CHI ANGELS IN YALE.
All Recitations Will Be Heard On
 Washington's birthday.

New Haven. Conn. Feb 13.-The faculties of the undergraduate de-
 partments of Yale University have de- cided that all recitations shall be held as usual on Washington's birthday. In former years, recitations have been omitted after 9:3O T. m. The Sopho- more -Freshman rush has always been a feature of the day ilr spite of faculty edicts, and it is possible that this may have been the cause of the present action. The reason assigned is that the present term opened one day later than usual. It has been de- cided to omit all exercises on Mem orial day.
