New Haven, May 6.-Announcement l was made Tuesday morning that the permanent officers of Yale college, with the approval of the prudential com mittee of the Yale corporation, have voted to make certain changes in chapel Service exercises beginning with the next college year. Some of these changes were made imperative by the inadequate accommodations of Battell chapel, which seats about HOO per- sons while over 1,500 academic stu dents, the largest in the history of the college, are expected next year. The daily prayer service for the academic students will be continued as at pres meet separately in Larnpson Lyceum. On Sunday, in place of the single preaching service now held at 10.S0, there will be two services in BattelI chapel, a brief college prayer service at 10 o'clock, and @ university preach ing service at Il. Attendance at the former will be required of all academic students, but for the exception of those men living with their families those students who are required to at tend church regularly elsewhere; and these men of satisfactory record who may express their intention of at tending the second service and have seats assigned to them. Under the new plan it is expected that there will be sufficient accommodations at the university preaching service for the students in all schools of the univer- sity who may wish to attend.
 
 lnasmuch as the mass meeting held last week to take action on the pro- posed changes in the athletic associa- tion constitution resulted in the de- feat of the new regulations with the stipulations as to the choice of as- sistant manager between the college and Shelf, a second meeting was held Friday to take action as regards the new constitution with the omission of the clause which pertained to the change in the managerial system of well attended, and the proposed changes were accepted with very little opposition. The most significant of the changes was that there should be seven graduate members of the as- sociation instead of five. The old constitution contained no require ments for the eligibility of a member of the university crew squad to vote for captain. Though for some time it has been an unwritten law that only men who have rowed in the uni versity boat against Harvard were en- titled to a, vote for the captaincy it has been carefully inserted in the con- stitution which was adopted last Fri day evening.
 Among other business at the athletic association meeting held on last Mon day evening, the association voted that the university "Y'' be awarded to se- niors rowing on the second university crew, and to men who have roWed for two years on the second cdew. This ac- tion of the association is to be retroac- tive on last years second eight. Un- doubtedly this action was largely the result of the substitution of the sec ond eight pared race for the, four cared, and thus lessening the number of men who could win their "Y'' in crew.
 In order to raise sufficient funds to satisfactorily complete the missionary work of the organization, the Shef- field Christian association started on a twentyfour hour campaign on Mon day evening to solicit $500. Collectors were assigned to the various society houses and dormitories. A thorough canvass was made of all of the Shelf students with the result that on Tues day evening when the collectors re- ported it was found that nearly $700 lad been pledged for the work of the association. The campaign was Byers hall, the headquarters of the association, at which meeting a nu1o- Der Of the instructors in the Sheffie Scientific school addressed the stu dents gathered there. The work of the association together, with loyal support of the undergraduates was highly commended by the members of the faculty. The meeting was sue cessfully brought to a close by a so- cial hour followed by the annual cleo tion of the officers for the coming year.
