A dispatch from New Haven, Conn., says Yale will not be alone in not taking any notice of the boyeott made against the University by the Women's Christian Temperance Union, of which "Citizen" wrote in a communication to The Times. The New Haven city government last night decided to follow Yale's example. The dispatch continúes: "A resolution was introduced by Councilman Gruener to appoint an investigating committee. A sharp discussion followed. Captain Dow declared that the attacks were not worth bothering about. 'If New Haven were young and Yale small,' he said, 'we inight takeup the slanders and refute them, but New Haven's and Yale's sons are scattered all over the earth. They can defend he city and the college. We can afford to laugh at them.' "Councilman Sheppard siüd that Yale would not thank the city for taking up the flg-ht. He moved that the resclutions be put on the table inüefinitely. The motion passed. "This ends the matters so far as both Yale and New Haven are concerned."
