 per and she BabylOnia Expedition.
 Dr. Leonard J. Sanford, professor of anatomy in the Medical school for twenty five years, has resigned his position, the res- ignation to take effect at commencement.
 Af. Dexter has also resigned his place as Larned professor of American history in the college and Professor George B. Adams of Drury college, Missouri, is appointed his successor. MT. Adams is graduate of Be- lott college d673) and of Yale Divinity school (1870. While here as a student he devoted himself especially to history and has since prosecuted his studies in Germany. He will give instruction also in other branches of history besides American.
 The following fve-year appointments were made: Mir. Horatio M. Reynolds (now a tutor in Yaie), assistant professor of Greek; MT. Samuel l.. Penfeld (new assistant), as- sistant professor of mineralogy in the Shef- field Scientific school; MT. Horace l.. Wells (now an assistant), assistant professor of an- alytical chemistry in the Sheffield school.
 MT. Washington I. Hunt was elected tutor in Greek in the college and MT. Frank G. Moore tutor in n-Latin.
 The following appointments for one year (1Ss89) were made:
 MT. Wm. J. Comstock, instructor in organ. ic chemistry in the Sheffield Scientific school; MT. George M. Duncan, instructor in mental and moral philosophy in the college; MT Wm. T. Strong, instructor in German in the college.
 The corporation voted to send Instructor Robert F. Harper as delegate from the university on the expedition about to go tC Babylonia, under the auspices of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania.
 From the records of the corporation oi Yale university at meeting held on May IF, 1888:
 proposed building for recitation rooms, the president and fellows feel called upon tc adopt the following minute:
 We have received and fully considered the petition of the students and of many graduates of the university that the proposed building may be located elsewhere than on the corner of Chapel and College streets. We should be glad to gratify any desire so widely and urgently expressed, but we feel constrained by the necessities of the present case to ad- here to our previous action. In view of the facts that the available space for building on the college grounds is so limited and the particular site in question is thus so valua- ble, it is in our judgment neither wise nor practicable to leave this corner of the square unoceupied. As the ground in question, therefore, must in any case soon be used, to decide against locating this building upon the spot which has been chosen would seem to be doing an injustice to the generous donor, whose choice it is and the liberality of whose donation should certainly be most graciously recognized.

One of the most unreasonable

LEARNING TO HOWL.
Selc-Reformation the Only Way to Reform
the World.

the World.
1t is an old Spanish proverb, we be-
lieve, He who lives with wolves will
soon learn to-howl." He who lives
with the faults of his friends, and
counts them over and sorts them and
weighs them and measures them, will
soon have equally grave ones of his
own, which his friends will be sure to
see, and which will make him positive
ly unable to cure them. There is moth
ing that so deteriorates character as
this undue looking after faults and
blemishes in others while we are blind
to our own. We may abhor meanness
and stinginess in our neighbor, and be
able to give hundred reasons why he
should give away more in charity, and
see thousand little things to indicate
his smallness of soul, and at the same
time we may be so engrossed with one
phase of meanness in him as to forget
another phase of meanness in our
selves. We may abhor untruth so We
hemently in some one else that we shall
forget to hate impurity in ourselves.
We may despise our neighbor for his
sharpness and trickery, and spread
over our own slackness and idleness
and shiftlessness the coverlet OF
THANK God, I'm not sharper!" The
idle, thriftless man can never reform
the over-shrewd Spectator; the inn
pure man can never lift the untruthfui
man out of the bog; the gossip is not
fit to cure the miser of his selfishness.
There is only one way after all, to re-
form the world. Not by learning to
howl at Its faults, or to bark at its
mistakes, but first to begin the work OF
reformation with ourselves. We come
back inevitably to the old truth so
often before stated: "In order to make
the best of others we must first make
the best of ourselves. Golden RuSs.
