YALE IS VISITED
 BY HUNDREDS DAILY Foreigners Excursionists, Shore Residents and Yale
 Grads Come. Ga '. D. ANS BLAZE TRAIL August is the Big Month for Seeing Famous Scenes of
 College Life.

The quickest way to get through Yale, and at the same time to increase ones knowledge is to follow the guides who leave the portals of Lampson hall six times every week day. Two hum dred people daily is the present aver age number who do this, and these depart with an idea of the university not to be gained in any other way. August is the big month for the two guides who expect to handle five and six hundred every day hereafter. At present tlirty-five or forty sightseers go on each one of the expeditions, but little later one hundred will journey the rounds together.
 MT. George Thrall and Edward Man ming are officially decked out as guides and are scheduled to lead out parties at ten, eleven and twelve in the morn ing ,and at two and three and four o'clock in the afternoon. The trip cov- CTS many interesting buildings and sac- red spots. and an hour and half is the time length for inspection.
 Beginning at Lampson hall which visitors single out by its location at the end of the court and by its clock, the tourists wend their way to the Yale gymnasium, exploring the unique tro- phy room and the other features of a splendidly equipped gym. Then Alumni hall is visited and it's importance re- lated, Dwight hall, the religious seat of the college life, Is entered, and next in line is the Library. Following the Library the Art school building offers visitors a study of valuable produc- tions, and interesting student master pieces. A suite of rooms in Wander bilt are thrown open to public gaze, and after a glimpse at luxury the guide leads to osborne Hall At Battel Chapel there is pause, while the history and anecdotes are told of 1t. A visit to the corporation room in Woodbridge hall follows, and the end is reached at the Yale Dining hall in Woolsey. At all times except Saturday afternoon this entire list of attractions is open
 Foreigners, especially English col- lege men, excursionists, shore residents, westerners, collegians and old Yale grads show up every day to enjoy a sight of famous Yale, and parents of preparatory school boys come 10 look over the prospective college for their young hopefuls.
 l The guides are expected, and best 1 of all are prepared, to answer questions ranging from curriculum queries to cus- toms, expense nof living and kind of climate. For instance, Why are there no windows in the secret society tombs, and how on earth do they see or breathe in them?"
 Does President Hadley drop in upon the students in the class rooms and, like a High school principal, inquire into the personal affairs of the schol- ars?"
 Many are surprised that college men have to attend. chapel every morning, and the same are delighted that fresh- men must take regular physical ex- l erclse

 The wife of an '04 man went through with the guide the other day, remark ing that her husband three years ago received a diploma at Yale and dlplo- ma at Woodmont on the same day, one of them being a marriage certificate.

 The guides have been on duty since the first of July and will continue tc play the pilot up until the first of Oc- tober when the college opens. At that time visitors will be welcomed indi- vidually and collectively by self-ap- pointed masters of ceremonies, whose moving spirit is that of Yale.
