Attention should be called to the
change in the college library schedule
this year. Week days it is to be open
from from $50 a. m. till 9 p. m. and on
Sundays from to 5 in the afternoon.
Last year the library was open only
three nights week, and it is thought
that the increasing of the hours will
prove a great benefit.
There has been considerable talk of
starting college training table at the
college boarding house, Hamlin Com
mons. Such table is common in all
the larger colleges, and it is to be
hoped that Middlebury will also have
one, as 1t would be valuable asset to
her athletic department, and go far
toward placing her on a level with
some of the larger colleges.
Middlebury has every reason to feel
encouraged at the football outlook.
We have Keefe, Bresnahan, Lamere
and Lynch from last years backfeld,
and Messenger and Sweetland, two
new men, are also out for backfield
positions. Sweetland played halfback
last year on the Washington and Lee
University team and was halfback on
the All Southern team. Messenger
was star halfback on the Haverhill High
School team. The first scrimmage of
the lweek was Wednesday night. At
that time, with one or two new men in
the line, the team appeared to be as
strong as Middlebury has seen for some
time.
The college fraternity rushing season
opened Wednesday and is now in full
sway. The rushing rules have been
materially changed this year. The
open season extends from September
20 to October 26, which is pledge day.
The bids will be in uniform written
form and shall be mailed to be delivered
in the morning mail on pledge day.
The freshmen shall mail their answers,
whether they accept them or not, by
the three O'Clock mail of the same day.
During the rushing season there shall
be no social functions at which non
fraternity men are present in the fra
ternity houses. One fraternity is not
allowed to have more than four nom
fraternity men at single meal and no
non-fraternity man shall be allowed to
eat more than two meals a week with
