The record OF the quaint and curl
Gus incidents in Yale history Is too
long for newspaper article. Enough
has been given TO show the humble
beginnings OF the institution. which
now numbers magnificent buildings

OF Yale's early buildings the only
remnant left standing Is Old South
Middle College, which was begun In
1850 and finished two years later. The

The Yale campus is a large quad
rangle. surrounded by the university
buildings. The changes which have
taken place within the past twenty
years have worked such a revolution
that old graduates hardly recognize
their alma mater when they return to
New Haven Even the venerable
Fence" the center of so much inter
est in college traditions, has given
way to modern ideas. Now newer
dormitories. Battell Chapel. the IL
braries. the art school and the recita-
ton buildings shut in the four sides
OF the campus. The university owns
most of the two adjoining squares of
land. and thus more than a dozen
buildings are not on the campus prop
er. These are to form the nucleus of a
second and in time third quadrangle
similar to that already completed.

William n Vanderbilt, who died in
his junior year at Yale. The magnif-
cent gymnasium was erected in 1892
by subscriptions from graduates, and
most of the new buildings have been
gifts. Between Alumni Hall and the

The buildings of the Sheffield
Scientific School stand three blocks
away from the campus. 1t was named
in honor OF Joseph E. Sheffield, who in
1860 bought and rebuilt the old medi-
cal college and gave fund of $4,000
for three professorships. The law
school has comparatively new
building. and the medical school has
the reconstructed College Street
Church. 1t is apparent that Yale is
richly endowed with splendid build
ings in almost every department, aad
the new structures are adde5 to meet
its expanding mission. Allied to tae
university in sense are the buildings
OF the college fraternities, in which
Yale is especially rich. Among these
