RESIGNATION OF PRESIDENT
SPOONER.

General regret will be felt through
out the State at the resignation of
President Charles H. Spooner of Nor
witch University, which was accepted
last Saturday.
DR. Spooner has been president of
Norwich since 1902, and during the
twelve years of his administration the
college has enjoyed the greatest pros
perity of its history. Students have in
creased in number and the educational
standards have been raised. As a
military college Norwich has been
brought to front rank, as recognized
year after year by the war department.
The administration of DR.. Spooner has
multiplied the resources of the college
several times. A number of new build
ings have been secured, including hal
named after Admiral Dewey and q
Carnegie Library.
President Spooner has be en- a tireless
worker, devotedly consecrated to the
upbuilding of Norwich, and fearles:
and tactful in combating every attack
made upon it. He has had some trying
experiences, especially in the past two
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1915-04-16

years, but has always borne himself
with dignity and has never forgotten to
be courteous. To be really known, DR..
Spooner needed to be seen in the uniform
of his country among his own cadets on
the Norwich campus, where he ex-
emplifed at once the honor of a soldier
and the grace of scholar. Under his
leadership Norwich has gained an en-
viable reputation for the efficiency of
her graduates, and the college will be
fortunate If her recent record can be
sustained under the administration OF
President Spooner's successor.

The aim of the committee is not
to benefit any one branch of trade,
but to add to the prosperity and hap
piness of the whole community.
The title Clean Up and Paint Up
is the one under which the movement
started in st, Louis in 1912. and it
was thought best to cooperate with
the national bureau and use this
title, as it tells the property owners
plainly Just what is wanted in each
community.

the country for cleanliness and thrift
and we should all endeavor to main

President Thomas Gives Reading

very enjoyable affair While mainly
from the Canadian poet, w. H. Drum
mond, several selections from Paul
Lawrence Dunbar, Percy Mackaye and
others were rendered. 1.-The Habit
ant" which gives the name to the COL
lection of DR.. Drummond's poems,
''The Stovepipe Hole" and Little Ba-
teese," were among the illustrations of
French dialect which appealed particu-
larly to the audience. when Melindy
Sings" "Giddap G'long Sue" were
also highly appreciated.
President Thomas discaims being a
professional reader; perhaps he is not,
but he certainly gave a first-class even
ing's entertainment. Though the night
was stormy the Free Library realized
a substantial sum. The next entertain
ment in the course will be a reading by
Miss Throop, particulars of which are
to be announced later.
