Yale Letter.

The satisfactory results attained and the friendly feeling displayed at the foot-ball convention last Saturday cannot help but be gratifying to all the colleges represented. It was a very agreeable surprise to us that nothing was said about the withdrawal of Princeton and Harvard from the present association, and inviting Yale to join them in the formation of a new triangular league. Yale was very much opposed to such a league, as there are no apparent advantages that would result, and the disadvantages are manifold.

The decision of the faculty, prohibiting the infantile dramatic association from giving a play this spring for the benefit of the navy, was a great disappointment, not only to the promoters of the plan and the navy management, but also to the whole University, for it was generally believed that the petition would be granted. The sentiment of the students was unanimously in favor of giving the play, and whatever were the objections of the faculty, they must have been very strong to have outweighed the arguments of those who championed the project.

The '87 "Lit." board have invited a number of the present senior class to unite with them in reviving Chi Delta Theta, an ancient literary society which led an active existence during the second quarter of this century. It was originally designed to include those in each senior class who had attained literary eminence, but when the society became defunct, about the year 1845, its badge and traditions were handed down to the successive boards of editors of the "Lit." It is hoped that its reorganization, upon its ancient basis, may go far towards reviving the literary spirit at this University, the lack of which has, of late years, been felt and deplored in many quarters.

Friday evening the annual meeting of the University Tennis Association was held for the election of officers for the ensuing year. H. W. Cooley, '88, was elected president; F. C. Pratt, '88, S., vice-president, and R. O. Rogers, '89, secretary and treasurer.
