HARVARD UNIVERSITY.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Aug 3-Renew-
ing the agreement IL. made last year.
Harvard will this fall admit on trial
and without examination high school
seniors whose record In school has been
good. and who have spent the summer
either on the farm, working under the
auspices OF a responsible organization,
or in national service,
Last year this plan was tried with
considerable success, nearly thirty being
admitted under the arrangement. Most
Of the boys who were excused were
members Of the Boys Working Reserve,
q national organization with a Boston
committee. This year some boys have
entered the tractor service maintained
by the state Board of Agriculture. The
actual vote OF the Harvard faculty is as
follows
THAT candidates accepted as final
candidates for admission who enter upon
any form of national service which pre-
vented them from taking examination
in June may present their full school
records TO the committee of admission,
and that the committee be empowered
to issue certificates OF admission on trial
In those cases which seem to justify II,
such ertticates TO be valid only in case
the candidates present evidence of haN-
ing we'll and faithfully completed their
term of service, and only in case they
enter college without delay after COM
rletlng their service"

YALE UNIVERSITY.

Although officials OF Yale University,
New Haven. Conn, do not expect to be
able to make any detailed announcement
now OF the plans for the millions given
the university through the will of the
late John w. Sterling OF New York city,
their disposition is discussed in univer-
slty circles The value of the estate Us
estimated between $4,000, 900 and 500
600 600 and 1t was left TO the university
TO be used at It's discrs ton, main pro-
vision being that at least one elaborate
memorial be placed on the university
property.
This, II Is common belief, Is likely to
be large university library. The need
for a general library plant is keen. al
though the university has made three
distinct efforts TO solve the question. An
old library was built about a century
ago. modelled after a Gothic English
building of abbey like lines, utterly i'm
practicable for spacious library use Yale
built another library a quarter century
ago. ideally adapted to practical library
uses. but having no architectural rela-
tionship with the old library. although
It was situated within furlong OF II or
the campus.
Some fifteen years ago the university
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-08-04

come for the ensuing years. due to
probable decrease in student attendance.
II Is necessary TO retrench in all possible
ways and TO discontinue certain lines Of
work in order to strengthen remaining
lines against the anticipated strain. The
work of the academy, so largely dupli-
Gated IN high schools within easy reach
of most homes, has appeared less essen
tal to the welfare OF tine university than
that cf others Of its schools, and COnse-
quently il has been determined to dis
continue the academy with the close Of
the present ac adeuic year
In making this academic announce
ment | wish 10 pay tribute to the prir-
cipal Of the academy. Mr.. l.. W. Marcel
lus FOR his skill and effectiveness in
administration and to the corps OF
teachers who have rendered signal SER
Vice to the school. 1t is no reflection on
them or their work that the university
ras felt compelled to take the action
here announced. Every effort will he

inharmonious architecture, each to the
other. The result Is the Hewitt building

The result has been unsatisfactory
