 -The Weeks Programmed
 Yale has laid aside it's classic gown, put it's books on the shelf, it's pencils in it's pockets, and comes out in it's white fanael summer suit to greet the fair visitors of commence ment and round up the college year with the big full period of weeks pleasure. To-day is the historic class day, and the round thea ter of rough plank seats has already been piled high upon the campus ready to be decked in great breadths of white cambric and to bend and creak under the weight of pretty girls who come from away of to see their brothers and beaux graduate and smoke the long pipes of class day once for all
 A good many of them have been here quite a while too. In some way or other the girls all seem to think the hey-day of life is to get into beautiful college town like New Haven and have as many fne-looking fellows as. they wish to talk to and make time fly with fondly-remembered hatteries. They come here early. go to everything throughout the week, forget even the hot weather in their flush and hustle of excitement and pleasure, make the streets gay with their bright faces and light air, and end the weeks holiday with trip to the boat race at New London, where they do as much to win the race with the waving of blue handkerchiefs and en- broidered flags as the lusty cheers of their male companions.
 : An hoE n day aa Sunday uaa ~hau all churches were scantily attended, the pews at Battsll chapel had more than their share<6f faif ones; and all put on a sober face and looked as if they understood eyevf thought in the learned presidents baGcalaureate. Nevertheless, their sedateness< lost itself in the cool peach ices of dinHer and the after noon's siesta of their male friends. and their faces were aglow witH life and pleasure at the evenings praise Service. In. the afternoon little groups oX ladies could be seen about the campus% %guided from building to build ing and fgs6own into the mysteries of college nfe 3y one or two perspiring collegians. Or p9Rhaps, during the cooler evening hours, 8 defiant old gentleman, bearing the marks of a long life and fast one in bis corpulent figure and large stomach, might be found mopping his brow as he stopped to eye some landmark pointed out by his attentive son. The boys are all on their best behavior when the stold gentleman" is tson."
