 Plans have already been formulated for the proposed western trip of col exposition next summer. The plan is to make up team from the men of the leading eastern colleges to be known as the Eastern Intercollegiate against the teams of various promin- ent country clubs in the West. The team will go west June 26, and go to the exposition where they will spend @ week or two, in which time many golf tournaments have been scheduled. The team will tour through California by automobile stopping for matches at the different clubs on the way. Returning there has already been scheduled several meets in Chicago. The Eastern Intercollegiate team will play as one, and not as representa- tives of the various institutions. The possibility of the trip will undoubted- ly depend upon the enthusiasm dis played. Although Yale last year lost the intercollegiate golf championship for the first time in ten years, the prospects, for the coming season are very bright. The six men who com- peted in the intercollegiate champion ship last year have all returned, and compose this years team.
 Karl N. LIeweIIyn, 1915, who fought in the German army last fall in the battle of Ypres, returned to this country last month. Llewellyn was wounded in his first encounter, and received the Kaiser's Iron cross for especial bravery. He intends to continue his college course with the present senior class. Concerning his strange enlistment in the German army, Llewellyn said: AS soon as the war broke out I felt that Ger many, to which I owed a great deal of my education, and whose people and culture I admired, ought to have my help. particularly in as much as the odds against her were so great. So went to Germany as fast as could get there, to volunteer in the | army. I was received as a volunteer in the Prussian Infantry at Osna- bruck. T took up the work there with the other volunteers with a great deal of pleasure. While there, Ambassor Gerard, on the instance of my father procured my discharge after six

 Statistics have been taken which show the comparative registrations of the various departments of the un- iversity for the last quarter century The figures were compiled from the registration summaries which are kept in the university library. Ac- cording to the statistics, the regis School has been falling off slightly since 1912, when it was the largest in it's history, while the number of academic students is greater this year than ever before. The total reg istration of the university has never since been as large as it was in 1908-1909, when there were 3,434 stu dents enrolled. This years registra- : tion, according to the new catalogue which was issued recently, is $500 However, the registration this year is the largest since the record registra- 1,426 academic students, and 1,048 students in the Sheffield Scientific School.
 The university dramatic association has decided to produce Tennyson's Harold" as the spring play. This will be produced June 19, and will constitute one of the events of Com mencement Week. The selection ot this play is significant of the distinct purpose of the association, namely to produce ! plays of great literary merit, and which are seldom seen on | the professional stage. This is the | only one of all of Tennyson's dramas that has never been acted. The per formance on the Yale campus will be the first performance in the world o1 this historical play. The drama was published in 1876. It deals with one of the most interesting and highly dramatic periods in the history of the | world. Concerning the producing ot 1 the play Professor William L. Phelps congratulated the officers of the as- | sociation on their choice, and in his | estimation, believes that in the se- lection of this drama the association | Is rendering a real service to the uni versity. to all Tennyson readers, and l tn modern 6ro HfaT-a t11raA
