A New Dormitory for Yale.

Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt New York, have just tendered the gift of a new dormitory to Yale College.

The building is to be a memorial of their son, William Henry Vanderbilt, who was a member of the present senior class, and who died in May of last year.

The corporation designated as a site the space on Chapel street between the art school and Osborne Hall.

It was stated on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt that the building would be of stone and fireproof, and equipped with everything possible for the comfort and health of students. They have selected for their architect Mr. C. C. Haight of New York. The new structure will necessitate the removal of Old South College, and when finished will be the largest and finest building on the college grounds, and will nearly complete the enclosure of the quadrangle.
