The following rule has been made
by the Faculty at Wesleyan, to go
into effect this year: "No student
shall be allowed to represent the
college on more than two of the
following organizations in any col
lege year, nor on any two that are in
progress at the same time of the
year, without special permission
from the Committee on Administra
tion: football, baseball, basketball,
track team, glee club."
Considerable interest is shown
over a bequest of $400,000 to Yale

is described as very eccentric, never
having spent a penny outside of
necessities and having a particular
objection to Americans. There is
no knowledge of his ever having
had any connection whatever with
the university.
P•ofessor (to graduating class in
college)—:'Young men, there is one

you most in your struggles for an
education?" Young Scadds (prompt
ly speaking up from the toot of the
class)—"Dad's check book has
helped me about as much as any of .
'em, so far."—Ex.
