BUILDING PLANS APPROVED.
The Gift of an Administration Build-
ing—E. D. Robbins Made Professor.
A special meeting of the Yale Cor-
poration was held at New Haven, De-
cember 26, at 11 A. M. Nearly all the
members of the Corporation were pres-
ent, among them Gov. Lounsbury of
Connecticut, Yale ’63, who is member
ex-officio.
The special business of the meeting
was the consideration of building plans,
but, before this matter was taken up,
the Hon. Edward D. Robbins of Hart-
ford, Yale ’74, and Yale Law School
79, was elected Professor of Jurispru-
dence to succeed Professor Morris
Frank Tyler, who has recently become
Treasurer, and therefore given up his
chair in the Law School.
Messrs. Carrere & Hastings showed
the plans for the new buildings. They
were in general approved. A vote was
passed instructing the Building Commit-
tee to proceed to build, in accordance
with the plans submitted, the Audi-
torium, the Memorial Vestibule, and the
Dining Hall, as soon as money is pro-
vided. The Building Committee is made
up as follows: Mr. W. W. Farnam,
Yale 66, former Treasurer of the Uni-
versity, Chairman; Mr. H. F. Dimock,
Yale 63: Mr. George C. Holt, Yale ’66,
and the President and Treasurer of the
University. ex-offictis. Although the
general scheme of the building is now
settled upon, there are many changes to
make before the plans are in definite
form, so that estimates can be made and
the work proceed. The plans, when
definitely decided upon, will be given in
much detail in half tone illustrations in
the ALUMNI WEEKLY. There has been
practically no change or advance since
the last statement in the WEEKLY.
The Corporation voted to accept the
vift of Miss Olivia Phelps Stokes and
Miss Caroline Phelps Stokes, of a sum
of monev sufficient to build an Adminis-
tration Building. This building will be
upon the new Campus and will be a
memorial to three ancestors of the
donors, Governor Haynes and Governor
Wyllis, Colonial Governors of Connecti-
cut, and Timothy Woodbridge, one of
the seven founders. The building will
contain a special room for the meetings
of the Corporation and rooms for the
President, Secretary and Treasurer.
There will also be committee rooms and
provisions for preserving archives. The
architects will be Messrs. Howells &
Stokes of New York. Mr. Stokes of
this firm is the brother of Mr. Anson
Phelps Stokes, Jr., Secretary of the
Yale Corporation, while the donors of
this building are aunts of Mr. Stokes.
The building will take the place of the
late Treasury Building, which will be
torn down as soon as this is completed.

The Presidents Western Trip.
After leaving the ‘meeting of the
Economic Association at Ithaca, which
he attended as President of the Asso-
ciation, President Hadley of Yale re-
turned to New Haven for a few hours
and then started on a trip through the
West, where he is meeting the alumni of
the different cities at their annual ban-
quets, and talking to them of his plans
for the University and particularly of
the Bi-centennial building preparations.
On Saturday, December 30, President
Hadley attended the banquet of the
Cleveland alumni. From there he went
to Chicago, where he was the guest of
William Kent, ’87. He spoke at the din-
ner of the Chicago alumni on the 3d,
and addressed the convocation of Chi-
cago University on the 2d. He is
to go from Chicago to Minneapolis,
where he will be the guest of the Alumni
Association of the Northwest, at their
annual dinner on January 5. Mr. Am-
brose Tighe, Yale ’79, is to entertain
President Hadley at Minneapolis. From
Minneapolis he will go to Denver, where
he will attend the banquet of the Colo-
rado Association, January 9. He will
be the guest of Alfred T. Bacon, 773.
He may also speak to the Candle Light
Club, during his stay at Denver. While
in Colorado he will visit Colorado
Springs and will informally meet the
Yale men there. He will be the guest
of President Slocum of Colorado Col-
lege. Prof. Irving Fisher of the Yale
Faculty is at Colorado Springs. The
Kansas City alumni will banquet on
January 12, and President Hadley has
planned to be their guest at that time.
While in Kansas City he will be enter-
tained by Mr. Gardiner Lathrop, ‘609.
At present writing, it is expected that
the banquet of the St. Louis alumni will
be January 15. The President will again
be the guest of honor at this banquet.
While in St. Louis, he will be enter-
tained by Frederick N. Judson, ’66.
From St. Louis he will go to Louisville,
Ky., to attend a banquet on the 16th and
from there to Cincinnati, where the din-
ner will be on the 17th. In the latter
city, he will be the guest of Mr. George
W. Johnston, ’83. :

Harvard Union Plans.
Yale’s interest in the project of a large
University Club, which shall form the
center of the life of all the University,
will cause a careful study of the plans
proposed at Harvard for the so called
Harvard Union, the all-embracing Uni-
versity Club of Cambridge, which has
been made possible by Major Higgin-
son’s gift of $150,000. The plans sug-
gested, which are subject to change, are
thus described in the Harvard Crim-
son:
“The building is to be, roughly speak-
ing, 178 feet long, by 104 feet wide; cov-
ering thus over 18,000 square feet. It is
probably to front on Harvard Street;
having a convenient side-entrance on
Quincy Street.
“The general design provides an en-
trance hall of large dimensions, with an
assembly room capable of seating 1,000
people, directly opposite the entrance
door. On each side of the entrance hall
can be located offices and a coat-room.
The assembly room constitutes the main
feature of the central structure.
“One wing of the building contains a
billiard room, with sixteen billiard
tables, on the first floor. The library,
located on the second floor of the same
wing, is divided by three partitions into
a periodical room, a library for recent
publications, and a library and writing
room, presumably for the use of students
taking notes. It has been suggested that
the basement of this wing be divided up
into offices for the Athletic Association,
the Crimson, and other student bodies
which require permanent offices. There
has been some discussion as to the advis-
ability of the Crimson occupying any part
of the new building. This subject, no
doubt, will be fully discussed when the
time comes to publish the plans. The
Crimson can probably not afford to re-
main outside of this building, while the
club would profit greatly by its presence.
The basement of the other wing of the
building contains the boilers and coal
and kitchen arrangements.
“The first floor will be divided into a
large grill room for men who wish to
take a light lunch in the building, and
two small dining rooms either for stu-
dents and friends who are visiting Cam-
bridge or for the training tables; the
latter have been suggested. A grill
room would thus be at one end of a long
hall with the billiard room at the other
end. The third floor of the wing can be
divided into three or four rooms to be
used as the House Committee shall de-
termine in the future. One room could
be used as a private study; another
could have tables for games, such as
checkers, chess, etc. A third room could
be used as a small lounging room for
private conferences and discussions. It
was thought at first that the building
should contain some bedrooms, but the
advisability of this is questionable, as it
ought to have either no bed-rooms or
many. The second floor in the center of
the building contains a small assembly
room capable of seating 70 men.”
