 Popular Young Professor Solved
 . Problem.
 Rev. MT. Williams, formerly pastor at Meriden and lately employed on the Century dictionary, but now having charge of the correction of the sophomore competitions, was at the university yester- day.
 A sophomore division yesterday tried to get the best of a popular young professor. He is in the habit of coming to his recita- ton room with very slight margin on the | time for his class. He came to his recita- tion room within few seconds of 12 o'clock yesterday and found the class awaiting him with their watches in their hands. The professor walked up to the door, but found the keyhole filled with putty. There was not much time to de- eide. He Is a man of mighty physique and stepping back with one blow he broke the lock just as the clock was striking, and the ''cut" that was planned for didn't come. Keyholes are not likely to be plugged again on this instructor.
 The editors of the Yale Pot Pourri for the season of 1892 are: H. B. McCor- mick, w. N. Runyon, Dan Lord, third.
 Feeling the honor of the class dependent upon their success, these gentlemen have l producing a number that shall outshine its predecessors.
 About the middle of April it may be expected, tastily bound in ecru linen with blue or red border Its dimensions are to
 be 0xS inches, wider than last year's by
 two inches President Porter and Presi- : dent Dwight receive you at the doorway; their portraits form the frontispiece. This will be an especially valuable feature of
 the work, making it in some degree a memorial number.
 yl The first part of the book ia taken up as usual with .he catalogue and university 5 directory. This is followed by the record of the prizes and academic honors of the past year.
 Secret societies occupy the next division arranged in order of age. Each society list is headed by a handsome steel engrav ing of the society's badge, and on tht . opposite page appears the chapter house , provided the society is so fortunate as tt photogravures most excellently repro duced After the mysterious comes th' literary department, then the athletic pictures of all the teams, elevens, hines eights, Mott Haven team, etc., togethe
 with the organization and membership o 3 each. Under each branch of athletics i t given a minute and accurate table of al the contests since the foundation of tn particular organization. These canno . fail to interest every Gold grad" ant Il every "sub-fresh. ."-the one for memory 8 sake, the other for anticipation. This de
 partment opens with a full page plctur '- by McVicker, the well-known New Tor e | artist, who also introduces us to the de j. partment of miscellany.
 o Under this head cnme banjo and gle l. clubs, with photogravures of the clubs i T. groups; the officers of the University clut @ and the eating clubs, each one with e handsome headpiec by someone of the f, ls miliar Record illustrators-Thomson, I r. Barber, Rogers, Terriberry and others IS This number Is eminently pictorial nun
 Der and for that reason is especially inte
 esting. The cuts are original, well-ex'
 cuted and pertinent. It is a matter ( K competition between the eating clubs
 have fine cuts in the Pot Pourri, whic rs thus furnishes an index of the growth ( i- artistic ideas and execution in undergrad uate lite.
 to What wonder then that this annual er eagerly sought for by the fair friends a. the college and devoured with feveri. nj haste by younger brothers and pre-
 schoolboys In fact, no frst-class boy |, school is complete nowadays without tl III Pot Pouri; it Is an important factor in C. preparatory course. From its brig ,e pages many a lad forms his first rosy ide' n' of college life. He follows the illustr N Nae tions right through into the very mid 'h of the advertisements; he knows the 0
 gauizstion of college life better than mo ne ne of those actually in college; from it a' learns the names of New Hsven's stree I'll and the addresses of it's frt-c class busine
 firms. Altogether, the forthcoming P
 Pouri will be credit to its editors al la. the college.
