A committee ~ consisting ‘Smith, of Chicago; Edwin White, of St. Paul; and Wilson McClintcock, of Pittsburgh, has been named by Edwin Rogers Embree, Secretary of the class, to investigate the question of a ‘me- morial and present plans and ideas to the cldss when it meets in New Ha- ven. The Class of 1906 has its decen- nial reunion this June, when the na- ture of the memorial will be decided upon. At present, it is mnot known definitely what sort of memorial will Dbe erected although a track house has been favored because” of Shevlin's fame as an athlete. / Not the least interesting of the events of the celebration next October, will be the Latin play, which the classical gepartment proposes to pre- sent on Friday evening preceding the Dageant. A comedy of Plautus, The Mostellaria, will be given in Latin by fifteen undergraduate Latinists. This comedy—first presented about B. C. 200—is one of the best productions of Plautus. The attempt will be made to produce the play in the same man- ner in which it was first presented. Unfortunately the performance can not take place out-of-doprs,—as was the case in Plautus’ time—owing to The voting of the senior class on their preferences in regard to poems, novels, poets, and novelists had shown the literary tastes of 1916 to be sim- ilar to those of preceding classes. “Crossing the Bar,” the favorite poem of Yale seniors since time immemor- | tion x jal, is again the choice this year, and ditions of he Roman stage.

The opinions were about the average, the pressure of more important events, but.in all other respects the presenta- tion will adhere faithfully to the tra- presented and this element will not represent either of the radical fac- tions. They are committed to'a naval program which is consistent with the needs of the country. The naval committee very sensibly urges a measure which calls for a much Jarger outlay than any previous one. It is warfanted because condi- tions require it, and in that bill spe- cial stress is laid upon the need of battle cruisers because that is a tvpe of vessel which other nations have demonstrated to be of vital jmport- ance, and it is at the same time' point- ed out that this country is absolutely lacking in this respect. It is true that five such vessels would make but a slight showing against some of the big powers in this respect, but there ought to be no thought of making a beginning in this direction with any less number. The battle cruisers are needed and needed badly for the pro- tection of this country and the insur- ance of peace. ‘At the same time the importance of keeping up the effi- clency of the mavy by the building of dreadnoughts “ought not to be over- looked. . It has not been shown that they are not the mainstay of a navy, and in this respect the advice of the naval experts cannot be disregarded and display- good judgment. Even though the naval budget is unusually large, it better be even larger ana give the country the protection it needs, than to cut it down and there- by show a negligence of the country’s interests. .+ ¥OF - HIGHWAYS, ultingdof a man out of bile at{South Manchester “in (his' receiving a fractured ) the! arrest of the operator ‘ear' in which he was riding L with driving - his machine der: the influence of liquor, eh it is to be judged that reason forithe collision be- two autos’ which resulted ent, directs’ attention once the danger which is involved - of the highways by men dn no condition to protect nor to insure the safety of them to say nothing ot ingiothers who may be going te direction. ent is the remark heard that § are not‘afrald of riding with ‘who drive:fast but they are con- ‘alarmed at what is likely’to i to them.as the reeult of the pétence = and recklessness of It is mot to be sup- it the driver of the machine, arrested at South Manches- d out with the ldea of iill- } ipanion, or that he had any Hoh of taking chances which . in his or anyone else's 1 During the past two years the Pea- body Museum research expedition has Dbeen conducting explorations in Ne- braska. The skeletons of a numb@ of prehistoric animals have been un- earthed, giving valuable information with regard to prehistoric animal life in North America. Especially note- worthy is a prenistoric elephant, the complete excavation of whidh has oc- cupied ‘the Yale geologists for two years. The Yale Nebraska expedition, sent out from the Peabody Museum in 1914 had the good fortune to locate the remains of a large prehistoric elephant not far from the town of Hay Springs. It was necessary for the main party to push further west in order to accom- plish the exploration which had been planned, so two men were left behind to complete the excavation, but with instructions to join the main party not later than a given date. The work was carried forward energetically and all of the bone removed which could be got at without extensive excava- tion of a clift 18 feet high, and there the matter rested for the season. Last summer a second expedition left New Haven in order to complete the work of the previous year.

There is no longer any doubt that the rank and . file of republicans throughout the country prefer that Justice Hughes should be the party’s candidate for the presidency at the coming election, and unless the con- vention nominates hi mnext month, a wave of disappointment will sweep over the country. The average repub- lican, the average democrat well, realizes that Justice Hughes would be the strongest candidate that the con- vention could select.
