PRESIDENT HADLEY'S WESTERN TRIP


WESTERN
BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE.
New-Haven. Conn, Jan. 12-The winter term of
Yale University opened on Tuesday President
Hadey is still absent on his Western trip He has
met the alumni in Cleveland Chicago Indianapolis
Denver and Kansas City He is to speak a the
Yale dinner at ST. Louis January H. at Louis
Vile the 10th. and Cincinnati the 18th. This
trip Of the president has been of the greatest
value TO the university. He has everywhere been
received with enthusiasm. and his accounts of the
preparations Yale is making for her bi-centennial
are arousing great interest in that celebration. At
Cleveland The plans for the buildings
first shown. President Hadey made the important
announcement that the remaining buildings in the
old brick row would all be torn down-wth the
exception of South Midde-before October. 1901
Probably the first building be removed will be
the Treasury. In regard TO South Middle, 1t IS
hoped that 1t may be saved in way AS the
building in which Nathan Hale and many other
famous Yale men once lived, 1t has many historic
associations. 1t has been suggested that the build
ing would be removed and maintained a Yale
museum. Just what its ultimate fate is to be
President Hadley has declared.
The new Yale campus will eventually be twice
the size Of the present At last Yale is build
ing for the future The new dining hall will seat
1000 and the present membership of the univer-
slty IS 100 This; it will be seen, allows for the
cradle proportion of the students eat private
dining clubs. The president stated that $25O00O
tennial fund has been expended in purchasing real
estate on the new campus. The next dormtory
to be erected will be situated facing White Hail.
and, as it is to be built from the funds available
by the Fayerweather bequest, will be called Fayer-
weather Hall Work will probably be begun on it
in the spring. Carrere & Hastings have not only
designed the buildings but have made plans
for the Improvement of the present campus, one OF
the most important being to build an arch in
Durfee Hall, making an opening toward the new
campus.
The subject for the Yale-Harvard debate Is to be
chosen by method this year. A number Of
Yale's recent intercollegiate debaters are TO meet
and select the subject which Will be announced to
Harvard before January 10. BY leaving the choice
in the hands of who have had experience
In debating it is believed that the topic finally
chosen will be especially suitable.
The college chaplain for the first half Of the
present term is Professor Charles s. Baldwin of
the rhetoric department Although the appoint
ment of Professor Henry c. Emery a professor
ship of political economy has been announced, no
mention has been made of the courses he viii
give 1t is probable that he will take the large
Junior course in economics.
