iiiectluc nt t'luclunatl «n« •ustuewtl lij UHIIam II. Taft. TS. a abort time a co, aaya tbe New York Tribune. The time, tuouey am] attenlion which this «x-aal»n called for do not represent one-twentieth part of that which tbe secretary of war devotes each year to the interest-* of hi* alma mater. Every meeting of tbe Vale corporation year, nao-pt tbe one when he waa ahs. It from tbe country, has taken tbe busy cabinet offlcial from Washlncton to Near Haven, and be has dropped affairs of state on a doacu occasions to travel; Jo New York city for a Rather-i:-S of the Yale club or to other towua v. here an importaat meeting of alumul

was tmiuR lurid.

Mr. Taft ia wont to call this laree projiortioaato outlay of his time and eaertr well worth while and to scout the remark that It Is at all unnsuaL To prove his first assertion he always tells a story. To prove his second be cite* the large part which Yale plays In the life of Its graduates generally, story Is laid In tbe Philippines years ago. at a moment when the big re organiser says he came aa near to being discouraged as be ever could be. A cable message from bis class. In reunion at New Haven, was laid stack of papers that littered his desk. “Good boy. BIB: we're with you.*' was tbe tenor of the message, and Mr. Taft says It* effect was worth all tbe time that any man can give time to bis alnmul interests. What the secretary of war says of tbe part which Yale plays In tbe life of Its graduates generally Is largely borne out by recent statements by son Pbelps Stokes. Jr. secretary of the university. While It has been, course. Impossible to determine exactly Jnst wbat amount of cncr[g> and effort each one of Yale's 13.00) alnmnl votes to Yale's Interests, it Is possible rongnly to classify a large number of graduate types, tbe unusually high percentage of whose activities along these lines raises tbe average far above tbe minimum man. vniose active Interest la confined to a few graduate dinners a year, periodical rc*i*oiise to appeals for altyunl funds and a trip to a clt reunion at New Haven every three Class secretaries rank high on tbe 1 of the graduates who give a goodly part of their time and activities ’ Interests of Yale and its alumni. Many a class secretary has been found who la devoting every hour of his leisure to the burden of constant compilation and correspondence which tbe keeping and chronicling of the history of 200 men. scattered to tbe coda of Unearth. involve Every one of these m Is called upon at regular intervals compile and publish n hook containing the history and status of each man It the class up to date. Each is nlway* subject to a call by any member of hi* class for tbe latest and most detail*-d Information regarding another member or group of members. It Is not nnnsnal for a class secretary to receive mand for a < vaipiete list of the with latest addresses and or single** annotation, for purposes of

•ending out wedding

In t_.« work tbe secretary la not unaided. A large proportion of bis ' mates willingly assume a share of the burden of writing to their particular Intimates and thus keeping tbe tary a.-cnrately Informed. Hit*, weeks of time and attention are devoted many Yale alumni to class record work. The class agents of tbe alumni fund have an almost e*iual amount of con

It that each member of tbe „ kept In tuuci with tbe work of raising funds by tbe general body of tbe alum nl for tbe support of the university and that each la solicited in a timely and tactful way to make his individual contribution. To this work many the ciaaa atrenl* devote weeks of the time of their office clerical force a ml much more of their own. As officer, and commltteeiuen of tbe organization of the alumni fund a score of men whose time is unnsnally valuable serve regularly and willingly. East year these voluntary agents collected over $11*1.000 from abont 2.500 graduates of the university. In the hundred or more alumni ess..elation* throughout tbe land men of thimtype are also eerv teg In a similar capacity. As a sample of graduate aetlvlty along specialized line* the Yale Mis slon college In China la often cited In tbe building of a new Yale In the heart of China an Incorporated society under a council of forty prominent Yale alnmul baa been formed with * working roc-ibenshlp that Includes •cores of tbe alumni and has aa officers tbe leading men of tbe university and the graduate body.

Wl'N'K. the mouth of wedding UeB* I and graduation Cl I new bntclie. of I- ... -a and sweet *■ girl graduate* each l.tue the year r-> is rouud to tbe summer aolttlce. The y. irs may come and tbe years ■ g» but tbe bridal procession* and r .imnenrement essays and orations and diplomas and bouquets keep on forNot so very, very long agj there were a ■ such Hu evt tb..ig* as girl gradaatee. The Isiy-S went to college and got shcep.klns at commencement ee and their »**trr* and sweethearts admired ami applauded. But they never dreamed of such things for themselves, —no. Indeed. It would have been quite Improper. A young woman in tboaa day* waa circumscribed by a great many rules of propriety, and education well, that was something never heard of and for counie absurd. Hut times have changed, as Cicero remarked lu language with which all co'legc graduates posed to be familiar, and n. may not only graduate from a college, but she may go through three graduating functions liefore she participate. in that most Impressive and solemn function of ail. the march to tba altar. In days gone by the colleges only Institution* which " ment seasons and held graduating exercises. But now the high aboola and tbe semlnarira and grammar schools have their graduating exercises. For tbe girl this means many elaborate prviiarations and oftentlme* cxi«cn*es which • parent with a large family and a small salary finds It hard to meet. Graduating gowns, class receptions and dinners and dances and photographs all cost money, and money In these days cannot be created by

magic wand, nor p. It usually In such matters a case of "everybody works but father." A paterfamilias who has four or five daughter*, not to mention sous, who must nil do the customary thing when they graduate from the piddle echoed, the high school or seminary and tlie college and who. a Utile later perhaps, must all lie equipped with suitable wedding trousseaux has a task on his hands for which he needs tbe support of a steady Income and a good tiank account. Realizing the demands on tbe famBy purse which this season necessitates, the principal of a school In Cbarientown. Mass., recently marie a suggestion to the grauuatlnc class. Every family, be said, had a good many old rubbers lying around awaiting dep ositlon In the ash barrel and If tbeee were collected they might bring something. The -mnigestlon was made at tbe psychological moteept. Juat aa tbe and I be aggregation of old rubber turned In by tbe pupils weighed 29B pounds. A sympathetic Junk dealer paid $22.72 for the lot. which went far to defray tbe cost of the pictures. White has long been tbe convendoonl color for tbe dresses of tbe sweet girl graduates, and white la still tbe rule, though a variation from tbe pure white may properly be Introduced by using class colors In girdle or scurf or shoulder knot A girl who gets a dl ploma from a college may pay leas attention to her graduating dress than the who aaya formal farewell to a high school or seminary, for at many colleges attended by women senior* wear tbe traditional mortarboard cap nod academic gown on commencement day. and this makes for democracy all around. Tbe ample folds of a costume •acred to scholarship and worn by men and women alike conceal that which la worn inside, and rich girts and poor may receive their degrees In simple shirt waist salts. Tbe other functions college are not In the case of a woman •o conducive to ahnpllclty in dress, and for there a graduating girl may haed a different gown for nearly every day of tbe seven
