COLBY AND WATERVILLE.
The College Asks the Citizens to Help
j Build Dor mltory.
(Waterville Mall

tWnGerVllle MAIL.
A new movement has been .inaugurated
for the further material equipment of
Colby University. AT the last COM
menoemenu committee was appointed
consisting of President Butler and four
trustees to take the matter in hand. The
Office of financial secretary was es-
tablished. the first incumbent appointed
and. by Nov. l, 1896, the plan Of pro-
cedure was well inaugurated.
The present is a crisis in the progress
of the college. A good and progr esslve
work has been done for the last twenty
five years because Of the benefacti Jns re-.
ceived. But the incidents of the pass
ingsyears have deprecated the income of
funds, and at the same time the require
ments of a collegiate education have been
advanced. so merely to meet the normal
demands of the present and the next ten
years the University will need $780, O0O
half to be added to the general fund and
half to lie expended In buildings and
equipment. The college Is IN the con-
ditiOn of any large business that, having
run beyond its invested capital and facil-
tiles for service, must increase the one
ana enlarge the other or fall behind in
the competition IF the age and 60 uomessto
loss, decay and ruin. y
So the question of the day is-whether
the friends aud legitimate patrons of the
college Will permit this. The trustees do
not believe they will; that they are too
personally interested, that they have too
deep an affection for her welfare and the
cause of liberal education to allow this;
so they have instituted measures for the
increase OF her Financial resources as a
basis for the enlargement of her intellec-
tual, moral aad spiritual service. 1t is
designed to make the movements perma-
nent. It has been arranged to begin at
the college and work out. Already about
t15, 600 have been subscribed. of which
over $40, 900 were subscribed by the trus.
tees. faculty andsstudents.
Next to those connected with the Uni
versity come the citizens of Waterivlls
and the appeal is now to be made to
them. The most prominent object before
us is women's dormitory. 1t is real
necessity 1t will cost with Its furnish
ings 500, 600. Fifteen Thousand are provid-
ed for, and the citizens of Waterville are
asked to contribute the rest, the sub
scriptions to be paid in five equal annual
payments or In one payment as each one
wishes. II the amount is raised the city
or the subscribers will be asked TO name
the building and 1t will stand forever as
a memorial of their benefcenoe.
There is something in such subsorip-
tion besides thefactsthat it will assure the
building oftthe dormitory. Noshing will
more advance the work Of securing the
larger subscription so much needed. 1t
will inspire and lift 1T from the apathy
which now Is it's greatest hindrance. 1t
will stimulate the gifts of others and
will strengthen and encourage the friends
of the college everywhere. Wealthy men
and largo oivers hava pIad Dad THAR ovid
that they will give Largely as soon as
those nearer and intimately associated
with the college show proper interest
by their gifts.

FOR ADJUTANT GENERAL.
Col. Kendall ifs Candidate and Tells
Why.

Colonel Kendall Of the M. S. N. g., Of
Biddeford, inspected Company g, First
regiment Light Infantry. at the Aub urn
armory last evening. The boys turned
out in full force, doing the drill with life
and spirit that showed they took an in-
terest In the work. The colonel on the
whole was well pleased with the present
condition of the company. He stated to
the Sun reporter that he found 1t in
much better condition than he had ex-
pected.
Col. Kendall is candidate for adm

sion agency. Apropos of his candidacy.
Col. Kendall stated that there might
appear at first thought a violation of
delioaoy in working for an office which
is a part of the governors OH eisl family.
but az he was the senior officer of the
State and had been connected with the
militia for the past 30 years, he thought
he was deserving of the office, which was
his by right of promotion. Twenty Years
ago he joined the militia at Biddeford
asssasprivate. He was elected captain and
colonel, which position he has held from
that day to the present. The other can
didates for adjutant general are General
Richards of Gardiner and General Civ
OF Rookland, both of whom are old AMI.
diers ItSis claimed by Col. Kendall and
his friends, with some truth, that an oId
soldier not being In touch with the M &

the position as man who HAD bean as IL
