STUDENTS COMING BACK.
EN TRIES IN THE COLLEGE BUILD
 IAGs OPENED YESTERDAY.

Freshman Glass Not to be as Large as Ex- | pected-Financiai Depression Said to De
 the Reason-Too Little Light in Wander
 biit-Y. NJ. c. A. Matters.
 At o'clock yesterday morning the
 entries in the various buildings on the campus opened and the undergraduate
 students of the college. at least those
 who had been lucky enough to obtain
 rooms on the campus, began to take up
 their abode in New Haven for the com ing college year. For a week past the students have been returning to the city in gradually increasing numbers, while the incoming trains Saturday and yesterday brought in large numbers. Some of the entries were open Saturday and there Was considerable moving around of furniture on the campus.
 For the next few days large numbers of trucks and express wagons will be called Into service to cart the trunks of returning collegians up the Chapel street hill.
 It is said that the freshman class Is not expected to be as large as was an- ticipated last June, as a large number Of those who have passed their exam i nations have written to Registrar Franklin B. Dexter stating that they
 would be unable 10 come to college this year. So the increase in the class of | '9S over the class of '37 will only be ten or fifteen students, The reason for this
 is that many parents are holding their ! sons back for time on account of the
 linancia' depression.
 The uc" dormitories-Vander
 White and Berkeley halls-form most
 beautiful ard fitting addition to the
 university. There is said to be some
 ssutistact!on on account of the amall-
 ness of the windows in Vanderbilt hall;
 that tke rooIns are not lighted well enough and that interior comfort and convenience has been sacrificed to ex- teror decoration. It hardly seems probable that this is so, as nearly every room in Vanderbilt Is provided with two good-sled windows. They are not as large as the windows in Berkeley and White halls, but the rooms all ap- pear to be sufficiently well lighted, ex- cept perhaps for the darkest days. From now on the university library will be open from 9:30 a. m. to p. m. At 2:50 o'clock this afternoon the en- trance examinations begin and continue
 Tuesday and Wednesday, On Wednes- | day also the condition examinations are | to be held This has brought a good | many undergraduates back in town
 sooner than they otherwise would have
 come. On Thursday morning at 8:10
 the term opens with the chapel ser- vices. The Sheffield scientific school
 also opens Thursday. The medical
 school opens Thursday, October 4. The
 art school opens Monday, October 1. The Yale Y. M. C. A. is making spe-
 cial effort to be of service to the in-
 coming students of the university. A very neat little book has been prepared
 and sent out to all the freshmen. It contains a map of the city and of the
 campus, and considerable information , concerning the city and the surround i ing places of interest
 ! A very complete list of rooms and
 boarding places has also been prepared
 and is at Dwight hall for all who are , looking for board and rooms. It is de-
 sired by the Y. M. c. A. authorities
 that all having rooms or board for stu- dents leave their names with a de scription of the rooms with the secre- tary of the Y. M. c. A. at Dwight hall
