nlent was made at Yale to-day that gr-
Tangeiieuts haG been completed with

ries. This is possible for the first time In
nifty years, or since Yale began It's mod
crn expansion.
Two large dormitories In York street are
especially affected by the change, and the
arrangement just reached by the faculty
and their proprietors has required consid-
cradle diplomacy. Dean Jones, Of the aca-
dcmic department said to-day that with
the exception of possibly twenty-five mem
beers the freshman class would be entire
ly accommodated on the campus this year.
The freshmen will live in Pierson Hall,
