the alumni In reference TO a change OF name OF the
institution Is likely to be the end at least for many
years TO come, OF an agitation which has gone in
desutory way for number OF years. The committee
OF correspondence sent out the following questions:
% Do you think 1t desirable that the OF IVES
eyan University should be changed (2) II
change should be made, what name would you recon-
mend ?" Dsregardng the ambiguous answers, the com
mittee reported 355 votes in favor OF change and 3oI
opposed The answers to the second question show
wide range difference of judgment II all variations OF
form-as, for instance. Middleown College College OF
Mlddletown Middetown University, University OF Mid
dIeown- counted separate names. the whole
Der Of names proposed exceeds ninety. A decided
plurality OF votes is in favor OF purely local name.
There are % votes for Afiddlctown College, "A for

without designation as either college university.
There are votes for New England University and IL
for University OF Connecticut Various other forms OF
local names are suggested In a few Of the answers as
for instance University OF Middet0wn, Middletown Uni
versity of Connecticut New England College, University
OF New England, Connecticut College, Connecticut Uni

names, the group OF most IN favor are those con
nected with the name OF Wesley There are p votes
for Wesley University, "a for Wesley College and for
Wesley without designation either college or uni

Wesley. still others propose TO make name indirectly
memorial OF John Wesley, as Epw0rth or Oxford An
other considerable group OF votes those In favor OF
adopting the Of OF the former presidents
or Of some one OF the munfcent benefact0is Of the
college. The names Fisk DIN, Foss, Rich, Judd,
Hoyt Seney and Oyres accordingly appear In various
notifications Thirty seven votes are In favor OF
adopting the name OF future benefactor, whose
gifts shall be larger than those OF any single donor In
the past There Is something significant in the chrome
logical distribution of the vote In the earlier classes
there is strong majority opposed to any change
TO maximum which is attained I'm the decade 1871
80. That this tide has begun to ebb appears TO be
indicated by the fact that In the decade 1so-'0O the
vote Is Almost equally divided canvass OF the
undergraduates Undertaken by The Argus Associt-
ton shows only SO votes in favor OF change and 100
votes against a change. In view OF this state OF
things the unanimous votes in the beard OF trustees
and in the alumni association against any change OF
name appear natural and inevitable results.
