SUMMER SCHOOL CLOSES.
Last Session at Yale Comes to an
End,

With yesterday the Yale summer
school became thing of the past, and
its sessions went down into history.
The last exercises of this season were
held yesterday and the students who
spent six weeks here in their pursuit
OF knowledge took their final examin-
ations and are now ready to betake
themselves home for the remainder Of
their vacations.
The lack Of interest of the very class
of persons which the school was in
tended to be of most benefit to has re-
suited in the determination to end the
career of the summer department with
this season. There were no special
exercises to mark the closing Of the
sessions.
Something over 100 students attend
ed the sessions held this year and
these were practically all from outside
this city. The students have shown a
great interest in their work the faculty
feels that the attendance does not
warrant any further sessions.
