New Dormitory for Yale.

Dr. A. J. White of New York has just given to Yale a gift of a $500,000 dormitory. This will be another step toward the demolition of the old brick row, and toward the complete dormitory accommodation of at least the academic department, which has long been the aim of the Yale corporation. The plans, prepared by J. C. Cady & Co., New York, provide for a brick building 190 feet long, with stone trimmings. It will be four stories high, with an additional fifth in the centre. It will be fire proof throughout, and will have toilet and bath rooms on each floor.

The peculiarity of the building is that the first floor is considerably above the ground, making the basement rooms very desirable for the office of the college journals, or for club rooms. It is hoped to have the building ready for occupation by the summer of 1894.
