 At the last Yale alumni meeting it was submitted by a proposed resolution that Yale college should be changed to YaIe university. President Porter submitted that it might be well to determine first if such change could be sanctioned by the Yale charter. One has but to look into the 1884 S5 Yale catalogue, page 90, to find this, viz: 'In conjuction with other departments of the university, examinations will be held on the Thursday after commencement, etc." That there was no need of saying university is shown on page 97 where it is said: s'Mem- bers of either class of the department of law can attend the lectures of professors to un- der ,raduates in other departments of the college, etc." One may well recommend that the Yale catalogue speak of the Yale institution either as Yale college or Yale university uniformly, and not variably. And the Yale faculty should determine whether departments" (see above) should begin with a capital or small letter. Aug. A.
