 Tine New York Evening Post re- | marks: Two interesting occasions in Yale and Princeton universities, fall- | ing in the very height of the presi- | dential campaign, furnish welcome relief from the tiresomeness of over much politics. The dedication of Phelps hall at Yale assumes an im- 1 portance far beyond that attaching to 1 the opening of an ordinary college building from the fact that 1t is to be l in a sense the headquarters of classi- cal learning in the university. Occu- | pying a commanding position, and in- cluding the chief gateway into the cam- | pus, the location of this building was given significance in the work of edu- cation at Yale by the exercise attend | ing it's dedication. It was made plain that the study of the classics is to con- | tinue the groundwork of the academ- | ical department, and that whatever controversy there has been as to the | wisdom of retaining Greek and Latin in a place of prominence has been end ed at Yale, certainly for long time to come The most interesting feature of | the exercises was the tribute to the value of the classics paid by the repre- sentative of the scientific department of | the university, who noted the require ment of Latin for admission to that
 department in recent years as a sign of the times.
