They will be given names celebrated in Yale history. Five of them???Berkeley, Saybrook, Branford, Pierson, Davenport?have already been projected, three in existent buildings, two in lavish Gothic piles now abuilding.

Paris, London, Brussels have applauded their playing. Fortnight ago they made their U. S. debut in Manhattan. Last week seven other cities heard them???Boston, Princeton, N.
