 During the past year the School of Reliqion has made a vigorous cam paign to secure funds with which to endow its different chairs. These ef- forts have not been in vain, and they have succeeded in raising over $575,- 0oo: By this means the Chairs of So- ciology have beeNH endowed. There are still many tn .gs along this line for which money is needed, and 1t is hoped that a million and a half dol- lars can be raised. An attempt is being made to start work similar to in India, and in the Mohammedan world. With the widening of the work of the missionary department there arises an extra expense and 1t is intended that these funds will cover the ncbJ assessments.
 The decision of Judge Gilson in the probate court of New Haven that hereafter all legacies to Yale uni- versity shall be exempt from the five per cent inheritance tax, claimed by Attorney General Light in behalf of the state, may lead to disagreements between lawyers and possibly to an appeal to a higher court; and it would be a matter of considerable c0nsequence to the state and to all of the educational and charitable in- stitutions that are accustomed to re- ceiye legacies. The Gilson decision appears to have stirred up a certain amount of opposition in the state, However, it is said that in as much as the yearly expenditures of the uni- versity exceeds it's income from the student body, thus making it neces- sary to rely on the donations for its continuance, it Is placed beyond ques- finn-iT the class nf RhaFifahla inSfi tutions. Therefore, since charitable institutions are equally beyond ques- tionS exempt from the inheritance tax there can be mo- question of law.
 The committee on business informa- tion of the New York Yale club re- ports encouraging results of the en- deasNor that has recently been made to extend the scope of it's work. 4 feature of the effort in that direction has been the organization of commit. tees in Pittsburgh, Louisville anC Los Angeles to act in cooperation witf the New York committee. The mum. Der of men who have been assisted il securing employment has greatly in. creased. However, the activity of thu committee has also tended to swel beyond all expectations the number O
 applicants for positions. It is hoped
 that the requests for men will l1eeI pace W1tn the appilCdLlOnS TOT employ ment, as the most satisfactory result can be attained If these two factor are more nearly equal. In view O the fact that the qualifications of tn
 applicants are now carefully classi l fled and the committee is according ly in a position to consider judicious ly the requirements of the employer il it's recommendations, it is not av CT. difficult matter to convince Yale em ployers that in making use of the bu
 reau services they will not only b helping an entirely worthy movemen 1 but will probably be able to fill open | ings in their staff more advantageous | ly than through other channels.

 Since the erection of the new bow l many varied ideas and plans hay l been advanced to extend its useful ness. Perhaps the most probable c l these was offered by the Yale Uni
 versity Athletic association, last wee | when the plan was suggested to hol two large games in New Haven in
 stead of one as in the past. The pro | posal to play Dartmouth in the Bow | has seemed advisable to the associa 1 tfon and has met with favor where ever suggested. It has been reporte l that Dartmouth has been included i the 1915 football schedule. Thoug l Yale has frequently played Dartmout l in baseball, Dartmouth has never mE l Yale in gridirop contest and foot
 ball enthusiasts are anxious to SC | these teams contend for the footba I superiority in the Bowl Harvard ha I cut Dartmouth from her list of foot
 ball engagements and it is thougf
 that 8 Yale-Dartmouth game woul not only be greatly beneficial to tt q development Of the team but woul l attract an attendance equal to th
 size of that at the Yale -Princeto
 contests.
