Celebrating Yale's Victories.

A circular was issued last month by some prominent Yale graduates calling a meeting on December 31st, to make arrangements for a celebration of Yale's athletic victories during the last few years. The meeting was held in New York and was largely attended. It was voted to hold a dinner at Delmonico's on Saturday evening, February 16. A committee of twenty-five was appointed, with George A. Peters, '42, as chairman, to take the matter in charge and complete the arrangements. The victories which are to be celebrated are: The football championship since '78 with one year's exception, the baseball championship since '81 with one year's break, and the rowing championship since 1885. The object of the dinner is to recognize "the loyal devotion to Yale shown by conscientious, intelligent and faithful practice which has resulted in this remarkable series of victories. An expression of enthusiasm and approval felt by Yale's graduates on this subject will encourage future contestants and keep alive and stimulate the general practice of athletics among the undergraduates.
