Miss Gere, the new high school teacher,
has been wonderfully successful in Sc
curing the respect and affection of her
pupils, and is praised by committee and
principal. The patrons of the ischool
are to be congratulated that the high

The schools closed with examine
tons Wednesday forenoon. In the

torical exercises, some parts of which
were of more than average merit
Miss Hattie Corey, of Washington, ID.
c., read an interesting and well-writ-
ten essay, giving considerable novel in
formation regarding that city. The
usual sociable in the evening was we'll
attended and enjoyable. u
The college wheels are turning
briskly once more, and peace reigneth.
This happy result was not attained
without some little struggle. When
our last issue went to press, the students
were debating among themselves over
tho terms proposed to them by the fac
ulty for their reception back into col
lege relations. In some private talks
the faculty had explained many of the
supposed grievances of the students, so
that they saw things in slightly dit
ferent light. The faculty offered to
receive those back on probation who
would sign the following:
ITO the Faculty of Alddebury College Gen.
tlemen 4; wish hereby to express my willingness
to submit in the future to all collegiate require
ments."
A majority of the students felt that
in view of the satisfactory explanations
given by the faculty, no ground for
maintaining their attitude of resistance
remained, and were ready to sign this.
Others thought the paper should be
more explicit in lis terms, and drew up
another paper embodying the explana-
,Gon of the faculty which read as fol-
bows:
To the Faculty of Middlebury College: Gentle'
men Whereas, realize that no form of Govern |
ment can tolerate rebellion; and whereas, have |
been assured that new edition of college laws
is soon to be published; and, whereas, L have |
been assured that upon resuming college duties |
no dement, shall be charged for our late action |
and that all our petitions will meet with proper |
admit that my action has been morally wrong, |
therefore do hereby express my willingness to |
submit in the future to all college requirements"
The faculty objected to this, as imply |
ing distrust aud disrespect toward
them. The following communication |
was drawn up and presented to the |
students:
MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE, Nov. 81, 1879
In view of the seeming distrust of students in |
referent TO the animus and purposes OF the fac
ulty towards the suspended Students ii was voted |
that in view of the written expression made by |
them individually of their willingness to submit |
to all college requirements, we assure them
declared on Saturday, the 18th Instant, and Mon
day. the 18th instant, no dement, is to stand for
absences since Thursday noon the 18th instant
from students and give them candid considera-
tom third, that we leave question of the right
wrong of their recent actions to each mans con.
science.
In behalf of the faculty,
Q. Is. HUBERT, President.
This assurance was satisfactory TO |
most, and they accepted the terms of
the faculty. A number stood out, how
ever, bnt most of these by Monday |
morning had sent in to the faculty a
satisfactory promise to submit, and be-
fore the time of grace expired all sign
cd the paper which the faculty required.
There was some TX on the part of
some of them of applying for dismissal
from college at once, but this was
through o Misunderstanding, as their
reception on probation implies that no
honorable dismissal can be given until
the end of the probation. 1t is to be
hoped that all just causes of dissatisfac-
ton will be duly attended to by the fac
ulty, that no more such disturbances
may take place.
