tions are the enrolment will be the
largest In the history of the institution
This year. which marks the beginning
or the university's reconstruction pc
riod. will inaugurate more drastic
changes in the plan and policy here
than have been undertaken since Yale
College developed into Yale University.
The lengthening of the three years
course in the Sheffield Scientific School
TO four years, the establishment of a
common freshman year for both under
graduate departments, the elimination
of Latin as a requirement for admission
to Yale College. the doing away with
the select course in Shelf and the estab-
lishment, of a regular course in mill
tary instruction and training as a per-
manent feature of undergraduate life
are few of the courses that stand out
conspicuously.
Although 1t will be a week or more
before statistics are available, it is ex-
pected that Yale College will have the
largest entering class in its history and
the enrolment will reach 1900. In
Shelf the enrolment will probably be
about 1000, the decrease here being
attributable to the elimination of the
select course. The freshman class at
Shelf will probably total $50.
The degree of Bachelor of Philosophy
will no longer be conferred for work in
the Sheffield Scientific School after the
graduation OF the Sheffield classes Of
1913. 1920 and 1921 and for the classes
entering this year and thereafter the
only course offered in Shelf will be
four years in length leading to the de-

proclamation follows:
There appears to be misapprehen-

"This act of theirs was voluntary,
against the advice OF their well wishers
long discussed and premeditated, and
with the purpose of obstructing the
power of the Government to protect its
citizens or even to maintain its own ex-
istence. Its success meant anarchy. BY
this act, through the operation of the
law they dispossessed themselves. They
went out of office. They stand as though
they had never been appointed.
"Other police remained on duty. They
are the real heroes of the crisis. The
State Guard responded most efficiently.
Thousands have volunteered for the
guard and the militia. Money has been
contributed from every walk of life
by the hundreds of thousands for the en-
couragement and relief of these loyal
men. These acts have been spontaneous,
significant and decisive. / propose to
support all those who are supporting
their own Government with every power
which the people have intrusted to me-

Edward L. German, who says he is n

once fought both John l.. Sullivan and

and Fortyfourth street, yesterday after
noon. A top hat surn1ounted his snow
white hair. Patent leather pumps.
carnation, a diamond scarf pin and a
walking stick were all featured In his
ensemble. Calling a touring car. he or
dered Thomas Malone, the chauffeur to
drive to the Polo Grounds.
Arriving there German bought two
tickets. and he and Malone saw the Sec
ond game between the Red Sox and the
Yankees. Afterward they drove back
down town and visited several hotels in
the theatrical district. At p. NJ. the
bill for automobile hire had mounted to
$24, and Malone limited, with delicacy,
that he would like to settle the thing
and call 1t day. German made no re-
sponse. They were moving slowly along
at Broadway and Forty-seventh street
when German called suddenly to PATROL
man Windberry, who was on duty there,
and complained that he feared Malone
was a desperate character bent upon
robbery and that he believed the man
carried a gun.
Germans appearance was so impress
sive that Patrolman Windberry frisked
the indignant chauffeur then and there,
but no weapon was found. Then he de-
cided that all hands had better go to
the station house. AS German entered he
told the lieutenant at the desk he had
just been elected president of the
world" and that he had no money with
him. An ambulance was called from
Bellevue Hospital and he was sent there
for observation.
