 The Yale campus is again awaken ing from It's yearly summer quiet ana assuming an air of hustle and activity Repairs on the different buildings are being hurried forward as fast as pos sible to be ready for the opening Of the entries a fortnight from to- day. vanderbilt hall is practically completed and stands ready to receive It's coming occupants. The high iron fences in front and between Osborn hall and Vanderbilt hall, and the Art school and Vanderbilt hall, have been put up, but the gates have not yet been put in. The decorators are now at work on the apartments which are to be occupied by Cornelius Wander bilt, Dr., of the Senior class. They will not finish their work for week or two yet, and when completed it will be the most elegant suite of rooms on the cam pus. The interior of this dormitory throughout is complete in every re- spect and finished with degree of taste and elegance which makes 1t one of the finest college buildings In the country. The walls of the different en- tries are all of white glazed bricks. Every study Is provided with win dow seat. and an elegant mantel and fireplace. Grass has now grown up on the plot in front of the hall, and the carbonized stone walks have been laid so that everything about the premises has a more finished appearance than 1t has had at any time previously. .---.
 The site of old North Middle college has been graded and will be turfed over this fall. The work on Berkeley and White halls does not seem to be as neaF complete, although the work men are devoting all their time to fin- ishing the interior. A high iron fence is also being erected in front of these halls. A carbonized stone walk has been laid in the rear of the buildings along High street and in front on Elm street. The little round brick build ing on Elm street, which is now used by the workmen for tool house has aroused considerable curiosity. It is to be used as a porter's lodge, and is the first time that the experiment has been tried at an American college,
 Another building which promises to be very fine one is that being erected on College street near Wall, and which will be the future home of the Sheffield Scientific school chapter of the Delta Psi, better known as "the Tea Compa- n.y." or "43' the latter numerals re- ferring to the old home of the fraterni- ty on College street. The new home will be known as "St. Anthony's Hall." Delta Psi was founded at Yale in 1S68 and is to-day the leading fraternity of the Sheffield scientifllce: sschYq2tol. Book and Snake,'' or "the Cioister" is close rival of the Tea, Company, and for many years has been the only "Shef." society that owned its own club house or dormitory.: The Tea Company men have always rented g. house and, lived together. but this arrangement was far from satisfactory, as an ordinary dwelling house could accommodate. but 'smaN portion of the men who belong to the society. At one time the Tea Company men had house at 61 Grove street and later another on Temple. street. Then there was ap interval of years during which they had no per manent home, and finally eight or nine years ago rS3 College street was rented and has since been known as the home of the Tea Company.

 A number of years ago the society erected large and handsome chapter house at the corner of College and Wall streets. The new dormitory will ad- join this, but will have no connection with it as far as entrances are con- cerned The architecture of the new building will be in keeping with that of the chapter house, and the material will be the same, namely East Haven sandstone, with tile trimmings and tile roof s+..... 7< ...,..,,-
 The dimensions will be, 75x90 feet and the shape of the building will be an "L," the shorter wing adjoining the chapter house,
 The parlors for the building have been made with great care and the ar arrangements will be as near perfect as possible. The Sheffield faculty and tAc CO1 pOI dllOu AdNC UOlu cApleSSGu themselves as greatly pleased both with the idea and the plan of the dor mitory, and the members are looking forward. to its completion as marking . new era in the fraternity's existence at Yale. One of the chief features of -he building will be a handsome libra ry, which will be stocked with hand some reference books for the scientific students, and which will be a conven- ient and valuable. place for study. This idea of having library in the dormitory Is a new one, none of the other Shef. dormitories having any, thing in addition to their sleeping and study rooms but a general lounging room.
 The entrance to the dormitory will lead into a vestibule, from which double doors will open into a grand hallway and leunging room. This room will be irregularly shaped and in one corner will be the main staircase. On the opposite. side will be. the en- trance to the library, which will be in the wing of the building, which will face.'on College street and adjoin the chapter house. The general dimensions of the hallway will be 27 30 feet and those of the library 20 30 feet. There will be large open fireplace in the hallway or lounging room, and the li- brary will be raised three or four steps above this room and be separated by
