| 1 alumni of no other university return l more frequently or in larger numbers than do Yale men, the Alumni Week I ly thinks. During the winter the class 1 dinner is an expected function which 1 refreSheS class associations, while. the 1 alumni dinner is the occasion for 8 1 general foregathering, in June,- the merest excuse will serve to bring @ l man back to & formal or informal re- l union, and at other times various af- 1 6Iiations draw the alumni back to ia 1 miliar scenes. And so the Tale Alumni | University Day, plans for which on I Feb. 236 were announced last week, i will fit in naturally with Yale gradu- ate community life" and also conSti- tute gathering that has a significance unique among the other reunions and returnings. For in attending lectures, classes and undergraduate exercises, in inspecting the university equipment, and in conferences with faculty the alumni are to get Yale with all the festive glannor removed, and to see 1t in its daily life, as 8 teaching organ ization, a seat of learning. To be sure, if some of the alumni get back day early they may see a Washlngton's s birthday rush between sophomores and freshmen-but in general it's to be period of informal study of educational conditions and problems at Yale. under the auspices of the Associated New England clubs, a. member of which group is the Alumni Association of New London county, Charles H. Has kell go, of Norwich, secretary.
 There is to be a seating arrangement for the body of graduates in Batten chapel, if the alumni can summon the courage to go back to the old days to the extent of rushing for college chap el at S10 Then for a couple hours the visitors will visit class room and laboratory, and at Il o'clock will come the opening meeting, President Hadley presiding, with addresses by Secretary Stokes on the significance of the day and by Treasurer Day on the Univer- sity Press. This will be followed by a visit to the new university laboratory quadrangle, on Pierson Sage square, luncheon in Memorial hall, followed by visits to the library, the art gallery or to other points of interest At o'clock in Lampson there will be talks on stu dent problems by undergraduates and then a general conference led by bean Jones and Director Chittendent, fol- lowed by another led by President Hadley on the graduate and profession al schools. Informal dinners and meet ings with students will come early in the evening, and finally a smoker, with members of the faculty, will bring uni versity day to a close.
 Every effort on the New Haven end is being made to insure a day that will please and enighten the men who have come back, and to this purpose the members of the faculty will pro- vide hospitab1y for Sunday or Monday nights, Feb. 22 or 23. On the other hand. it is earnestly desired that all graduates give a little thought to the meaning and importance of university day, and lend their support, preferably by attendance, for it's success.
 pr. William H. Salmon has asked to ha f,nri duties a head of the university bureau of appointments because of overwork. The president has approved the request, and has asked the seeretary's office to take charge of the detailed arrangements which may be necessary in readjusting the work of the bureau.
 Jim Donnelly. campus policeman, who has been ill at his home since be- fore Christmas, will be able to report for duty on Friday morning of this week, his physician said Wednesday, and. it is hoped will again take up his duties on the campus. One of Jim's s last appearances before the holidays was in the charity play, Columbia, given by 500 New Haven people for the benefit of the New Haven hospitals so- cial service department. A day or two later Jim gave up and went home be- cause of enlargement of the heart.
 There is an unusual lack of interest in the Junior Prom. this year, and the attendant festivities. judging from the difficulty with. which the dance tick cts are being sold, and particularly the Prom boxes. At the first sale only about half of the 35 boxes were taken, and so the committee was obliged to offer the remainder at an open sale After the last sale, Wednesday night, there were still nine boxes left unsold, and the Prom. committee Is at a loss to know what to do. One of the req sons why the Prom is going to be smaller this year is that the three days vacation will give many men the op- portunity to leave town.
 There will not be a tango danced at the Prom" said Dean F. $. Jones of the academic department today. There isn't one on the card. for have looked it over. The boys won't dance it, anyway. I'm sure. There will be too many men of good breeding there. In fact. the whole tone of the Prom. is against it,' he added.
 The Prom, which is the social tri- unph of the juniors during their col lege course, will be held Feb. 2.
