NEW HAVEN, CONN., Nov. 13. - The autumn meeting of the Yale Corporation was held this afternoon. The chief business was the adoption of a complete new system of commencement exercises, and the discontinuance of the valedictory and salutatory. The graduating theses of the Law and Scientific Schools and the Townsend orations of the academic department will be held as usual, and a new officer who will be known as "orator" will present the candidates for degrees to the President and Corporation.

Under the new regime the commencement exercises will be much shorter than formerly.
