MANY DELEGATES COMING.
over 90 Colleges VIII Send Repre-
scntntives to inauguration

IT is very complimentary to the Univer-
sity Of Vermont that so many colleges
have responded to the invitation to attend
the Inauguration of President Benton this
week. In many cases personal friend
ship for the president Is the basal motive,
but all have shown a regard for the col
lege that is gratifying. over 30 colleges
VIII send representatives. Twenty-Five of
these are in New England. Several will
come from the South and middle West,
and even California will be represented.
The delegates include about $50 college
presidents. deans and professors, coming
from 20 different States and from Canada.
Not only the colleges will be well rep
resented but also men prominent in other
helds of labor will be here. It is unfortu-
nate that there Is not an auditorium
larger than The Strong to hold the people
who will wish to attend the exercises.
Many will be unlimited whom the univer-
sity would like to have present, but lack
of room is the cause. There will be very
little room for any one except those in
The academic procession, much to the re-
gret of the committees in charge.
