J., attends commencement at Princeton this June he will celebrate the eventy sixth anniversary of his' graduation from col lege. He received his diploma In 1'J2, wa graduated In medicine at -the University of Pennsylvania In 1KJS and Is Frlnceton' oldest alumnus. Ho recently passed Ills ninety-third birthday. Of the 1.2KT men graduated from Prlnce- on university between the years 112 and 1S62 the twenty oldest classes represented by surviving alumni, only 131 are still liv ing. The classes of 133. lv, 137,0 ml 1S3S ve no survivors. Of these 151 graduate only eight are classed In the . records as business men. The fact that this propor tion Is two-thirds less than It should be according to recently published statistics. Indicates that the lives of the business men in the twenty classes concerned have been shorter than those of their contem poraries who entered professions. The statistics referred to show moreover thst a larger proportion of modern gradu ates go into business than Into the profes sions. If this proportion shall remain as It la. or shall Increase, and if the mor tality of such graduates shall proye to be as high as that of the former generation. the chances for a business man to reach a rlpe old age, not to speak Of his cele brating the seventy-sixth anniversary of his grsduatlon from college, are exceed ingly slim. Ranked by their relative compatibility with longevity, according to the statistics of Princeton classes, the professions are in the following order: I.w, th ministry and medicine.

The second day out the troops were ordered to subsist on the merrnvy ration, exclusive of other ra tions. This ration baa never mot with the ap proval of those who have bun compelled to eat the same. The chocolate component Is sweet and sstiafictory and may be eaten without prepamtion. The cake of toorf will nisko a cuuul of porridge, and, with th ail'liilon of mm, In fairly palatable, and for some men U would bo sufficient for one lnesl.

The food In gem-nil lucks the jieasonlng conic pnnent,. and to some It Is nauseating, and men wnplain that after they have eaten It they felt hungry at once and they felt ae though they wero marching on an empty stomach. -As quite a number of the recruits were on the march and thl their first experi ence of the emergency ration, their view of the same were obtained as of old on the kicking of the old soldier, but it Is said that a great number of them seemed to relish it. especially the chocolate. So"ne saved the cans as relics, others writing home telling mother, brother, In fact all of them lacome of Yalo Graduates. Th first definite answer to the question propounded In the Alumni Weekly several weeka ago 'as to the average salaries of Yale graduates has come In the form of roughly tabulsted statistics from the secre tary of the class of '08. In a circular letter to the member of the class sent out last fall on ,'of the auestrons ' asked was the yesrly salary or Income earned. The ques tion excluded paternal or other allowances or Income ' by Inheritance and referred, merely to the personal earnings of th In dividual !ii question. In 150 answer to the question In the class of 1906, fifty-two men had no per sonally earned Income during the first year ut of college, forty-aeven men had an in come under H.000 and forty-one men had an Income of over $1,000. For the seoond year (In figuring for the salary fqr which estimates for the last three months had to be given, based as accurately as possi ble upon the present rate of salary or in come, forty-five men were receiving no salary, eighteen men wcrs receiving Mes than f.',000 and aeventy-three men over $1,(00. The greatest amount reported aa earned by onevman during the first year out of college' was $3,500, earned in Insur ance. Bo many members of the class are still engaged In professional study that no "average" salary can be figured for the entire class for either of the first two years out of college. Baslaess Coarse at Harvard. The board of overseers of Harvard uni versity has decided to establish a graduate school of business administration, the or dinary requirement for admission to wrhlch shall-be "the posseswlrm f a bachelor de gree and for graduation a course of study covering two years. By creating this school Harvard under takes to do Its share in meeting -what is believed" to bo- a growing need Our efficient and systematic business training, and It plans thia service to tha community In tine pint which animates its general scheme of professional education. Tl.e new school Is to be a graduate department like .the other Harvard professional schools; and the specialized training for a business ca reer which it, will givs. on the analogy of the law school and the medical school, rests on the basis of a liberal education. College graduates only will be admitted as regular atudents, and In addition to tha general requirement of the bachelor's de gree for admission, a few definite require ments, such as modern languages and economics, may ba Imposed a essential to efficiency In the advancedf work of the school. Since the course . of study will cover two years, tho whole period of uni versity study under this plan will be six years, or five yesr If the degree pf A. B. or other college degree ha been taken in three year. . The instruction will cover In the. first year certain general subjects, such, aa prin ciples .of accounting, commercial law. re cent economic history, commercial organ ization and eeonomlo geography. In the second year more specialized Instruction will be offered In such lines as banking, transportation. Insurance and business or ganisation and management. In addition to tha courses preparing specifically for his chosen career In business, th student will have a choice of elective studies, in cluding eapeclaily adapted courses in the modern languages.

Daly, rhlcf packer of the army, with station at Fort Leaven worth, Kan. Although approaching the seventieth milestone, Mr; Ialy is still hale snd hearty and if anyone were to guess ins age one wouki ve inclined to pvace It below the sixties. His good health, he attribute to the many years which he spent in the open and to the plain and hardy fare which was his for years white traveling the length and breadth of the frontier, from the Sierra Madras in Old Mexico to the Nee of the Woods in Mani toba. Although Mr. Dalv has kent a rtlarv of his daily life since he first service with Uncle Sam and although he has often been pressed by officers to publish it he still refrains from doing so. Some day he may decide 10 and it Is to be hoped that he will, for it will be a valuable addition to frontier lore and without doubt it will tell soca truths that army records and his tory nave overlooked. zuru in uaiway, ireiana. wnere be iv. cetved his education, Mr. Daly came to this country as a boy. In I8a he became possessed of a desire to see the great and unanown west ana striking out from San Antonio hs insds for Arizona and New Mexico. 1 He engaged for service in the quartermaster's department and for two year hi craving for excitement was satis fied. Mr. Daly was engaged under Gen eral McKsnxle against old Chief Cochise's band up and down the length and breadth of Out territories, and In ths fights In the j onio dsshi, tttrawoerry Valley and th uiragoon mountains, la the latter part of lo he was also engaged In the Indian territory and northern Texas against the K to waa and the Comanchea. In this year he left ths employ of Uncle Sam and started still further west. He traveled through California and for two years he packed and freighted throughout the entire northwest. Mr. Daly packed upiuiea io ana irom ins mines and set tlernents slong the . Columbia, the Snake. the Upper Yellowstone. He penetrated into canaaa as isr a tn week of th Woods, where Spanish ponies, then favored for packing purpose, were purchased from the Winnebago Indians. In the year of 170 he struck out for the aoutnwest and again renewed his alien! ance to the quartermaster department and this time for good. He took service under General Crook, the moat famous of Indian fighters, who wss then engaged In a ceaseleaa warfare against the tribes of the southwest. The government had never had any pack trains of its own, having hired them when they were considered necessary. ueneral (rook recommended that the system be sdopted and Mr. Iiaiy was imany instructed to organise three trains to carry aupplles snd ammunition for troops la the fit.d.
