pers will be placed on the files. On
Wednesday evenings Shelf. Bible class
will be held there.
There is no intention to separate the
academic and scientific departments,
but as Mr.. Salmon, secretary of the
Yale Y. M. G. A., says, Heretofore the
strongest bond between the two depart
ments has been the athletic bond, but
| as soon as the scientific department be-
comes interested in religious matters
| there will be this bond between the two
which will hold them closer together
The first religious meeting of the fresh
| man class was held in Dwight hall last
evening in the 80 room, and was con-
Quoted by T. F. Archibald '96 About

| President Dwight addressed the gen
eral religious meeting of the university
at Dwight hall last evening and well
coined the incoming class. During the
| course of his remarks he spoke of three
things to be cultivated by students
First, the cultivation of personal rela-
tions with Christ; second, cultivation
of prayerful spirit, and third, the cul-
tivation of carefulness in the little
| things of life so that the Christian life
might be made attractive His re-
marks were direct and sympathetic
A new course has been started in
Yale this year, and will be carried on
during the first year as an experiment
1t is the course in modern novels under
DR.. William Lyon Phelps, and there are
25O taking the course. The object of
the course is to teach students to read
standard novels in a way to strengthen
their mentalpowers instead of as a men,
tai debauch. A different novel is read
every week, and at the end of the week
each student is required to write a
short review of the book.
