The New Library at Yale.

The Chittenden library at Yale which has for some time been in process of construction is now nearly finished, and will probably be ready for the reception of books by Christmas. The old library contains about 175,000 volumes, only 80,000 of which will, at present, be out into the new building. About 25,000 of the most popular of these will be placed on the first floor and the books which are less used will be arranged on the two upper floors. The old library will not be turned into a dining hall, as was rumored, since many of the books will be left in it for the present. The reading room, however, will probably become part of the new library.
