PRES, ROBERTS,
COLBY COLLEGE,,
NOT TO RESIGN

Portland, Me-, Jan. 16-So far as any
President A. J. Roberts Of Colby col
lege is not going to resign. Rumors
to that effect have been current, but
at the mid-winter meeting Of the trus-
tees of the big institution held in Port
land Saturday afternoon, the question
of President Roberts resignation was
not even mentioned by him or by the
trustees. President Roberts was there
and he offered nothing on the report
that he was to leave the institution
where he had been the president since
1908 and a professor for years before
that
President Roberts has. it is under
stood, received an offer to 60 to an
other college. The trustees believe,
however. that he will not resign his
present position because of his long
service to the Waterville institution
where he has proved such an able Of
fetal.
Dormitories Named
At the meeting of the trustees Sat-
urday much business of interest to :he
graduates and the undergraduates was
transacted. The dormitory, which was
built three years ago, was officially
named Roberts hall in honor of the
president of the college. The new dor
mitory, which has just been completed,
was officially designated as Hedman
hall, in honor Of Prof. John Hedman
of the institution. The amount appro-
priated for this was 100000, bur the
actual cost was $4,000.
Prof. Charles p. Chapman. librarian
at the college, presented plans and es-
Inmates for increasing the library ia
cilities at the institution. This would
be done by using what is now known
as Memorial hall for a reading room.
According to the plans. the alterations
would be made without in any way
changing the memorial features of the
hall. The estimated cost Of the changes
was given as not over $500, and this
amount was appropriated by the trus-
tees.
Building Report
The committee on finance reported
that special repairs had been made on
Coburn hall, the Dutton house, which
is a girls dormitory, and North COL
lege, so that all Of the buildings at
the institution are now in the very
best of condition. A new biological lab
oratory has been fitted up in the base
