YALE,s NEW BUILDINGS.
To be in Readiness Before the Fall
 Term Opens.

Yale has three fine new buildings
 which are nearing completion and which
 will be in readiness in plenty of time
 before the fall term opens next Septem-
 Der. The dormitory given by Frederick
 ". Vanderbilt, '76 S., in memory of his
 brother. the late Cornelius Vanderbilt, is completely finished externally; and its graceful lines now show it to be even more handsome than the first Vanderbilt
 dormitory built at Yale-the structure given by Cornelius Vanderbilt in memo ry of his son. William H. Vanderbilt,
 Yale '9S. who died during his college
 course. The first dormitory is larger,
 but plainer.
 The building nearing completion is of gray limestone and granite, its general architectureal scheme is gothic, with
 turrets and projecting oriel windows.
 The room arrangements are entirely different from those in the first Wander
 bilt dormitory. There will be fifty rooms, of which sixteen will be ar
 ranged for single occupants and the rest for two students. Some of the dou-
 ble rooms will be provided with large single bed-chambers, others with small
 CT ones. In all there will be accommo- dations for about eighty students in the dormitory. The dormitory will be the first of it's kind to be erected for the
 Sheffield Scientific school, marking the
 beginning of an elegant dormitory sys-
 tenn for the school MT. Vanderbilt has promised the school another dormitory similar in type and has given the school
 most of the land on the square bounded by Temple, Wall, College and Grove streets for dormitory system which is to be known as Vanderbilt Square.
 l The rooms and interior of the new dormitory are well along toward com pletion. At present the interior is be- i ing plastered. The iron work and fit tings are completed. The wall decora- tions, the windows and staircases will be finished in a few weeks The dormi- tory will be ready for use by May 1,
 about which time 1t is likely to be turned over by the contractors to the | heffield Scientific school Every room is fitted with electric lights and is heated | by indirect radiation. There are hand some fireplaces in each apartment. The | first choice of rooms in this dorrnitory
 will be given the members of the class of 1905 in the Sheffield Scientific school
 The building will be largely occupied by seniors. There may be few rooms left for freshmen and juniors.
 | Kirtland Hall, the second of Yale's new buildings, is also for the Sheffield
 Scientific school. It is given by Miss Lucy Boardman, of New Haven, as a memorial of her relative, the late Pro- lessor Jared Kirtland of Yale and Ohio. It will be a scientific laboratory, devo- ted to physiogranhy. Its exterior has been completed several weeks and work on the interior is being rushed through rapidly. Professor S. c. Penfield is in general charge of this branch of the school and of the building. The labora- tory's equipment is being installed. In | formally the building will be ready for use within three months. The high basement will be devoted to some phase of mining, the main floor will contain | the laboratories of mineralogy, the Brush mineralogical cabinets, and large l lecture rooms. The second floor win Sollldiil pOl dtOiiCo Ol pily SlCdl SCClOSyt lecture rooms and studies, while the l third floor will be devoted to physical geography and physiography. Kirkland Hall will more than double the facili- ties of the Sheffield Scientific school for teaching this branch of science. Kirt- 1 land Hall is located on Hillhouse ave- nue, near Grove street. It is of Long meadow stone.
 The third new building which is to be opened next fall, the Lampson Lyeeum, is the only one to be devoted for the use of, the academic or college department. The funds for this were left by the late
 William Lampson, of Leroy, N. Y, who gave Yale his estate of about six hun dred thousand dollars. The exterior is complete and the interior is beingrapid- ly finished. Lampson Hall is of brick with brownstone trimmings. It stands at the end of Berkeley and Fayerweath- CT halls on High street. It is four sto- ries high; contains large lecture room, debating rooms, the executive offices for the academic department and reci- tation rooms. There is an entrance on the west from High street and another from the Berkeley Oval on the south side
