changes that 0o not compare eAaCtaJ fayora bIy with the older ways of Yale.
 In one of his recent Dwight Hall talks to the students, Dean Brown had a word to say about the influence or the Hotel Taft on the university. It is true that too much Yale money and too many Yale ideals passed over the bar of the Taft last year, and there is not the same democratic feeling or good fellowship in the gfill-room or the Taft now that there used to be in the informal meetings at the old Mory's And even MOry's shows the changes that time has wrought. It is still existent, but is dead as far as undergraduate life is concerned. It probably was too slow for the stren- uous student of today. Then campus singing and meetings on the fence have no place in the hurry and com petition of college activities. So that it should be encouraging to hear from a leader in college life such as Cap tain Ketcham that he detects this new spirit coming back into Yale.
 Speaking of the men who are earning their way through college the done less conSpicuously the number of men doing it is larger than ever, although the proportion to the whole is smaller. The man fits himself for a job for self-support just as for en- trance examinations. In other words, he uses his head, and does not go out after four years, as did the self-sup porting student of former years, with a fine ability to balance saucers or tend furnaces. and little knowledge of the finer things and wider views that college should give, in the way of self cultivation by reading and social in tercourse and appreciation of music and art, etc. The new type of self supporting student doesn't slave all the year, he makes his vacations his opportunity for earning money and in college time he is free for what col lege has to offer.
 Last Year the Bureau of Appoint ments had on it's list 644 men in. the university who were seIf-supporting and 249 of these furnished statistics of their earnings to the bureau for the revision of it's pamphlet Self Help at Yale. The total amount earned was 72,085.59 by these 249 men, of which $59, ,951.59 was in term time, $12,139 in vacation. Waiting on table is the most common means of earning or saving money and in that way last year 113 men made S16,258.50 The next largest number of men, 91, turn ed their attention to tutoring, earn ing S7,04200, while IT men teaching made S3,661-00. In clerical work 84 men earned $7104.75 and in canvassing S5, 5,489.45 was earned by 73 men. From the care of furnaces, lawns etc., 35 men derived $2,121.65; from checking Gin the University Dining haID 14 men saved $2.054. Newspaper work netted $1,745.50 to IT men; stenography $1,- 689.65 to 21 men; and by music, 20 men earned $L061.. At summer hotels 19 men earned $21S1.32 and in sum- mer camps eight men made $545. Twenty men on farms earned SEAS. and in religious work 15 men earned S4,422. Twelve men earned $1,440.50 working in the library.
 The class of 1915 last year, with 47 men working, earned the largest amount of money $12,99425, and the Sheffield Scientific juniors, II men, earned the least, $3,831
 Naturally, the fact that less than half of the statistic blanks were filled out give cnIy a proportion of the earnings of the entire body of self supporting students.
