Freedman Year a Success.
In reviewing the educational progress
during the year President Angel sald !:
II am glad to speak with even more
assurance than did President Hadley a
wear ago in reference to the success OF
the common freshman year. The aver
age scholarship OF the entering class was
upprecia bly higher than that or any
class In recent years. The unexpected
increase In the number of these enter
ing students created some embarfass-
ment In the matter of securing COM
,petent instruction. Should the entering
class next autumn be equally large oui
embarrassment would be considerable
for many of our departments are al
ready carrying loads which are as
heavy as they can carry. Moreover we
RAPIDLY diminish the efficiency OF our
teaching IL we increase unduly the size
and numbers of our sections.
i President James r. Angel. in his ad-
dress to theYale alumni to-day declared
there is no deficit in Yale athleuc
fnances, but he made no direct refer
