NEW HAVEN, CONN., MARCH 19, 1917.--Mrs. S. V. Harkness has offered to Yale University new junior-senior dormitories to cover a whole block and accommodate 600 men. This gift is made in memory of Charles W. Harkness, Yale 1983, prominent at Yale and in the railroad and banking business. The Yale Corporation has voted to accept the gift. James Gamble Rogers, Yale 1983, has been appointed executive architect and Day and Klander consulting architects. This gift will put all Yale students in dormitories, and will provide a new building for the Peabody Museum, a new heating plant, and perhaps also a teachers' office. Work is to be begun this summer.
