...ground for the new gymnasium at Yale has been purchased and work will be soon begun on the building. The ground bought has a frontage on Elm street of 138 feet by 2.36 feet deep, and cost about $30.000. The sum of the subscriptions up to date is $130,000. which leaves $100,000 for the building. More than this will, however, be probably spent, as the building, as designed, will cost about $150,000, but it is thought the deficiency can be made up by next fall. The building will be three stories in height, with a high studded...

The need of having more room for our outdoor athletics is a question that demands immediate attention...

Darling. In "Public Opinion as a Force," Mr. T. Wheelwright has answered convincingly some of the arguments advanced by Mr. Darling in "Partisanship or Independence in Politics-a Choice" although on other points he has not met his opponent squarely. Taking the ground that "strictly speaking we are all foreigners in America," he shows that we have a "huge, ignorant vote" of Europeans and Africans which must be trained...
...desires to enter journalism. May we ask if you will be good enough to allow the following to be posted on your college bulletin; published in your college paper; or handed to some one whom you think a proper person? Early in September there is to be begun in New York, Philadelphia, Boston and London, the publication of a journal for young people, of a grade of St. Nicholas and the Youth's Companion, but unlike either in character of contents. It has a new field and its aim will be: The best juvenile journal in the world...
