ELECTIVE FIGURES FOR FOURTEEN YEARS.
The following table shows in _per-
centages the fluctuation in the choices
of electives since the beginning of the
elective system in 1886, and indicates
very fairly the relative amount of work

Political Science,
Philosophy,
Natural Science,
These figures show that during the
past fourteen years the study of Mathe-
matics and the Classics has steadily de-
clined, though the former, judging from
the increase of 1.6 per cent. for I90I1,
would seem to have reached rock bot-
tom and started on the recovery. It is
worthy of attention that, in Classics, as
the requirements were eased up, less and
less men took the various courses.
The fluctuations in English, which
have been wide, are, without much
doubt, due to changes in entrance fre-
quirements and in the curriculum, and
particularly to changes in the personnel
of the instructors. The filling up of
the vacant English chair is probably re-
sponsible for the increase for 1900-1901.
In direct contrast to English, the Eu-
ropean languages, since 1890, have been
very steady, which would seem to indi-
cate that there is a strong demand for
a certain marketable amount of instruc-
tion in these languages. In History the
tendency has been upward, though, on
the whole it has been rather steady dur-
in the entire fourteen years, The
great fluctuations in Political Science
are due to radical changes in the per-
sonnel of the instructors, but in gen-
eral, there has been a steady upward
progress The introduction of the new
Law course, which has immediately
proved that there was need for such a
course, has made some confusion in the
other Law courses. :
One of the most noticeable things
shown by the table is the drop from 9.3
to 6.4 per cent. in Philosophy, which
held comparatively steady as long as
the study was required. Of the 6.4 per
cent. shown for the year 1900-1901, only
I.4 per cent. is voluntary choice, the re-
maining 5 per cent. being required work
in Junior year.
Natural Science has, with but few
exceptions, held steady for the fourteen

home of his father, Rev. Dr. Franklin
W. Fisk, President of the Chicago

JONATHAN BOYNTON DILL, ’93.
Jonathan Boynton Dill, ’93, died at

afternoon.
Mr. Dill was born at Clearfield, Pa.,

C. H. Weller, ’95, has just received
word that he has been awarded an

held were Archaeology, Architecture,
Sculpture, Vases, Epigraphy, Pausanias

Working for the Public Good.
The Neighborhood Club, formed of
the residents of the Seventh Ward of
New Haven, where Yale Hall is sit-
uated, and conducted under its auspices,
held a mass meeting Friday night, May
_ 4, in the cause of establishing free baths
in New Haven, especially for that dis-
trict. The meeting was held at Yale
Hall. The President of the Neighbor-
hood Club, Cornelius P. Kitchel, Yale
’97, at the opening of the meeting wel-
comed those preseift and turned the
meeting over to J. E. Miller, Alderman-
elect from the Seventh Ward, who pre-
sided. There was a good attendance
of men who represented the hard-
working, self-respecting portion of the
community. The speakers were Direc-
tor Alexander Troup of the Department
of Public Works of New Haven; Mr.
Harry Leigh, who is much in the poli-
tics of New Haven; Livingston W.
Cleaveland, ’81 L.S., Judge of Probate
of New Haven; A. Maxcy Hiller; H.
G. Newton, 72 L.S.; Rev: -A; ¥. Ervine.
The speeches were good and the senti- .
ment of the meeting was strongly in
favor of the appropriation by the city
of a sufficient sum of money to supply
that part of the city and all others who
desired to use them, with good public
bath houses. A petition was started
and was largely signed on the spot. It
will be presented to the Council when
it meets early in June. The members
of the different Faculties of the Univer-
sity will be.among the petitioners.
This whole movement for this public
improvement has begun under the
auspices of this Yale institution and has
been managed with great enthusiasm
and good judgment. A. C. Ludington,
