 This years elections by the senior societies. following inc efforts to infiu- ence these choices by the so-called
 sophomore movement, of the class Of 1915, were awaited with more than usual interest. The elections to Skull and Bones were all that could be de- sired Men representing all the impor- tant fields of activity in the college scholarship as well as athletics, Chris tian association work as well as liter ary ability, were recognized and re- warded. Scroll and Key took fifteen men also that met the requirements of the critics. On the other hand, the selections by Wolfss Head were gener- ally good. but marred, in the opinion of many undergraduates, by some men who were not as deserving as others who were overlooked; and in this last group there was a large number Of men. Some of them were rewarded with Elihu club this week, but some ofs the most prominent, including the leader of the movement against the senior societies, were sacrificed. The Elihu club will make a few more elec- tions next fall, however, and these men
 may then be included. To some, now, the success of the reform wave is rather doubtful. for where most needed it did not seem to have effect.

 For the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the Vale Medical school next month at commencement time, many arrangements are being made, and among the things most encourag- ing to the school just now is that the sum of $600. 900 that was needed for closer af1liation with the New Haven hospital Is practically assured. The centennial committee, of which Dr. William H. Carmalt is chairman, has engaged the Hopkins grammar school building for the headquarters of the medical school alumni, and the house opposite the school has been engaged for the alumni and their families. The principal exercises are to be in Wool sey hall on Monday afternoon, June IS, and President Hadley will speak, Dr. Walter Steiner, '92, of Hartford, will make an address on the historical development of medicine, and Dr. Will liam H. Howell of Johns Hopkins uni versity will speak on Some Phases of Medical Educat ton. In the evening there will be dinner at Commons, and on Tuesday luncheon before the liar ward ball game. to which they will march like the other returning classes.
 The Vale bowl committee of twenty one had meeting in New York city last week to take up the problems of financing the bowl and of putting a track in the structure. The treasurer's report showed that during the past
 
 to the bowl fund had been very small, so much so that unless money is forth coming the committee win hardly be able to finish the bowl, leaving out of the question the development of all Yale's athletic facilities, as as first planned. The committee, however, finds that the shortage of funds is not a peculiarly Yale state of affairs. With the exception of the Princeton stadium, where one man has given all the mon- ey, undertakings of the kind elsewhere are suffering just as Yale is, and the committee is still hoping that gener- ous and wealthy Yale graduates will be found even now ready to help out in the great athletic project. That there is no opposition to the movement and that the lack of money Is due to general financial stringency is shown by the fact that the Yale corporation itself has contributed a large amount to the bowl building fund.
