Notes and Gossip Concerning COL

Professor Sanford is holding volun-
tary class in freshman Latin twice a
week. The good that is resulting is
already evident.
Professor Wright began his series of
readings last Tuesday. The subject of
his readings is "The Ring and the Book. "
Many of the students are availing them
selves of this literary treat.
The sophomores Of the Chi Psi
fraternity held card party in their
parlors last Thursday.

The Alpha Chi sorority recently

Miss Calhoun, Miss Wales, Miss Cook,
Miss Fisk, Miss Rust, Miss Duffield, Miss
Stilson, Miss Whitney and Miss Fay.
The members of the Chi Psi fraternity
were pleasantly entertained at the home
of Dugald Stewart last Friday evening.
The management of the football team
cancelled the last two football games of
the season on account of the lack of
funds. The athletic association, however.
called a meeting, and almost every MEM
Der pledged to back the manager fl
nancially, should he run behind. The
game with Norwich was therefore re-
arranged
The game with Norwich University
last Saturday resulted in tie, the score
being to at the end of the second
half. All the scoring was done in the
first half. Middlebury did not play her
usual good game, as three of the varsity
men were out of it. Norwich has taken
a decided brace recently and the team
was much stronger then when the
college played at Northfeld.
The talk of the hour is of the freshmen
sophomore game to be played soon. The
freshmen officially posted their challenge
last Tuesday and it was Immediately
accepted.
Olmstead 90 has been confined to his
bed for several days with severe attack

Safe cracksmen operated upon the safe
of w. II. Thomas & Co., in their office at
their feed and grain store near the depot
last Thursday night or Friday morning.
The operat ors filled the key hole with an

wrecked. The woud-br robbers piled
bags of grain about the safe and used
wet bags to deaden the sound OF the ex-
plosion but it was heard in the neiohbor-
hood, one neigEbor supposing it was
thunder. He got up and reports it was
