The new art building for Yale College at New
Haven has cost $123,000 so far, and will probably cost
$30,000 more to complete it. The report that Trumbull
Gallery was to be torn down on the completion of the art
building proves incorrect. The pictures now in Trumbull
Gallery will, of course, be removed to the now building,
but the old gallery building will be retained.
