L. C. Page & Co. of Boston. The title of the book has recently been changed so as to be more accurately descrip- tive of the contents of the volume. The plan of the book developed very con- siderably while it was in process of construction. The book will be en- titled “Yale: Her Campus, Classrooms From one end of the land to the other, wherever men who demand the best are found, Fownes’ Gloves are the recognized standard of merit and fashion. They are. best for dress, for the street, for riding, driving, or golfing — for all occasions and all purposes. To wear them is to be cor- rectly gloved. All leading haberdashers sell them. ~ and Athletics.” The sub-title describes the divisions of the book in the order in which they are prepared. Yale as a place of work is considered from the standpoint of a place one must live in order to work in, next as purely a place of intellectual work and lastly as a place for athletic recreation. The last division of the book,—that of athletics, is, of course, written by Mr. Camp. This consists of a general chap- ter on Yale’s principle of athletic man- agement, followed by a history of all the events of each of the main branches of athletics.in which Yale has been en- gaged. These historical sketches are supplemented by tables giving scores of games, times of races and other de- wet from the first down to the present ay. In describing the social side of Yale a brief sketch is given of the general experiences of one who goes through, as an example, the Academic course. After that, the different institutions of Yale are taken up by a series of sketches. These include the chapter on the Prom, on the society system, on graduate organization, on Battell Chapel, on Dwight Hall, etc., etc. In describing Yale as a place to work, the different departments are sketched from the standpoint of their systems of instruction. The plan is to give in simple and plain language the idea of education in each. After that, the different divisions of -instruction like Philosophy, Political and Social Science, and History are sketched with a view of indicating their particular features, with a brief state- ment in each case about the principal instructors and their records and methods. The idea is a non-technical survey of the general field of Yale teaching. In the first and second parts, the historical element is incidental and used only to explain or illustrate or emphasize the present. The raw bones of the history on both Yale’s social and intellectual side are given in a series of condensed chronological tables at the end of each section.
