NEW HAVEN, Conn, February "a.
Announcement that no son of a
Yale graduate would be refused ad-
mission to Yale under the freshman
class Limitation if he passes the eX-
aminations was made by President
James r. Angel in his address to
visiting Yale alumni here yesterday
The decision was made, he said, at a
meeting of the committee on admis-
sion Sunday night.
President Angel said that three
student problems were facing the
university-the housing of students,
conducting class work so as not to
retard the work of the ADLER men and
embarrass the slower ones, and the
need of curriculum to guarantee
greater accomplishments in one field
of work.
These problems are being met, he
continued, by limiting the number of
students, erecting additional build
ings, the inauguration of an honor
system and by additions to the
faculty.
