 changing Yale's name to Yale university. As so many small colleges are called univer- sities it is not thought inappropriate by grad
 uates to call Yale by that title. So far for member of the corporation the names of Hon. William Walter Phelps,
 whose term expires this year; Dr. B. w.
 Lambert of New York, Yale '54; Judge Asa
 French, '51, and Thomas Thacher, '71, son
 of the late Professor Thacher, are promi-
 uently before the alumni for the honor.
