men will be at the Henley race. The
prevailing impression in boating circles
is that the Yale crew will win, though
considerable anxiety is felt as to the

Yale quarters.
The following petition is being circu-
lated among the members of the aca-
demic senior class at Yale:
To the Corporation and Fellows of Yale
University:
| We, the members of the senior class
in Yale college, humbly and respectful
! ly petition the corporation and fellows
of Yale university that the site for the
statue of ex-President Woolsey be
changed from the proposed one in front
of Durfee fence. We believe that if
the statue We're erected here it would
interfere with the senior games, and
that there are other places on the cam
pus equally available and more appro-
| pirate. In presenting this petition We
wish to express our deep regret for and
! hearty condemnation of the thought
less and unbecoming action of those
\ who tried to interfere with the erection
of the statue
