Professor Watrous takes the place of
Professor William Robinson in the
course Of lectures on estates. His first
lecture was delivered yesterday fore
noon.
About forty members of the grad
uating class have applied for the bar
examinations to the Connecticut bar,
which viii be held on June IL and 10.
The regular school examination will be
held on June s, 16 and 49, Commence
ment exercises will take place on the
22d.
1t is rumored that Professor Robin
son will return from Washington next
year, at least for one course of lee
lures. 1t is to be hoped that there is
a possibility of his return as his sue
cess as an instructor is too valuable
to be entirely lost by the Yale Law
school.

| BOB COOKS CRITICISM.
Bob Cooks criticism of the Yale var
| sity crew is: 1.-THE crew as a whole
reach too much with their shoulders by
| allowing them to stretch in their sock
| cts The shoulder should be held back
square and rigid. The men will prob
| ably improve in this respect during the
| present week, and also in handling their
! oars so as to get them in the water at
| the right angle and in carrying them
! through in uniform manner. The
lack of experience on the part of the
new men inclines to make them artifi-
cially stiff Individual criticism of the
new crew follows: Langford '97S., stroke
His fault Is tendency to feather I'M
der water at the end Of his stroke. He
does not make a keen enough catch
while the boat is under Roadway. Ad-
| justments in rigging and more prac-
| tice will held him. Holds his oar too
| firmly. Treadway SO, Rows in ex-
cellent form, only showing stiffness with
his wrists. Longacre '96, 6-Faulty in
| swing and irregular feathering. Bailey
| '97, 5-Inclined to row out at the end of
the stroke and not to row through.
| Rodgers '9S, 4-Sits on his seat so as to
lean in opposite direction from his oar.
| Faulty in feathering and wrist action.
Beard '96, 3-Carrys stroke too far aft,
getting oar caught at end. Pulls last
| part of stroke with arm. Brown '96, 2
| Slow on the catch. Does not keep up
with the boat when at full Roadway.
\ Simpson '97, bow-Does not handle oar
with freedom and that degree of con-
| -
the blade in proper position. Does not
carry his shoulders square in carrying
stroke through and inclined to finish
with arms
THE NEW DORMITORY.
| The schedule of prices in the rooms
in the new dormitory on York street
! the first large structure of the kind
| erected by the Yale corporation, shows
| that twelve rooms are fixed at $3.50 per
\ week, twenty-four rooms at 50, TWEEN
| ty-four rooms at SO. so, four rooms at S.,
eight rooms at Sc, and eight rooms at
| 81. AS the rooms are occupied during
thirty-six weeks of each year, the gross
| annual revenue from the eighty rooms
| in the new building will be SILL
| which may be roughly estimated at
| about per cent. on the cost of the
| building and land or about per cent.
| net over the regular 4 per cent. inter-
| est rate on ordinary conservative in
vestment.
| OF the eighty rooms in the new DOR
| mitory the twenty-highest priced are
| double rooms, the structure thus con-
taining sixty single rooms, ranging from
| $3.50 to $3.50 per week. The average of
