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.

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.
