ACTING PRESIDENT
DOING GREAT WORK

The following is a well deserved tribute to
DR.. Edward d. Collins reprinted from this
weeks issue Of The Middlebury Campus
In a world where a mans ability is
too often measured by the degree of
success with which he keeps himself
in the public eye, and his worth by his
frankness in heralding his own achieve
ments, it is refreshing thing to find
man who does big things so quietly
and unassumingly that it is with
start of surprise that we realize that
they are big. Middlebury has more
than one such man on her faculty and
among their number is her Acting
President.
When DR.. Collins took the reins of
college government this fall and proved
his ability to drive with steady hand,
the college students recognized the fact
that here was a man in their midst
whom they had not until now really
discovered, and with this realization
came conviction that his qualities

THREE SPEAKERS
PAY HONOR TO 7. R.

The nation wide observance of last
Sunday as Roosevelt Day found
ready response in Middlebury. Judge
c. l. Button and 1t. Raymond McFar-
land, both ardent admirers of Roose-
velt, spoke at union meeting in the
Baptist Church last Sunday evening,
while at the college vesper services,
Prof. Everett Skillings paid another
tribute to the late ex-president.
Judge Button took as his subject
"Our Hercules" and likened Roosevelt
to Hercules, pointing out the five
leading characteristics of Hercules as
being the same as those of Roosevelt.
The final and most prominent char
acteristic of each he said was that each
worked for the joy of working He
pointed out the fact that Roosevelt's
tremendous enthusiasm was impaired
to every one who came in contact with
him. Judge Button gave an excellent
summary of the life of Roosevelt, tell
ing of his first appearance in public
life at the age Of twenty-three, his cow
boy life in the west, his experience as
police commissioner of New York, as
African hunter, and as President.
Professor Mcfarland began by tell
ing of being delegate at the great
Chicago convention which nominated
Roosevelt, and of the tremendous feel
ing for Roosevelt that was manifested
there, when with Roosevelt a thousand
miles away, at the mention of his name
the entire body rose to its feet and
cheered him for forty minutes He
spoke of Roosevelt as a man whose
reach exceeded his grasp, and the con-
tagious effect of his undertaking great
tasks without sparing himself on all
who knew him or knew of him. He
spoke of Roosevelt's family life, and
said the nation rejoiced with him as he
'rolicked with his children on the green
of the White House grounds. The ma
ton, he said looked to Roosevelt's
family to take its place in the countrys
history, and it had certainly done so,
ior although Roosevelt himself was not
allowed to engage in the war, he was
proud to wear a service flag with five
stars in it, representing his sons. He
mentioned the fatalities and Roosevelt's
patriotic manner of taking them In
he read the words of the
president on the night before he died,
-elling all patriotic Americans to crush
out the red flag and stand for the Stars
aud Stripes

RARE SIGHT OF
THREE sun DOGS

Thousands of people in Addison
County must have had their attention
called on Wednesday forenoon to what
are really rare optical phenomena.
Some characterized them as "rainbows
around the sum-" but they were, in fact,
solar halos, due to masses of ice
crystals hanging in vertical position
through which the suns light is re-
fracted and reflected A necessary con-
dition to this phenomena is that the
air in the upper regions is remarkably
still, allowing the minute ice needles to
hang vertically in the clouds of which
they form a part, and these ice parti-
cles have to be oriented in a special
manner to assure the reddish ring
On Wednesday, not only one, but
three halos were visible at times, and
it was the intersection of these halos
which caused the "sun dogs" to appear
in the form of three bright spots in the
sky near the sun. Prof. E. c. Bryant
of the College, who teaches astronomi-
cal subjects, says that it is extremely
rare that three sun dogs, or mock suns,
are visible at one time as they were
Wednesday. On the previous night
there was also halo around the moon,
which was caused by the same condi-
tions in the upper atmosphere.
Scores of people in Middlebury who
saw the "sun dogs" were certain of
their Importance as indications of a
storm to come Astronomy, however,
takes no stock in "sun dogs" as wealth
er indicators, A snow storm however,
began shortly before noon today with
promise of bringing sleighing again.

grade Lakes, Me-, on October Is, 1896,
and lived for time at Waldsboro, Me-,
coming to Middlebury about September
l. 1911. They did not live together

ground of intolerable severity.

to save her, and her recovery now
