faculty maintain their positions, each refus-

seems to be Of the most serious kind and
liable To end in the complete breaking up of
this institution The students, however, are
hoping to have a corporation meeting and it
is possible that a compromise will be made.

The New York Sun has a long despatch
from Middlebury, giving an account of the
troubles there, which differs slightly from
that given 10y our correspondent 1t says
the trouble originated in the unpopularity of
President Hubert that early in the term
the President forbade kicking a football be-
tween the college buildings One day he
caught Sophomore c. c. Leavenworth kick
ing the ball and gave him twenty-five or
thirty dement's. One of the regulations Of
college etiquette is that no Freshman shall
carry Il cane; but on Tuesday morning one
of the Freshmen came into the chapel to
prayers with IA cane. and the Sophomore
made rush 10 take it away. This was re
pcated at prayers on Wednesday morning
On Thursday morning the President gave
notice that each of the Sophomores should
be given twenty four dement's and each of
the Freshmen sixteen dement's. This
made Leaycnworth So many dement's that
Ia, a
laws. The Sophomore5 held class meeting
and resolved that the suspension OF Leaven-
worth was arbitrary and unjust, and that
they would absent themselves from college
and COLLEGE discipline until their comrades
case was rcconsidcrcd and at the same time
sent petition TO the faculty, informing them
of their decision After this they counsclled
with the Seniors, who supported them.
In the afternoon the faculty summoned the
Sophomorcs 10 meet them, which they did
without favorable results. On Friday alter
noon there was another meeting between
them. The faculty refused to take advice
from the Sophomore class, and suspended
them. The protest, which We have already
published, was then signed by all the students
in CoIIa,,a S,ni,rs minors and Freshmen
.

any reason why the undergraduates, because |
they think that one of their num-
Der has been uniustly disciplined, |
should think il necessary to 20 into n gen

that the judgment of court of law is not eN-

The faculty announce as their ultimatum
that the Sophomores must send in a written
apology, as the alternative for the expulsion
OF the entire class; and that all the students
return to their homes in the meantime To
await the pleasure Of the college au-
thorities 1t is said TO he improbable that
the SOphs will sign an apology.
The outside community are ut Il loss to |

severe penalty for merely kicking foot

Whatever the merits and result of the case,
it is certainly giving Middlebury first

persons were unaware that such "A college
existed.
