The new dormitory nearly completed at Yale is 160 feet long and 46 feet wide. It is four stories high with a steep gable roof with dormer windows.

Three entrances open on the campus and 26 double rooms and 22 single rooms are to be the accommodations. It will cost about $125,000.

C. L. Flack, one of the victims injured by the collapsing of the grand-stand during the Yale-Princeton foot ball game on Nov. 27, 1890, has sued the owners of the ground and the Yale and Princeton teams for $15,000 damages.
