This is the story they told in Washing

Welt was sweeping things before him in
the popular primaries i'm various States;
The colonel approached the gate of
Heaven. and was met by st. Peter, who
welcomed him with alacrity. Hardly had

That's not enough" objected the col

Can yo, get $4,000 tenors?'
ST Peter thought that could be done.
And 5000 contraltos?' pursued the
new arrival.
This also was agreed to.

(From the ST. Adams M~essenger.)
Despite some adverse from
what has been considered not an alto
gether disinterested source. It has been
known for some time that the medical
school Of the University Of Vermont was
graduating men very we'll equipped to
fill the responsible positions that doctors
hold in country and city. 1t has. per-
haps, been only natural that the atten-
ton OF Investigators should first be turn
ed to professional and technical schools
to determine their efficiency, but 1t was
not to be thought that the universities
n colleges of the land would forever
escape classification az to the relative
value OF their bachelors degrees.
Now what has been termed as ''judg-
ment day" has come to the colleges.
The government put one OF Its experts
on the Job and after almost ceaseless
labor OF n most exacting kind this man
has made his report, making five classes
OF the country's institutions. II "A col
lege's graduates would ordinarily be able
to take masters degrees in any of the
large graduate schools In one year with
out taking any other subjects than those
prescribed by the higher institution, then
that school Is in the first class. II extra
subjects would be necessary, but the
student would be able to carry on the
work. Their the college Is In the second
class. Between class two and three is
the great divide and the scale runs lower
and lower until many OF the colleges of
which the South boasts. but which are no
more than high schools. are reached.
Tho~o ar> O~lxy IN Institutions 10 xko Flrct
class; 1S1 in the second. 81 in the third.
and 40 in the fourth. And some Of the
most famous schools in the land. as for
instance the Sheffield School at Yale.
Syracuse. New York University and
others, are in the second class.
Vermonters want to know where the
States colleges stand. In the first place,
Norwich University Is not yet classified.
but It is known that It is locke upon
with high favor by the war department,
Middlebury college Is in the second class,
but although It does not quite measure
up to the requirements OF the standard
institution, It Is better off than the usual
run Of colleges in second place, for 1t is
granted that brilliant students with
brilliant records may be admitted to
graduate schools Professionally" It Is
not to be thought that Middlebury could
not In time get into the first class; all
that would be necessary would be "a
gentle increase In it's standards Of ad-
mission and graduation"
The University OF Vermont is In the
honor list and stands shoulder to shoul-
der with such New England colleges a.
Dartmouth. Amherst. Yale, Harvard.
Williams and others. Nothing IL lacking
and her graduates leave her halls with
as good a stamp as they do from any
other place. 1t Is Nermonters
would expect and have q right to ex-
peel. The university proves itself worthy
Of confidence and in Its pure academic
side Is lust as deserving as any other
institution in the land. Does this look
as II Nermont were %decadent?
