Yale Sophomores Will Sell Stock to Build Dormitory

Yale's need of new dormitories, particularly for freshman classes, is brought to light in a striking manner by the recent action taken by the class of 1918. The sophomores, wishing to have their quarters on Berkely Oval next year, have announced their intention of forming a stock company to build a dormitory for the incoming class of 1920, to the end that they might have the Oval to themselves.

The project has met with the approval of the university and the class of 1918 will immediately proceed to sell stock and raise the money for the new dormitory. The Yale Alumni Weekly says: "The stand of the present sophomores, unwilling to face a third year as campus outcasts and yet ready to put their shoulders to the wheel in the matter of providing adequate freshman dormitory accommodations, cannot but command respectful attention and applause."
