The Harvard Club of New York held their annual dinner at Delmonico's on Thursday evening. About two hundred and fifty graduates were present, besides two dozen annex girls, who occupied the gallery. Francis O. French presided at the dinner. The speakers were Rev. H. J. Van Dyke, of Princeton, Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, of Yale, Messrs. J. O. Sargent, C. C. Beaman, F. T. Greenhalge, D, C. French, J. C. Centre, Professors N. S. Shaler, and Joseph Lovering, and Rev. A. Brooks. Mr. VanDyke condemned college athletics as gladiatorial, and as consisting of a large proportion of contest, with a small proportion of athletics; but Mr. Depew, the next speaker, suggested that this view was largely due to the recent ill-success of Princeton and Harvard. Among those present were Rev. F. G. Peabody, Wendell Goodwin, and many other prominent graduates.
