stitutIOn Is to BE Closed.

During the past few days there has
| been a persistent rumor to the effect
that the college of medicine OF the Uni
versty of Vermont Is to be closed and

DR.. II. C. Tinkham, dean of the college

the medical college would be opened as
usual in September and that the
prospects We're good for large entering
class
From the present indications there will
be an entering class at the medical
school next year Of between 80 and 40.
The prospects for the pre-medcal class
are for a large class next fall many APP
plications having already been received.
The other classes of the medical college
will be fully as large If not larger than
the past year, all OF the students having
made arrangements to return to finish
their course.
Tho medical college is still rated in
class A and will continue to be so rated,

developed its clinical facilities in every
direction to meet the requirements of
the council on medical education of the
American Medical association. There is
maternity ward and free dispensary

Is required by the council is adequate
hospital facilities. The committee on
ways and means expects to he very busy

Guy Potter Benton introduced those
who made remarks after the dinr,r.
Al the head table were seated ia,
president members OF the facult, .
the trustees and several dstingu
alumni.
The first speaker was the conn
mcnt day orator Bishop william
ser Mcdowell of Chicago. lie spoke
very briefly and told one or two irt g.
;estlng "reminiscences and related a
humorous story as applicable to his
aesire not to speak at length. The
story was that Of "A negro boy who
was caught in melon patch and gave
Tvs his excuse that he had come there
to pray The owner giving his per-
mssion to the lad to pray, the boy
assumed a pious air and said: Lord.
dismiss us with thy blessing"
The next speaker was Justice of the
Appellate Court of Illinois Albert

ure at returning to Vermont after a
long absence and of his regret at not

He contrasted the universities of the
West with the University of Vermont,
The former although often richly en-
dowed are located In a fiat country
and the students are composed of diff

the advantage of being located on thu
