 Yale has made a new departure in the creation of an office known as bur sar The bursar will have charge of all the collections of rents and tuitions of the members of the academic depart ment, and will also have a general charge of the buildings and grounds, the latter regulation being effected, as before, through the college inspector of grounds. The creation of this office is in the direction of a simpler and more systematic working of the mechanical affairs of the treasury of the academic department.

The dean of that school said yesterday that he was not aware of it. MT Thomas. it is understood, has entered the post-grad- uate department and will pursue stud ies in English literature and philosophy.
