About 200 fellows were present at the meeting of the Yale Club on Thursday evening, when three Andover "grads" and a member of the Yale faculty spoke on existing conditions at Yale and urged a strong representation of Andover men for next year's Freshman class. The underlying cause of the meeting was to try and get rid of the present ill-feeling against Yale.

Lou Hammond, the president of the Yale Club, introduced, first, Steve Hord '17, the captain of next year's crew. His first point was the purpose of the delegation; namely to refute the statements of vice and immorality at New Haven, which have been so prevalent of late. He brought out the fact that much might be traced to Yale's recent poor record in athletics. But this, he said, was bound to be merely a temporary condition, and with the reorganization of affairs this year a great come-back is almost inevitable. A very excellent point was next brought out in the statement that a man who meets temptation but can resist it, will, in the long run be the big man. His closing words were: "Andover and Exeter are the mainstays of future Yale."

Neidlinger '20, was the next speaker. He rather passed over athletics, assuming the less said, the better, only emphasizing the fact that a change was inevitable. Then the statement "rather lose for Yale than win for any any other college" was followed by the assertion that there are thirty Freshmen who are not afraid of the Harvard system or the Princeton propaganda.

Paul Crane '17, a four-team man, emphasized the opportunities for a scholarship man at New Haven. The football situation was soon referred to again. Paper dope can never be relied on, but undoubtedly the system being broken by the war had a lot to do with it. The greatest mistake by far was, however, the use of old-fashioned football. It's different now, not brawn but 99 percent brains. There won't be any mistakes next year and every one is confident of success.

The last speaker, Professor French, started his talk by commending Yale's future to the Yale men at Andover. Then, after a couple of really witty stories, he explained, speaking from the faculty's point of view, many things about Freshman life at Yale. In the first place it is against the Principles of the college to use propaganda among the schools, and in the same way, when a fellow gets to Yale he is not "babied." For this very reason men who have been big at prop school receive somewhat of a blow, and are inclined to find fault, but this same fellow the next year will have changed his opinion. He made clear that Yale students had to work about as hard as any others; not more, and not less, but one thing was emphasized in particular, namely that a Freshman did not have to definitely sign off for one course or the other until the end of the year. He repeated the statement that there was no ground for moral and athletic rumors, and after another humorous anecdote, concluded the meeting. The Phillipian.
