date rear of the so-called brick row. The re-
moy nova of this treasury building at an
building for the public offices of the university
will be of great benefit to the institution, both
with reference to the opening of the interior of
the quadrangle and as affording better accom-
modations for the central authorities-the presi-
dent and fellows, and the treasurer. It IS be
near neighborhood of the college campus, which
would serve very valuable purpose: Such a
building might also include large hall for the
public meetings and exercises of the university -

be nearer to Lawrence dormitory than to Osborn

that the quadrangle will be completed and the
interior may be opened by the removal of the old
buildings within the next few years. If this
can be accomplished, and the plan of the quad
rangle can thus be fully realized, the graduates
and students of Yale will rejoice with an un-
mingled joy ever afterwards. Let the quad
rangle be once in its true beauty and there
will be no desire to have the old buildings re-

no unfortunate error is made our college NAV

The need of more land and of a larger building

mencement is urged. The report states that the
contributions to the alumni university fund, es-
tablished last year, amounted to $9,25s.60 before
