent Laboratory has been completed during the year, and work on the Chittenden Library, to cost 1l4125,000 and to be ready for occupancy before May 1, '89, has been begun. Dann will again represent the class on the nine, and we have good reason to feel that Yale will retain her customary position at the head of the league in this branch of athletics. We are also prepared to celebrate another boating victory over Harvard. Car- ter and Wilcox will again represent the class in the University boat. The statisticians regret that they must necessarily omit from the Class Book the -details of the closing weeks of the course. Four men have left the class during the year, so that we now have and bid fair to graduate seventy-four men, the largest number graduated in any class in the history of 'the department. K

Class Book. 13 endeavors of Stagg's strong arm and thirteen innings could only suffice to win by one rung but this was the last effort, and in the Commencement game it was scarce a struggle. About this time, sixteen members of the class were elected to membership in the University Club, and Conyngham was chosen vice-president. Now came the time when we faced our examinations, which were to show whether we had wasted our time or not for one long year. Happily, we were successful almost to a man, and while yet in nn- certainty, we went to see the boat race at New London. The race with the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard's with Columbia were but preliminaries for the battle of the giants which was to follow. As we trust and believe she ever will, our University was again the victor, and we did well our part, which we judged to be in cheering on our sturdy eight. At this time we see our class- mates shaking one another bythe hand in a manner more than con- gratulatory, it had a grateful and blissful element in it. Was this because Yale had won the boat race, and that vacation had come with its visions of fair damsels? Yes, this and the fact that we were--Seniors. SENIOR YEAR. Our last year has come and nearly gone. Seventy-eight of us returned to bear its duties and responsibilities-eleven less than re- assembled at the opening of Junior year. We performed the cus- tomary duty of niarshaling into line the Freshmen, 104 strong, preparatory to the annual Orange street rush, and duly left the imprint of our example upon the minds of '89. ' The captains of the University C1'ew and nine for the year were announced, F. A. Stevenson, '88, of the crew, and A. A. Stagg, '88, of the nine. On October lst, Prof. Drummond with a party from the Uni- versity of Edinburg, visited the University and delivered several addresses which were very popularly received. On October 5th, the annual class meeting for the election of officers was held. Dann was the choice for president, Carter for vice-president, and P. F. Smith for secretary. The question of rep- resentation on the Junior promenade committee was brought up, when word was received from members of the '89 committee that they considered the promenade a strictly academic aifair. 'No action was taken by the class. I
