Professor Frank K. Sanders present
ed his resignation as dean Of the Yale
Divinity school and professor of Biblical
history and archaeology. 1t was ac-
cepted by the corporation, to take effect
at the close of the present academic
year. He has been called to the Sec
retaryship of the Congregational Sun
day School and Publishing society and
will enter on his new duties at Boston
on leaving Yale. The reasons inducing
Professor Sanders to lay down his
work at Yale grow out of the limita-
tions of the income of the Divinity
school Some curtailment of its ex-
penses seems inevitable. Dean San
ders has, therefore, voluntarily Offered
his resignation to the corporation as the
best means, in his judgment, of bring
ing the expenditures of the school with.
in its income. He withdraws from the
deaconship of the seminary with the
affectionate esteem and good will Of
his associates, and their sincere regre
that such action seems necessitated BY
financial limitations. Professor San
ders, however, at the special reques
of the corporation, will find time mex
year to deliver a course of lectures al
the Divinity school on religious peda
gogy.
