1 llllllill War Menional Schohv hip will he set up program. Until the present, special programs in American Studies have been offered to a small number of Yale College and Graduate Students, but now Yale proposes to broaden these programs to pro ' ide a more systematic planning and coordination ot courses in the origin and development ot our social, political, and economic institutions. First, the University will t)pcn the program to equip the average Yale graduate, who though not a professional scholar, often as- sumes the task of leadership in the commu- nity. As a second step, the Graduate School will make available a special division of Amer- ican Studies to men and women now teach- ing in public and private schools throughout the country. HER BUILDINGS A new physics building will be erected to enable Yale to fulfill its part in the war effort. Housing a cyclotron, Eli physicists, under contracts from the U.S. government, will at- tempt to smash new and unexplored atoms. Inasmuch as serious overcrowding exists in Plant Science, Microbiology, Zoology and Biophysics as well as Physics, the old Sloane Laboratory will be turned o ' cr to these branches. Besides the government contract needs, Sloan was built in 1912 when whole areas of research and entire subjects now on the curriculum were in their infancy. Besides such construction for scientific pur- poses, other buildings such as a Freshman Activities Center will be erected; this one cost- ing $600,000 will help large entering classes more fully adjust to Llniversity life. E ' en old Connecticut Hall will be affected as a new steel frame bolsters its sagging brick walls. Moreover, the Yale fish are not forgotten, for Peabody Museum is to be enlarged to house new and wonderful piscatorial specimens. But these buildings are tools, and in the final out- come, Yale will, as always, be measured by its men. In Yale ' s student body lies idtimnte respdiisihility jor pra j ress

ment for research which will be used to pro- ' ide uninterrupted time to faculty members in order to complete research programs. It will also provide equipment and technical assistance and funds for publication. HER STUDENTS SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS To maintain the high scholastic and per- sonal qualities of her student body, Yale must continue unbroken the tradition of giving an opportunity for a Yale education to students of the highest caliber without regard to finan- cial status. Yet, to continue it in the face of War Memorial Scholarship fund in honor of those who gave their lives in the War. Through this, not only will the present standards be kept, but also it is hoped that Yale will be able to open its doors to more worthy students who can eventually make a contribution to the nation. GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS By attracting and training superior grad- uate students, Yale can assure herself of excel- lent teachers and scholars and spread her influence throughout the country. But the same financial necessities which require in- creased scholarship funds have caused a Pierson-Saae Ouadrangle housing latest scientific , . v . apparatus will stand in Sach eiu Woods ' ■ ' m 2P educational costs is more difficult than ever before. The latest tuition rise, while reflecting the increased cost of educating a student, does not fully cover all expenses. As one of the most heavily endowed universities in the country ' , Yale has been able to maintain its present program, even so running into an annual deficit. The income of one specific scholar- ship fund given in 1926 was almost able to cover all of a student ' s expenses here. Today, income from the same fund barely covers tuition. The Alumni Board has decided to foster a critical situation with respect to graduate fellowships. In fact, Yale has lost in recent years a number of her most promising grad- uate students. The University is preparing to double the amount available for graduate fellowships, not only to assist candidates for graduate degrees, but also to enable exceptional scholars to ob- tain further professional training. AMERICAN STUDIES Launching into a new concept of educa- tion, Yale is presently sponsoring and will widen the scope of the American Studies
