This clip from a College promotional film produced in 1950 highlights scientific study at Middlebury. Students (or as the dulcet narration calls them, "ambitious youth") are shown performing a number of experiments with varied equipment. From morbid dissections to exhilarating pyrotechnics, the showcase highlights the "enduring zest for intellectual tasks" that the film says Middlebury has always striven to impart to its students.
