New Buildings at Yale.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

During the past three months the campus at Yale has seen many changes. The Chittenden Memorial Library is rapidly approaching completion, while the foundations of the new recitation building, money for which has been given by an unknown friend of the university, have been laid. Its architecture is a mixture of Romanesque and Arabesque happily blended. That part of the building toward the corner of College and Chapel streets, near the site of the historic "fence," is to be partly circular in form and to have twelve sides. The stone work above the entrance arches will be magnificent. The arches are to be supported by polished marble pillars.

In order to make room for the new library, it was necessary to demolish the old building on the campus-the chemical laboratory.

There is a great furore among the students at present for pieces of the "fence," and almost every room contains one or more pieces of it. Many students have their class pictures framed with the unpolished wood.
