with chapel services at $40 A. N. but they will
be conducted under the new order OF things.
The seat occupied by President Timothy
Dwight at these services. for the last thirteen
years. will have a new occupant, President
Arthur Twining Hadley the thirteenth head OF
the institution. With the passing out OF the
clerical line OF presidents at Yale. it becomes
necessary TO change the plan OF the chapel ex-
ercises. Several plans we're considered and
finally IL was decided to have number OF chap
lains chosen from the Faculty. who would
In turn assume tho duty OF reading
from the Bible and offering prayer
in place Of the president. The change was a
reversion to the old order Of things at Yale
rather than an innovation, Tor years ago
Chapel was conducted in this very manner.
Six mem bers OF the Faculty have already been
chosen. each to take charge for six wesks.
They are Bernadotte Perrin. Professor OF
Greek Language and Literature Arthur M.
Wheeler Duriee Professor OF History John @.
Schwab. Professor OF Political Economy L.
Hershey Sheath. Professor OF Philosophy
William Lyon Phelps. Assistant Professor OF
EnkllbH anu 1ndIltS DedIs AbSibtahs
Professor of Rhetoric. Prof. Perrin is at the
head of this body OF chaplains and In general
charge OF the work President Hadley will take
no active part in the exercises. but will. when
possible. be present on the platform In aca-
demic robes.

the President as he leaves the Chapel after the
service will not he dropped but that Is a matter
which will lie wholly with the Senior Class.
The general feeling Is that the custom. which

kert up. The Members Of the choir will lie
asked to wear the regular academic gown dur
ing the service. This is merely a move toward
a more dignifled and formal appearance Here
tofore the college choir has presented many
startling effects in earb. particularly after the
spring tailor has been at work.
