To-night Dr. Hale will again throw his doors open to all members of the college. Last Wednesday night he gave an informal reception, which was but slimly attended on account of his general invitation published in our columns being misunderstood; the few who attended, however, had a most delightful time. All our readers who heard Dr. Hale's address at the opening of chapel will remember that he regretted that "we old fellows," as he put it, "cannot mix more intimately with you young fellows;" and this is the way he proposes to remedy it - by giving informal receptions once a week, at which all men in the college will be made welcome. Receptions of this kind at Yale, though usually given by the president there, account, to a large extent, for the close bonds between the college government and the students; the receptions of the Classical Club in Cambridge last winter were highly enjoyable and also highly humanizing in this way. It is needless to advise any one who knows how charming a man Dr. Hale is, to take advantage of his kindness and attend his reception to-night.
