Old MIDI last Friday night by attend
ing the Alumni dinner of the New York
Middlebury Association at the Union
League Club at the very hour at which
DR.. Collins own class at Yale was hold

of the city
Dr.. Collins spoke at the dinner on the
problems which the College faces this
wear, and commented on the fact that
the students at Middlebury were show
ing scholastic record in spite of unfa
vorable circumstances. DR.. II. +. Eos
dick and Dwight W. Morrow were the
other speakers, and H. K. Twitchell,
president of the association was toast
master.
A very vivid and interesting talk
was given on the recent great
war; by DR.. Fosdick, who is graduate

esting things of which DR.. Fosdick
spoke was an episode of his life in
France, which was the means OF max

gate at a time when there were about
300 men at that institution; land" said
he, IF there is any one thing about
which the tendrils of mans affections
cling most closely, think it is the
small college rather than the big uni
versity."
Mr. Dwight W. Morrow, who follow
ed DR. Fosdick, was a member OF the
Inter allied Shipping Commission, and
told about some of the difficulties in
volved in transporting men and sup
plies from the home bases to the battle
line. He said we were going to hear
a great deal about the mistakes that
the government made, but that those
who were disposed to criticise should
consider the magnitude of the task and
the obstacles which had to be over
come.
The dinner was enlivened by the
singing of popular songs, many OF them
redressed to fit Middlebury. Some OF
the verses follow:
There's long, long path a-winding
Up the dear Old College Hill,
Where the chapel bell is ringing,
In my mind l hear it STILL
Oh the college that we cherish,
Long may we hold it dear
To the distant years still bringing
It's memories of good cheer.
Its long time since we left you,
Our college home on the hill,
With the Offers cool stream winding
Through green meadows still.
Though the strife of life's long battle
May at times dim thy view,
Our thoughts will e'er return again
Dear old college home, to you.
Another which brought big laugh was
