prayer. The first Grafton was preceded
by the customary salutatorv in Latin, and
Miss Sheldon, who led her class, gave

repast of the day before, it was all that
could have been asked Grace was said
by Rev. f. F. Stone of the class of 80.
President Brainerd. in starting of the af-
ter-dinner speaking, talked in particular
of the results of the experiment of coedu-
cation, saying that it had succeeded be-
yOnd the most sanguine expectations of
the corporation and faculty. Rev. DR..
G.. n. Boardman of Chicago, class of II,
said he believed in institutions with his
tories. traditions and records of work ac-
complished. Such an institution was
Middlebury, which had done as good
work in its field as any institution in the
country. He was 10th to open its doors
to women, thinking better results could
be obtained for them in separate colleges.
but the success of the plan justified the
change. DR.. p. b. Goodsell of Boston,
class of -, gave his notions of what IA
college should do for its students. giving
them power of thought rather than filling
them with facts. Rev. DR.. Smart of
Brandon expressed his belief in Middle
bury as a college and as having bright
future before her. Prof. Plehn, speak
ing for the faculty, made a happy i'm
preston and said, among other things,
that the alumni could be very helpful to
the college by doing what they could to
send her students.
