YALE LANDMARKS TO GO
All But One Of the Old Buildings
to Be Demolished.
The Lyceum. North College. and the
Treasury building All to Give Way
to New Structures Traditions
which Centre About Them-The In
ssstitution of the University Bully.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Jan. 19.-The an
nouncement has just been made that all
the buildings. save one. which a quarter
of a century ago constituted Yale College
would be destroyed during the summer
vacation of 1901 Three buildings noted
in the history of old Yale will be pulled
down to make way for new Yale. These
are Lyceum Hall, North College, and the
Treasury Building. All three stand with
in the old quadrangle, and have for gen.
erations been landmarks at Yale. When
they have been destroyed only Une of al!
Iale'S old buildings will be left. This will
be South Middle, and it is generally I'M
derstood that it will be preserved in
some form as a connecting link between
the university of today and the college
founded two centuries ago.
The Lyceum was erected almost 100
years ago. The war of the Revolution
and the unpopularity OF the theological
and political views of President Clap had
made Yale poor in pocket, so poor in
fact hat there was not money enough to
keep the college buildings in repair.
President Clap secured froT, me Connec-
ticut Legislature money for the erection
of South College, and really we'd the
way for the erection of Ly ceum Hall,
which was built early in the admins
tration of President Dwight, his sue
cessor.
President Dwight came into Office with
a change for the better in the times and
soon secured money for the erection OF
Lyceum was begun in 1901 and completed
in 1891. 1t was erected as recitation
hall, and as such was greatly needed
Prior to its erection the professors had to
hold recitations in the Railways of South
Middle and Berkeley Halls, where the
students sat on benches. The first and
second floors of the building were used
as recitation halls. while the third floor
contained the college library On the
second noor was a room known as the
theological chamber, where President
Dwight heard his classes recite and de-
livered his lectures. One of the histories
OF the old college describes this room as
follows:
Here. it is said, on some of the cold
days of winter DR.. Dwight would sit in
front of the fireplace. at the north end
of the room, with his back to the stu
dents and his feet to the fire, and hold
them as glad listeners to his Instructions
from the ringing of the bell at II o'clock
till they were called to dinner at l.
This must have been an odd recitation.
The professor today can hardly imagine
such scene with the venerable president
gazing at the logs in the open fireplace,
and his students scattered about in the
rear OF the room, carrying on two-hour
recitation. In modern Yale the professor
sits on raised platform so as to get
the best possible view of his students.
and. in order TO be popular, cuts his reci-
tation down to ifty-fve minutes and

Leo GeschicIStcr.

A thief last night entered the house Of
Leo Geschickter, 1904 Seventh street
northwest. and cleared out the larder on
the first floor of provisions and considera-
able silverware. He found rear door
unlocked, it is said, while the family were
at church and hastily went through the
dining room and pantry, evidently in
search OF catables.
The robbery was committed about 9
o'clock and was discovered when Mr..
Geschickter and family returned home
half an hour later. One of the family
went into the dining room Of the house
for drink of water and noticed general
disorder about the table and in the larder

W,ALCOTT AND MARTIN

Unless a club comes forward and of fers purse soon for the fight between Joe Walcott and Denver Ed Martin the mill will have to be declared off. A week ago Ed Homan. on behalf of the San Francisco A. C., promised to notify his club regarding the bout, but up to date Billy Madden, Martins man. ager, has not heard from him. Homan said that the Western organization would give q purse of $1,O00 for the fray. When the match was made Mad den deposited $1,000 with Al Smith. who is to choose the referee and act as stakeholder. Up to yesterday, how ever, Walcott's manager had not GOV cred the deposit. 1t is thought that he will leave his money with Smith until he receives assurance that a club has bid for the fight. Madden said yester- day that he is ready to let Martin meet Walcott i'll private if 1t comes to a pinch. All he wants Is that the mill shall come off as soon as possible Mar tin is busy getting into good condition.

They do not have school suf- frage, only school committee suffrage, which is another thing They are not consulted in the nomination of the ticket for school committee, cannot att tend the caucuses, and are only al- lowed to vote for list of men of whom they know nothing, who are put in nomination by politicians of whom they know nothing.
