precautions in wearing the hat. Every

announced that all newspaper CORE

Hereafter any newspaper men are
free to walk in and out Of Tumultys

followed forty-five minutes later. Viii

Wesleyan university has left the ranks
of the great unwashed colleges, having
installed a huge bathtub, or swimming
pool. The swimming pool is a necessary
adjunct of an up-to-date colleges equip
ment for the physical betterment of its
students and it is one of the best fea-
lures of the athletic side of college life,
furnishing as it does, about the most
splendid form of exercise for the devel.
opment of the various muscles of the
body and at the same time promoting
cleanliness. II has been said that swim
ming brings into play more muscles of
the human body than any other form
OF exercise; and such being the case It
is well to encourage the exercise as much
as possible, let alone the benefit of the
knowledge OF swimming in cases of
emergency such as frequently arise. All
the colleges ought to have a swimming

BACK TO THE "HILL TOWNS

The baccalaureate discourse of Presi.
dent Thomas to the graduating class Of
Middlebury College last Sunday was not.
able as an appeal extraordinary to the
| college men and women of to-day, urg-
| ing them to turn aside from the most
promising appearing fields for their ac-
tivity and to go to the "hill towns,
where the opportunities for financial
gain are not so great but where the
call for leadership is extremely urgent.
The designation chill towns" means in
Vermont the back and backward dis
tricts. where there is the least touch
and contact with the vital spark of prog
ress. Those districts undoubtedly need
an impetus which can come only from
association with persons of advanced
ideas such as the serious minded men
and women being turned out by the col
leges are able to bring to them. There
fore, the appeal of President Thomas to
his graduates to cast their lots in some
of the hill towns of Vermont with
view toward devoting themselves to the
upbuilding of those sections was well
made. The hill towns want no grad
yates with stilted idea of their own
impressiveness or with an abnormal de-
velopment of egotism, but rather il
wants men and women, whether college
men or not. who while maintaining a
reasonable self-respect, are able to throw
themselves seriously into the work Of
upbuilding Vermont, not processing TO
be leaders but nevertheless leading by
the force Of their personality and by
the power of their example. Those col
lege men and women who are in a posi-
ton to bring to the hill towns that per-
sonality and that example are seriously
wanted, and President Thomas notable |
appeal to their loyalty is timely.
