A detailed summary is given else- where in this issue of the various means for self-support which Yale offers to students of limited means. These facts show an encouraging and healthy state of affairs in the University, and one which leads to several interesting con- clusions. They prove first and fore- most that no man with push and deter- mination need ever forego a college education solely on account of financial reasons. The field for work here is a wide one, wide enough to offer some- thing to men of every capacity. It is also constantly broadening despite the fact that a larger number of them are called upon each year to meet their own expenses. A careful consideration reveals also that in most cases students can con- tinue along the same lines of support which they employed before entering College. Ifa man has had experience in teaching, he will naturally look to tutoring or to the evening schools; if he has done work of a business or clerical nature, to the more distinctively student enterprises. Indeed, there are very few kinds of remunerative work which can- not be adapted in one way or another to College life. But although the University may con- gratulate itself on its present oppor- tunities, there are yet many things which remain to be done’ for those whose means are limited. The lack to-day is not so much in the line of scholarships or loan funds which are bestowed gratuitously. Inthe great ma- jority of cases it is far better for the man himself, that he make some return for. what he receives, even if it be but slight. Any contrivances, therefore, which tend to reduce the necessary ex- penses and minimize those which are unnecessary, call for careful considera- tion. The Co-op. the Loan Library and Commons are all important factors toward this end. As regards board, however, there is a constant demand among the poorer men for a cheaper place than Commons, a place where one pays merely for what he orders, and gets his dishes at cost. It might well be run in connection with the pre- sent Dining Hall. By this means a man could live very economically, if he was willing to confine himself to plain food, as many would gladly do. The Co-op. fills a valuable position in furnishing student supplies at reduced '’. Ate AO eee prices, but as yet no provision has been made to meet one of the heaviest ex- penses which those in an entering class are called upon to meet— that for room furniture. Every year at Commence- ment time, beds, desks, and numerous articles of the same sort are sold at a sacrifice to reappear again in the Fall at greatly advanced prices. A Loan Furniture Association which buys up second-hand articles, and loans them at a slight charge for rent, has proved successful at some Colleges. If a fund could be raised large enough to start such an organization, the money turned in for rent, together with contributions of furniture which many students would make at graduation, wotld be amply sufficient to insure the continuance of the plan. A word also regarding the Andrews Loan Library. Its size might be greatly increased, and its usefulness ex- tended, if the University Librarian was in a position to purchase, at the end of the term the standard text-books that have been used in the courses, profit on which now goes to a thriving colony of second-hand book dealers. Many students would be willing to give out- right, others to sell for a small price, if there was a systematic visitation of the dormitory rooms each year. Cannot plans be perfected to assist worthy stu- dents through some such channels as these? + THE FOOTBALL CAPTAIN. The University is to be congratulated on having a man to take charge of its football interests next Fall, whose thorough knowledge of the game, brilliant individual work and _ strong personality eminently qualify him for. the duties of a captain. Mr. Chamber- lin has played the same steady and con- sistent game ever since he has been a member of Yale’s football squad, and has already gained the complete con- fidence of students and alumni. He will enter upon next season’s work with | the hearty support of every member of the University. —_—_——__$—_____ OFFICIAL ENROLLMENT FIGURES. ‘Total Greater Than Last Year— Names of New Teachers.

Instructor in, THE BELGIUM ‘SOFT.’’ The Hat-Makers of Belgium have at- tained eminence among their fellow crafts- men in other countries through the manu- facture of a peculiarly flexible soft felt hat. Sensible of the serviceable qualities and intrinsic worth of these hats, and of the immense sale found for them in England and on the continent, American manufactu- rers have still found it impossible to duplicate them successfully without exceeding the cost - of importation of the finished foreign product. While thoroughly appreciating that the “tariff” argument has been so generally used of late as to have exhausted the reasonable force of its logic, Messrs. Brooks & Company nevertheless beg to state that in the event of further importations of soft felt hats similar to the above, they will be obliged to ask for them a sum in excess of the price at which they are now being sold,—owing to the in- creased duty enforced by a higher tariff.
