"Yale--Next Best College"

New Haven, Conn., April 6--"Yale--the next best college in America." This is the slogan adopted by the Yale student council and athletic, officials, and they are trying to make graduates of every other college in America say it. They are going to extend their efforts toward its adoption by trying to treat as pleasantly as possible all visiting delegations from other colleges and preparatory schools which come here in the future, and they have appointed an informal committee in the person of prominent undergraduates to assist--visiting collegians here to enjoy themselves, while the Yale nine and other athletic teams are tearing themselves apart in an effort to defeat the visiting athletic teams.

Yale alumni and undergraduate teams are extremely proud of the fact that they have been able to appeal to Harvard in such a way that it invites Yale for its Commencement baseball game and headliner football match, to Princeton for its similar selected dates, to Cornell for the invitation to row and play baseball at the annual Cornell Spring Alumni Day, to Dartmouth for an opportunity to play hockey against the Hanover college at its Winter Sport Carnival, and to Brown and Pennsylvania for dates of honor on the athletic schedules of these institutions. It has occurred to the Yale officials, however, that more strenuous efforts might be made to add to the enjoyment of the stay here of visiting teams and undergraduate delegations, and the plan is now being worked out. The Yale Daily News said editorially in speaking of the matter that sixty athletic teams would visit Yale this spring and that every one may possibly be made to speak of Yale as "The next best college in America". --Boston Transcript
