 The nine plays with University of Penn
 sylvania this afternoon at the Field.
 The President and Mrs. Dwight gave the
 last reception of the year to the members of
 the university at Dwight Hall last evening.
 The reception was very well attended and very pleasant.
 Prof. H. P. Wright has quite lately com piled history of the class of '6S, of which he was the valedictorian, making the highest record for scholarship ever by any at Yale. The history gives @ brief account of the class while in college, and of the reunions 1 that have taken place since graduation, spe- | cial attention being given to the vigennial ! last year, in commemorstion of which event | the book was written. Then follows the ! usual biographical record of each member down to the present year. The Glee club met Friday evening after rehearsal and elected H. W. Lee go p1esi- dent for the ensuing year, to succeed | Sage '89.
 | Yale certainly needs additional new dor mitories almost as inperatively as the new Gym. The freshmen begin to choose their rooms for next year to-day, having only 8 \ disposal which many of the sophomores rather than take left the campus. But very few | rooms in the new dormitories were ! left, even when the juniors finished I selecting, which the sophs. soon claimed. ! It seems rather hard luck that 8 man who | for two years has either put up with an infe1 | rior or lived in the city, when it comes his Ijunior year, must again endure the dissom- | forts of damp and unpleasant apartments or else seek the kindly shelter of the city. The nine was photographed by Pach Sat ! urday and the pictures will be on sale in ! about two weeks, in time for commence ment.
 Prof. Knapp began the season of seni-an- nual examinations yesterday afternoon with I his division in first year Spanish. A meeting was called last evening of the junior class to take action in regard to the freshman year, the former amounting to $6S 1 and the latter to $4S. Prolonged cheering ! greeted Jackson as he ascended to take the chair. The motion to levy an assessment on the class to liquify the debt was carried and I committee of five, Bsyard, Warmer, B. Brooks, Barry, James, was appointed to col lect 1t.
