seeks educational opportunities when they are brought in contact with dem- ocratic institutions that give equal op- portunity to all, In the early history of immigration to this country the per centage of college-b bred men was re- markedly large. This, however, has not been the case in the last half cen- tury. But the same regard for mental training and self-improvement persists in the more recent immigration that was found among the earlier ones.
 A study of the southern section sug- gests some points of interest. In the case of Kentucky and Tennessee, where we may assume that the population is not a new one but natural develop ment of the people who have been there for the last fifty years, we see marked tendency to an increased number of students, and the high regard for Yale in the minds of the people is shown by the number of parents who were born in that locality the number of grand parents being somewhat less than might be anticipated. This may point to an intellectual awakening that is of steady growth and that bespeaks much for the future of this splendidly fertile region, In the Carolinas we have constant number of parents and grandparents, with not as large a number of students as might be anticipated. This may be partly due to the ingress of northern people in the more recent development of the south, and partly due to financial causes resulting from the destruction of industry so recently.
 The whole table speaks of loyalty to Yale and would seem to point to her fu- ture prosperity.

 State Sends the Largest Numbr o1
 Students to Yale.
 Dr. Jay W. Seaver, associate director of the Yale gymnasium, has the follow- ing article on Interesting Facts About Birthplace of Yale Men and Ancestors in the last issue of the Yale Alumni Weekly:
 The material from which Yale men are made Is matter of interest not only to the faculty and governing board of the university, but to all the alumni as we'll A student of the regions that send men to Yale, discloses some valu- able points in determining not only the places from which the students them- selves come, but enables us to judge something of sectional peculiarities and possibly something of the tendency of national and local types in educational matters. It has been possible to gather some data in connection with the physi- cal examination of Yale students that throws light upon these subjects. It may be matter of interest to alumni 10 know that physical examination Is required of each man who faces the Yale gymnasium, unless a certificate is furnished by the parent or family phy- Eician requesting that this requirement. be waived and agreeing to bear the re- sponsibility for any injury that may result from the use of the gymnasium without the guidance of the instructors in charge of that department. In con- uection with these physical examina- lions the student fills out blank giving the birthplace of himself, his parents and grandparents, among other items that help in estimating the physical possibilities of the man. From the last thousand men examined in the academic department have compiled the accompanying table:

ON Harper's Bazaar.

There is SO much Jewelry now worn on
the evening gowns that one can make use
of almost anything. A funny old-fashioned
filigreed gold bracelet, with cairn-gorms set
here and there, has been utilized for max
ing most charming shoulder strap. The
stones, which originally hung all around
the bracelet suspended from fine gold
chains, were taken off and put at the two
ends when the ornament is fastened to the
gown. The clasp of the bracelet forms the
top or center piece, while four pendants of
the cairn-gorms form lines going from it.
Lower over the shoulder are three fine gold
chains, graduating in length. A pair of
bracelets can be worn in this way, but 1t is
considered more "chic" to wear only one
