ing the present year without deficit
and during the war the endowment
funds have risen from less than a mil
lion to more than a million and a half,
not including the Sage bequest of $780,,
00O The college was never in so
strong a position as it is today.
Military and naval features will
doubtless be emphasized at all college
commandments this year, and we are
fortunate to have as our special guests
Major General Clarence r. Edwards
leader of the Yankee Division from
Seicheprey to the Argonne, and Briga-
der General Stephen M. Foote, 81, the
ranking Middlebury man in the army
General Edwards, with Governor Glenn
ent, the Trustees, and alumni who are
veterans OF the Civil War; will review
Middlebury soldiers, sailors, and those
who have participated in war work i'll
civil positions, from the steps of the
Mead Memorial Chapel Saturday at
1920 A. NJ. All who have served in
army or navy are asked to fall in by
classes on the campus in front of the
old chapel promptly at 10 A. M. A
place will be designated for those, both
men and women, who have occupied
civil positions, such as welfare workers,
nurses, workers in munition plants and
ship yards, leaders in Liberty Loan
drives etc, etc, All are urged to join
the procession and all discharged sol
diers and sailors are asked to appear in
uniform.
Following the review, the procession
will enter the Mead Memorial Chapel,
where General Edwards will receive
the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws
and respond in a brief address.
The entertainment of Saturday ev-
ening will be the comic opera, The Mi
kado, rendered by a chorus of Middle
bury students under the leadership of
Mr.. w. A. Bissell
The Baccalaureate Service Sunday
morning will be held in the Mead Me
mortal Chapel, and at 4:30 P. NJ.
Memorial Service for the Middlebury
men who gave their lives in the war will
be held in the Congregational Church.
1t is fortunate that we can have for
the address on this occasion our own
alumnus, DR.. Charles E. Hesselgrave,
who had charge of the Y. M. c. A.
work for the Yankee Division during
their active service.
The great day of Commencement
will OF course be graduation day, Mon
day, with the graduating exercises in
the Congregational Church and address
by DR.. Harry Emerson Fosdick, one of
the most brilliant orators of America,
by the comforting OF honorary
degrees. Then will come the Com
mencement Luncheon in the McCul-
Tough Gymnasium, with after-dinner
speeches by General Foote, Chaplain
Axton and Others.
Several suggestions have been made
with reference to a fitting perpetuation
Of Middlebury's record in the war. 1t
seems to be the general feeling that at
least there should be placed in the old
chapel a bronze tablet containing the
names of those who gave their lives.
Some think there should be a series OF
tablets with. the name OF every Middle !
bury soldier and sailor. A suggestion
which also appeals to me is that of a
special scholarship for each gold star
on our service flag. There are nine
names on the list. A ship bear
ing the name OF a fallen warrior should |
have special significance. Our largest |
are now $50 a year. A
und OF $1,000 in the name Of each man,
$4,000 in all, would give us nine special
