YALE UNIVERSITY.
PROFESSOR PHELPS AND THE LAW SCHOOL
ATHLETIC VICTORIES AND THE
SIZE OF CLASSES

evr-rJaven Conn. March 16.-The death OF Pro-
fessor Edward j. Phelps is one of the severest
losses the university has sustained The Yale Law
School has been built up rapidly during the last
few years in the courses il offers and the per-
sonnel of its students. and Professor Phelps was
deeply interested In the schools advancement.
His course offered to the academic seniors was one
Of the most popular and valuable courses IN the
entire curriculum. 1t not only his grasp OF his
subject that the admiration of his students,
but his personality invariably attracted them. He
was one of the strongest members OF the Yale rae
ulty, and his death, coming at period or ex-
pansion and growth. is a heavy loss His successor
viii be appointed at future meeting OF the corpo-
ration Judge Townsend will continue TO conduct
his classes.
The important undergraduate event OF the month
is the annual Harvard debate. Six men have sur
y:ved the various competitions, and from them the
three who are speak against the Harvard de-
baters VIII be chosen on Monday. The coaching
has been intrusted to Nathan A. Smythe 81, at
present a member of the senior class OF the Law
School The aim this year is to train the men to
think rapidly their feet, and avoid set speeches
Yale has been rather weak in rebuttals, but this
defect viii be remedied this year. number of old
debaters in college are giving the debating
team advice but the faculty not coaching, and
are leaving entire charge of the matter In the
hands of the students themselves. The sophomore
freshman debate is to be held this month, and as
classes it will be an Interesting meeting

affecting the sizes of the classes entering Yale.
The result of the investigation is that there is no
truth in the statement frequently made that ath-
letic victories mean an increased attendance. The
worst athletic year In Yale's annals -1S9S-was
followed by an increase I'm both the academic and
scientific classes the former being the largest one
that has ever come Yale. On the other hand,
the year 1895 shows the greatest decrease in the
athletic years IN one Of W Which Yale was Victorious
in every branch of college sports.
President Hadley has been addressing alumni
meetings in New-York and Pennsylvania the pres
ent week The season for alumni dinners is nearly
over and those held this year have been more
largely attended than usual. owing to the interest
felt by Yale graduates in the new epoch of Yale
life.
The essays for the junior exhibition have been
handed the committee Of judges. Thirty
three men have written for the prize-eight more
than last year The two most popular subjects
were Nathan Hale eight essays, and Andrew
