The Boys' Club at Yale.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The freshman class at Yale has recently undertaken a form of charity work which is as commendable as it is out of the general run of freshman interests at colleges. This work is the "Boys Club", which was founded in 1889 by the class of '92 and '91 S. Its object was to provide an occupation for boys who were accustomed to spend their evenings about the streets. A meeting of the class was held and a committee appointed, who fitted up a room with games, books, etc. The work proved so successful that two years ago the club was able to move into still larger and more comfortable rooms. This year the accommodations have been still farther increased. Formerly the freshman classes raised the money to carry on the work, but since it moved the funds have been provided by the management of that mission, and now all the freshman class has to do is to furnish men to carry on the work and to subscribe $50 or $100 to provide for entertainments. The work has been very successful in past years.
