THE UNIvERsITY.
The Incoming Glass - some General
Notes.


Work on the College building is being
pushed AS rapidly as possible, but there is
little likelihood of It's being ready for occu-
pancy before the beginning of the Winter
term. 1t will be necessary 10 make tempo
rary arrangements for the classes in the Lii
brary building and elsewhere, as during u
part Of last term. We understand that a
large Freshman class is expected. The an
nouncements of additions to the scholarship
funds have attracted hither considerable
number of that class of young men who
abound in our State, young men who have
talents and ambition but only slender pecu-
mary means, and who have hitherto gone in
great numbers TO institutions that could offer
them more pecuniary help. The number of
studentsin our University could be almost
indefinitely increased by liberal in
crease of the funds at its disposal
for the encouragement of students who have
70 provide by their own exertions for the ex
pcnses of their education class of students
who usually form the back bone of the inst-
tutions in which they are found and of the
communities and commonwealth into which
they go, class from which the CollameIs
and Gariields are mainly supplied. Our CIT
liens would rejoice TO see the number OF stu.
dents in our University increased to an equal
ity with these of Dartmouth and Williams.
With as ample provision as they have for Sc
curing this class of students, this would be
practicable. We understand that the appl-
cants for such aid are more than double the
number of available scholarships. Here is
an opportunity for most satisfactory kind of
benevoence. The donation or bequest of II
thousand dollars, or the annual payment of
sixty dollars, at present rates of tuition,
would secure a student for the University in
perpetual succession, and would thus help to
build up an institution which would be the
pride of our State
There is another point that we would like
to bring to the attention of the public Many
Of these young men would be glad to find
places where they could do certain amount
OF work in payment, or part payment, for
their board. They are usually young men
who have been accustomed to work, who un-
derstand the care of animals, and could bring
of course, more intelligence and capacity to
the work entrusted to them, than the ordinary
laborcr. 1t would seem probable that by
employing young men of this character, many
families might at once help students in their
laudable efforts, and secure the most compe
tent service for themselves.

to the consideration of the next Legislature
VIII be the question of building new Jail for
this county. The last grand Jury reported
the present Jail as ancient" Insecure" too
small for the number of its occupants, ILL
ventilated, intolerably offensive to the sense
OF smell, ian unfit habitation for human
beings, and not to be tolerated by civilized
community" Grand juries have said the
same thing in substance about the Jail, over
and over and over again. How long do the
intelligent and decent inhabitants of Chitten-
den county propose to maintain this public
nuisance and disgrace? 1t will cost some
thing, OF course, to remedy the scandals
It costs something for the people to clothe
their bodies decently, and to live in houses
instead OF burrowing in holes in the ground
But II the taxpayers of Chittendcn county
desire to maintain their standing as civilized
community, they can no longer afford thus
to save their money at the expense of human
lily, decency, and the good name OF the coun-
ty. Let the people look TO this, and sec that
men are selected for the next Legislature,
who will not give this matter the go-by. A
new Jail can be built without serious burden
on the county but If that were not the
case IL would still be clear duty to take
up the burden. 1t has been far too long
neglected already.
