At Dartmouth College, few days ago,
the students were surprised to hear their
president, in solemn words and ominous
zones, accuse them of engaging in q leagued
conspiracy, and declare that such thing
could not 60 ON without his cognizance.
While the innocents tremblingly awaited
the evident disclosure of some foul plot or
mischievous design, suddenly he said he
would give his countenance and utmost aid
to this measure, which originated in the
minds Of the students. The rleagued con-
spiracy" il this: The under graduates pro-
pose to raise among their friends and the
alumni tho sum Of at least Afteen thousand
dollar, to be expended in heating the col
lege buildings with steam and lighting them
BY gas, thus Eliminating the danger from
fire, to which these buildings, with their
valuable contents, are exposed, and, ct the
same tine, securing to the occupants many
convepiences and advantages not now en-
joyed.
