A Large Number OH Ambitious EOun&
 Students Once More in New Haven
 Prospects for the Year-The Big Fresh
 man-The Senior Bow.
 After eleven weeks of ease and idleness spent in all sorts and varieties of summer resorts, ranging from the quiet country homestead to the famous foreign watering places, the young men who enjoy the dis tinction of being Yale students have returned to New Haven and are again thronging the classic halls and ancient ruins of the college campus. AS if the general appearance of South and South Middle were not sufficient mark of their age, the dates of their erection have been conspicuously placed upon them and all those who make pilgrimages to those shrinss may know that the one was built in 1793 and the other in 1750. AS usual on the opening and closing days of the term, the campus presents an unusually active and sprightly appearance. Hurrying students eager to get their rooms in shape, washwo men bent upon securing their prey and their last year's pay, expressmen and hack drivers and the usual quota of tutors, news, boys and bootblacks hover about the sign clad elms and arouse the janitors from their summers lethargy. As usual the busiest man is the ''college inspector and it would seem that he has more on his mind than the President of the United States at the opening of Congress- The students are busy ,too, in their way, and the freshmen who have had just one day of life es Yale students bear upon their clean and shining faces the look of proud satisfaction and satis- fled pride in their exalted positions. The classes assembled in chapel yesterday and the first senior bow had all of it's usual ragged ness. All classes except the seniors had reel tations yesterday. The instructors came for ward with fresh, clean marking books, the bookstores piled up their fall supplies of books, the janitor of the gymnasium laid in new supply of towels and life at Yale with all it's glories was fairly begun. The class of '87 is said to be fairly large and largely fair. Whether they are more handsome than other classes cannot be stated with Rbso- lute certainty. It is said also that one man tips the beam upwards of 275- pounds. His fortune is made already if that be so. The graduate department also promises to be well patronized although speculation on that mat ter is at present futile. There will be good number of 83 men who will return and take graduate courses. Among them are B. H. Moore, valedictorian, E. s. Mclaughlin, De Forest man, l.. K. Hull and J. R. Parrot of the crew, F. B. Kellogg and D. s. Knowlton of the Glee club, and E. G.Bourne who took the Cobden club medal. There have been some changes in instructos. Ripley, '78, takes the German class, Waters, '78, has been chosen tutoe of Latin and Reynolds 80, tutor of Greek.
 The Cabinet building has received much needed coat of paint and presents more creditable appearance than formerly. The Atheneum has new and large windows and IS otherwise improved. In the Lyceum the rooms in front formerly used as recitation hov int the hallway leading to the presidents old lecture room has been closed, an entrance to the latter has been made through the rear and the whole building has been thoroughly painted. The new physical lab oratory is not yet completed and will not be ready for use for some time. The work has been pushed, however, and now little re- mains to be done except the laying of the floors in few rooms and the vanishing of the woodwork. Tho old brick house which stood east of the new building has been removed and several trees have been removed in fl ,n., leaving clear view of it from High street. The building is much handsomer than was expected and with it's companion, the new chemical laboratory, will be an ornament to the college and the city. The gymnasium has been thoroughly cleansed and the walls whitewashed.' The running track and mattresses have been re- paired several sets of new dumbbells and clubs have been added and the whole appara- tus placed in as good condition as is possible in the present quarters Settees have been placed under the trees along the old brick row, and will be much appreciated by the inhabitants of those buildings Instantly IIIIIe6-Sad Accident in Mer-
