 The final exercises of the theological semi nary take place to-day to be followed by the annual commencement tomorrow afternoon The year just now finished will be remem- bered as one of the most successful for the seminary during the whole course of Yale
 university. The men have done themselves
 great credit, and the year has been marked by
 close, honest, faithful study. The outlook
 for next year is only more promising. Many applications for admission have been re- ceived, Professor Day saying that the indi- cations were that the next class would be the largest entering the seminary. A large num- Der of seniors and post-graduates will con- l tinue their studies here next year, so that it l is more than likely that the two buildings I will Ee nearly filled by the theologues. After those now in attendance selected their rooms
 lats week accommodations for only about ! thirty new students remained This being l the case, the shelf. men in West Divinity ! will be compelled to look elsewhere for roems 1 next year.
 I The members of the present senior class have been very successful in getting pulpits l Several have accepted calls to large churches, some in the east and others in the west. All 1 who decided not to take the postgraduate work received at least one offer, and many | debated between half dozen very hearty 1 requests to assume large pastorates. The members of the two lower classes will \ do missionary work during the summer, some going out West to blow the gospel trumpet, ' others settling as supplies and missionaries ! in the East. About thirty-f1ve will go at once as far as Chicago and thence on to their work. The hegira will take place Tuesday night and Wednesday.
 The following is a completed list of the men who have thus far been assigned places, either as permanent pastors or to supply pull pits during. the summer.

From this list it will be seen that Wis., | consin will get @ large delegation for sum- ! mer work. The State superintendent of missions in that State appointed representa- tive here and so secured large number of { men. It is impossible to locate them, as they go in body to Milwaukee and then are assigned work. So while large num- Der know in which State they will locate the place as yet is a mystery. They have Q vacation of four months, which they devote
 to the work.
