COLLEGE OPENING POSTPONED
Work to BE Resumed Septem-
Der 80 instead of 23rd.
Change Made Because of Large Num-
Der of Cases Of I%nfantiic PnraIy-
sis In the stnte-Mnny STU
dents In Town.

At a meeting of the president, deans and
several of the members of the board o,
trustees OF the University of Vermont and
state Agricultural College, held last even
ing 1t was decided as a matter of precau-
ton to open the college on the Both of Sep
temher instead OF the Z3rd of the month,
as called for by the calendar. This course
was determined upon after lengthy ecu
sultation with members of the State board
of health, and also with the city board,
because of the epidemic of infantile par
alysis. The medical men were not at all
unanimous that this move was necessary
but the prevailing opinion was that 1t
would be better to err on the side Of eau
ton In a case like this where there is a
great deal of ignorance concerning the
nature of the disease.
This morning the following letter Is GO
Ing Onward to every member Of the stu
dent body:
TIC the Students of the University Of
Vermont:
THE fall session of ali colleges of the
university will begin the 3oth Of septem-
Der instead of the 23rd OF the month, as
announced in the catalogue. This post
ponement is ordered as a precaution to
safeguard the health of all against the In
fantile paralysis which has been preva
lent to some extent throughout the State
during the past few weeks.
THE danger Of the disease to those of
college age Is relatively slight, but after
comforting with the State board of health
we have thought 1t best to continue the
vacation another week as n better guar
antee Of safety.
CORDIALLY your friend,
GUY POTTER BENTON. President"
Entrance and makeup examinations
and football practice nave already
brought many students back to the city.
The change which will be necessary In the
date of examination has not yet been
made but 1t is probable that the whole
will be set ahead one week.

SCRAP THE GUNS.

Samuel Buffers social satire, "Ereh-
Won" describes a field outside the chief
city where all sorts of machines are
lying. %"scrapped." The visitor to tina
latest "Gulliver" land is told that as
nearly all the troubles of the people had
been due to machinery, the people had
at last discarded all machines.
There is one sort of machines tina
