f yet it has been impossible for them to remain, and they are expected to return to New Haven shortly. MT Sturges has been engaged in the drafting of several of the import ant agricultural agreements, in- cluding those involving the pack ing induskry. MT Arnold has acted as counsel for the department in cases involing the constitutionality of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, including those involving the milk producers of Chicago. at hearings in Washington and Chicago and the injuhcton suit recently instituted by the government in California against the violators of the peach canning agreement. Federal officials have wired Dean Clark that MT Arnold's presence is essential at the hearing to be held in the latter action on october 2, after which he is expected to return to New Haven.
 Professor Walton H. Hamilton served by appointment of Presi- dent Roosevelt as O member of the emergency board, appointed under the Railway Labor act to report its findings concerning & dispute be- tween the Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas Railway and certain of its employees represented by the Ma. tional Railroad unions. The com mission consisting of three persons held hearings during August at Greenville, Texas, and on August 26, 1888 rendered its report sustain. ing the claims of the employees. Several other members of the faculty have been acting as con. sultants from time to time on var ious features of the government program without formal appoint
 ment. They will, 1t is expected, be called upon in like capacity at .var- ious times during the coming year. The pressure upon the faculty for government service has been especially serious at the present time because of the increase in numbers of the students, and the serious illness during the summer of Professor William R. Vance, dis tinguished member of the law faculty, Dean Clark said. Professo: Vance has suffered from the effects of an operation but is now con- vaiescing and should return to the school shortly. There has been . substantial increase in the number of applications for the school, with about twenty per cent increase in those filing formal applications and like number more who at tempted to apply after the first year class had been filled. The Yale corporation voted last spring to increase the number of the first year class from 100 to i20 and this increase, coupled with those who have registered for the Yale Harvard joint Law -ISusiness course. will probably bring the entering class to about 13b, which is one third of the number of applicants. Due to accretions to the other classes the school this year will probably number approximately $50 st pd ents instead of the 304 register ed at the opening Q year ago.
 In commenting upon the appeals ffor government service, Dean Clark stated that he felt 1t the duty Of university men to assist the re- covery program 90 far as possible. One did not need to subscribe necessarily to belief in the wis. dom of all the details of this pro- gram to feel that its success was vItaily important to all and cooper ation an obligation, he added. Hence the requests of the govern ment for assistance from members of the stan must be acceded to so far as possible. Appointments to fiii the vacancies will be announce cd shortly.
