YALE FRESHMAN DoRN11ToRY.
(New York Times.) )


 Yale College has just brought hap pily to close the crusade. started some years ago by Dean Henry F. Wright. against the private dormitor- rich and fashionable element of the freshman and sophomore classes The new Wright memorial dormitory on the campus opened last week for freshmen, will enable those entering college to mingde and form friendships according to the laws of natural se- lection. It will discourage cliques. It is democratic.
 No more significant and graceful tribute could have been made to the work Of Dean Wright, now Emeritus; Frederick S. Jones, who vigorously undertook three years ago to carry out the policy begun by MT. Wright, forcing the owners Of the sophomore dormitories to turn them into apart rnent houses, and bringing the sopho- 1nores to the campus. The private dor rnitories for the freshmen constituted a more difficult problem, but with the help of the Yale Alumni on the occa- sion of Dean Wright's retirement af- ter twenty-five years Of devoted ser housed in college buildings and under college jurisdiction, and influence was fulfilled in the form of this memorial.
 One thing alone makes the change difficult. Yale is suffering from grow ing pains. The incoming freshman class, numbering 4O4 men, is the lar gest in the history of the old college; therefore, some freshmen must still find rooms in private houses. The Times is informed by Dean Jones that if this increase in attendance contin- large buildings belonging to the col lege and turn 1t into another fresh man dormitory to accommodate the entire membership. Yale College is i'll offering college residence to practi- cally its entire student body.

STEEL CARS.
tNew Haven Union}

Had steel cars been used instead af wooden ones on the express train wrecked at Wlestport there would have been no burning of the cars and it is Impossible to tell whether the fatali- ties recorded were not due to the wooden cars catching on fire rather than to the wreck itself
 Certainly, upon all fast express trains the company should give it's passen- gers the maximum amount of protec- ton, and this must include the use of steel cars and the maintenance of safe crossoverS for all such trains.
 We shall note with interest how many more horrible wrecks will have to occur bfore the New Haven road does it's full duty to the travelling pub lie in this matter.

REVIEWS
 FROM Our Exchanges
THE RAILROAD WRECK.
(CouTier-Journal.) )

(Cour1er-Journal.)
 So far as one can judge, the awful railroad wreck at WeStport, Thursday afternoon, was the result of the engin- set of tracks to another at an exces- sive rate of speed. It cannot be dis posed of as an aot of God, in that it might not have been avoided and can not be accounted for. It could have been avoided and can be accounted for
 Plainly the dead engineer was un- der two influences, at least at the mo- his schedule time and he was making 1t up. In the second place he had taken that cut over hundreds Of times and 1t never occurred to him that there was any risk in taking 1t at the rate of speed he had developed. So far the effort he was making to the railroad company can be held ex- cIusively responsible. In the last an alysis the public is equally responsible for train schedules. They demand shall, if possible, be made up. They lay great stress upon reaching their destination as soon aS possible, and they resent arriving there later than speed Is an essential of public content, there will always be risk in the rum ming of trains. with an occasional wreck to prove it.
 The confidence of the dead engineer that he could take the cut across with safety was natural. He had taken 1t great many times and probably many times under the same conditions Upon what theory should he suddenly have become suspicious and tinnid :? Human nature is constantly accustom- ing itself to risks simply because they have never yet developed into a, catas- troPhe. Nor shall we be very much encouraged in the belief that the rail- road management can effect an inn provement in these things until the public takes hold and agrees to be req sonabIe itself in demanding transpor- tation service.

WILDING AGAIN
BRITISH CHAMP

England has had some excellent
tennis this year, and in the efal-
lenge round of the singles Tor the ALI
England championships. played at
Wimbledon, recently, A. F. Wiiding
defeated A. w. Gore, the challenger,
by three seats to one. The results
were 81, Sd, 4-6, and Cd.
This Is the second year In success
sion that Mr.. WildinS has won the
championship, Mr.. Gore In The finais
had beaten Mr.. Colbert, the French-
player. who had done 50 we'll that he
.wss considered q FAIR contestant for
the title. s.
Although England may be going
more for tennis this; year than the
United States, and there may be more
and better players In England, take
the average, than there are IN the
United States, Il is noticeable that
some of the English critics, like those
of this country, are calling for new
blood and suggesting that those who
have fondness for the game devote
themselves to attainment of higher
perfection that they may represent
the Kingdom in matches OF the fu-
ture. s..
IF there is not an influx OF new
blood" says one writer, eft may be
only q question of time before the,
champion of Great Britain will be q.
resident of France. Belgium or the
United States, or perhaps Canada will
take the honor away from us, al
though We could take better comfort
in losing it to Canada" -. ~
Some Improvement will have to be
noticed in the rising generation OF
tennis players before the
title will be captured from England.

Tennis Players Will Be
Given a Ranking Again

eastern players have hitherto, perhaps
unjustly, monopolized the ranking list
each season Under his direction the
ranking committee is to nationalist
the game, bringing to the front every
player of prominence in every state,
Mr.. Adee said in an interview:
This is the most mOmentous move
ment the association has ever under
taken. We expect to bring out hither-
to unknown players in distant sections
of the country. England has twenty
men of the first class to our one. We
hope to remedy this, and thousands of
letters are being sent all over the
country, so that records may be in our
hands by Sept. %. The playing rules
are also being completely revised by
H. w. Slocum and his committee, and
an active administration is beginning
for the American game"
