Within the next two years Yale expects to put up three new buildings on the block bounded by College, Grove, High and Wall streets. The Misses Stokes of New York City have recently given $500,000 for a new administration building, which will be built fronting on Wall street. The auditorium and dining hall, which together will cost $750,000, will face on College and Grove streets. $250,000 has already been subscribed for these buildings and it is hoped that the alumni will subscribe the remaining $500,000 necessary in time for the buildings to be erected by 1901, the bicentennial year. On the High street side of the quadrangle it is proposed to build a university club at some future time. The plans of Carrere and Hastings of New York for the auditorium and dining hall have been approved, but have not been adopted in detail.
