The walls of Yale are so spattered
with unexpected adornments in 'the
line of bas-reliefs. gargoyles, and
;,scriptions that the thousands who
now come here every year to look
the university over are beginning
TO look upon Yale architecture as
thing unique. Inside and out. the
new Yale buildings have received
treatment from the architects that
has made the buildings unusual.
The new keystone Bingham Build
ing at Chapel and College Streets,
has been decorated with plaques.
Here where Osborn Hall stood for
generations one plaque facing the
nublic eve shows exactly how Os-
born Hall looked all through its
palmy days.
shows a view Of the old fence on
which students sat in days when
the stovepipe hat and the derby
were signs of being really up-to-
date in dress. The fence went years
ago and most of its wood now is
used as frames for engravings OF
the old campus. IL one OF the pic
lures gets into the market, bidders
are numerous.
The new art museum, gift OF two
graduates whose names are to be
kept secret, shows a line of gar
goyles representing Handsome Dan.
the original Yale bulldog. The new
w. l.. Hardness recitation building
has rows of decorations, from the
famous lost ship of New Ravens

AID CROWS FOR
NICARAGUA
POLICY

An endorsement of the Coolidge
kellogg policy in Nicaragua was an
ticipated in the Senate today as a
climax to the battle over American
occupation of the republic.
The test vote was due on an
a amendment. offered to the 1858 900
600 naval appropriations BILL WHEN
would force the immediate Win
drawal of American Marines py
DENYING the use of any new funus
for their maintenance in Nicaragua.
A administration Senators predicted
defeat of the amendment.
BOrah Changes Sides
Senator William e. Borah (Rl OF
Idaho. chairman of the Senate FOR.
eien Relations Committee, who Ilrst
dema nded withdrawal of the Ma
rines but later urged they be kept
there until after the September
elections. was prepared to defend
tbe Administra tion's policy. Borah,
while declaring the United states
was not justified in Intervening
when it did. was expected 10 no'o
that the Marines would nave TO re-
main in Nicaragua until stanle
Government is established.
The Insurgent Republican group,
however. will continue to fight tne
Administration policy, even though
defeated in the present row.
Only Test Vote
Their principal weapon will be
the reuort of Secretary OF the Navy
Wilbur. which announced that q
American marines were killed ana
~ .,,nda5 in the Nicaraguan
battles The cost of the American
occunation to date has exceeded
81 $50 900. Wilbur reported.
The test vote" amendment. pro,
nosed bv Senator King CD OF
Utah would prohibit the use of
any funds out Of the new appro-
nriation lill for the maintenance
Of marines in Nicaragua. As the
bill carries funds for AL naval
activities in the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1929. adoption OF the
amendment would force the with
