Boston, MASS, May ga special from
NorthAdms, Mass, states that within the last
4S hours several members of the Junior class
of Williams college have been guilty of extreme
disorder and rowdyisn. Two members Of that
class have already been suspended and the pro
liabilities are that tho number will be speedily
increased. The origin of the difficulty is said to
have been the refusal of junior, who acted as
the jsnitor Of the chapel, to obey an order OF
President Ohadburne relating to the time tor
lighting the lamps, for which he was promptly
suspended. he was escorted to the depot by his
class, where great disorder occurred and discour-
tious epithets offered to the college authorities.
