MANY DEVELOPMENTS RECORDED AT YALE

FRESHMEN STILL CONTINUE IN DAILY ATTENDANCE

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Now Haven, Conn., September 27,--For the first time in a century Yale undergraduates, with the exception of Freshmen, are to be relieved from the compulsion of attending chapel daily, according to a statement made public by Frederic S. Jones, Dean of Yale College.

Compulsion Continues

This change, however, does not hasten the day of voluntary chapel attendance. Unable to provide facilities for the upper classmen, the University has ruled that men shall attend chapel on alternate days of the week and on every other Sunday. One platoon will attend on Monday, Wednesday and Friday; the other on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. At stated intervals the groups will be shifted in order to equalize the week-ends.

Freshmen Must Attend Daily

Although the upper classmen have exceeded the limit of Battell Chapel, Freshmen will nevertheless be required to observe daily attendance at an earlier hour in the morning:

Another revolution in Yale life is hinted at by Dean Jones, namely, the destruction of the "fence" on the Campus. Changes in the walks and roads of the Campus have left the fence in an awkward situation, but no action will be taken until the graduates and undergraduates have been consulted.
