NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Three units of Yale's House Plan, which will go into full operation in the fall of 1933, have been officially named, according to announcement made yesterday by President James Rowland Angell. One of the new units, which will include the Sterling Quadrangle on Elm Street, will be named Trumbull, College in honor of Jonathan Trumbull, governor of Connecticut shortly after the Revolution. The other two colleges will be named Calhoun and Edwards in honor of John C. Calhoun, Yale 1804, and Jonathan Edwards, Yale 1720, respectively. Calhoun was the famous statesman of Civil War days, while Edwards was a theologian and metaphysician of note.

The names of five other units, which had been announced previously, are Pierson, Davenport, Saybrook, and Berkeley. Three more units remain to be named, making eleven in all. Pierson and Davenport, the first of the units to be completed, have been opened this year, as was the case with Lowell and Dunster at Harvard a year ago. Edward Stephen Harkness, Yale '97, is the donor of the funds for the buildings.

The two colleges just completed are of brick, in Colonial Georgian architecture, and trimmed with limestone and brownstone. Each of the buildings is in the form of a large double court, somewhat similar to the arrangement of Lowell House.

Each house has rooms for tutors and fellows, and accommodations for approximately 100 students, arranged in suites.
