TALE'S OURRICULUM.
Changes to be Made In the sophonor
and Junior Year - The Easter Tril
of the VARSITY Team-second win
| ter Meeting Of the Yale Athletic A.
sociation-The Alumni Banquet IL
Bridgeport.
As is usual at this time of the year, ar
rangements are being made by the academ
10 faculty of Yale university for the coure,
of studies, both required and optional, dur
ing the coming college year, beginning
with September, 1893. The course o.
studies in freshman year remain I'M
changed, all tine class work being required
and divided among the classics, mathe
MATES, English aud modern languages. II
sophomore year q decided change will b
announced, by which q limited amount Of
choice In their studies Ia accorded to thu
students during the second year of thsi,
course. Six courses, each of three hours 9
week, will be offered, of which each sopho-
more must choose Eve, equivalent to fifteen
hours of GLASS work week. The aix courses
are: 1, Latin; Q, Greek; 8, mathematics;
8, modern languages. s, English. Q, phys
les. The above change evidences liberal
policy in putting the modern languages
and English on an equal footing with the
time-honored classics and mathematics,
and in adding the study of ply sizes, which
heretofore has constituted Q part of the
required work of junior year, to the courses
open to students In their ond(sophomore)
year, If they are to pursue Ii. The effect
of the proposed change will be watched
with interest. 1t is rather expected that
the sophomores will choose physics In large
numbers, deserving one of the other
courses, most likely Greek. In junior year
the amount of required work Ia cut down
from six to three hours Q week, the latter
being hereafter devoted to Q required
course In mental and moral science.
In senior year the amount of required
work remains the same az hereto
fore, namely, two hours a week in mental
and moral science. The prospectus
of elective courses, which win ap-
pear shortly, will contain q List and descrip-
ton of the courses open TO juniors and
seniors from which they select their stud
dies 30 as to fll up the required fifteen
hours week of class room work. There
are some important changes In the courses
offered. 1.-THE Philosophy of Herbert

sor Duncan; another on Educational Psy-
