 The Yale university catalogue was Issued yesterday afternoon and will be put on general sale next Monday af- ternoon. The catalogue contains about ninety more pages than that of last year and each page is somewhat larger, allowing for a broader margin
 Aside from introductory matter the catalogue has been considerably re- modeled and divided into seven parts, each part being preceded by fly leaf. The titles of these several parts are as follows:
 I. Officers of the university.
 II. Government of the university.
 III Departments of instruction.
 ". Institutions connected with the university.
 V University lecture courses and concerts.
 VI. Degrees and honors, 1900.
 VII. Lists of students, directory and index.
 The following are among the new fea- lures introduced All the names in university and departmental faculties are given in full. An ordinary business calendar going up to the close of the college year 1901-1902 has been intro duced The name of the dean of each department has been placed after that of the president and a dash introduced between these two administrative ofti- cers and the remaining members of the faculty. A chronological table giving the most important dates in the devel- opnent of the university has been in serted as well as the act of incorpora- tion of the board of trustees of the Sheffield Scientific school The college church is for the first time adequately treated not only the names of the chaplains but also the full list Of preachers for the college year being given. The breadth of the Yale pulpit will be particularly noticeable. During the coming term the Baptists will be represented by President Faunce, the Methodists by pr. Buckley, the conser- vative Unitarians by Professor Pea body, the Presbyterians by Dr. Van Dyke the Congrega by Pro- lessor Bacon and President Harris, the Episcopalians by Bishop Potter and Dr. Rainsford. An article on the lec- ture courses and concerts open to all students of the university is also pro vided. Hitherto some of the lecturers have been mentioned under one or more of the departments, but many of them have been omitted The full list of Yale public lectures to which there are some 800 subscribers, is also given.
 An effort has been made to make the lcatalogue more useful for reference purposes. With this end in view refer sef.-s numbers are given in the direc- tory to the pages on which the posi- ton, address and elective courses of every officer are mentioned. An index to the elective courses is also provided on page 211. Various statements which hitherto have been repeated under each department such as the list of places where examinations are given and the library and gymnasium opportunities, are given but once with cross refer eneces. A summary of students by states is also added. This is particu- larly instructive as showing the broad field from which the Yale student body is drawn. The total number of stu dents is shown to be 2,542 a gain of 25 I over last year.
 The idea which the editor of the cata- logue has had in mind has been to show the university development at | Yale. Instead of giving the office hours | of only a few officers of the univer- sity, as hitherto, complete list is given. The emphasis on the general privileges of the university contained i in Part " is also noticeable. In the | catalogue proper the department which | shows the most complete rearrange- ment of material is the Divinity school. The Forest school matter is of course, printed in the university catalogue for the first time. It is hoped that for fa- cility of reference and general repre- sentation of the co-ordina tion of the different departments into a great uni versity with it's general university privileges, this catalogue will be satis- factory ot students and graduates.
 Owing to the greatly increased size of the catalogue the cost price will be fifty cents instead of forty cents.
