"PARIS ANNEX

Announcement was made yesterday
by President John NJ. Thomas that
Middlebury College has secured DR.
H. P. Williamson de Visme as a per
manent member of the College Faculty
and that the French School which Or
de Visme established in France in l9lz
will be continued and be so related to
Mddlebury College that students Will
pass from one institution to the other
In other words, it appears that Mid
dlebury has what may be Literally
translated as a paris Annex. and has
thus forged an important educational
link between New England and her
gallant French ally.
The importance of the work in mo-
dern Languages at Middlebury, partic-
ularlv at the Summer Session has made
advisable the organization of special
division of modern languages, and it
is of this that DR.. de Visme will be
the head.
A native of Middlebury, DR.. de
Visme has distinguished himself in an
unusual manner by such thorough mas
terry of the French language, and such
intimate touch with French life that
although thoroughly American he has
at the same time passed among strang-
rs as a native Frenchman He was born
in Middlebury August 20, 1874, and pre-
pared for college in Middlebury high
school. After his graduation from col
lege he took postgraduate work mere
in history and literature, and in lo9'-
90 he was teacher at the Rugby school
in Kennilworth, ILL.,, and then became
a student of French language, customs
and literature in Paris, and added TO
this preparation postgraduate courses
in French philology and Italian at
Princeton University. He was asso-
ciate professor of French in the mi
versitv of Chicago l900-19l2, since when
he has spent most of his time in France.
He founded there the Ecole du Cha-
teau de Soisy, Soisy-sous-Etio an
institution for English speaking stu
dents which has met with much success
and of which he still remains director
This school will be continued under
his direction although DR.. de Nlsme
and his family will make their perma-
nent home in Middlebury, where he IS
at present for his fifth year head OF
the French School of the Middlebury
Summer Session.
In 1906 DR.. de Visme married Mile.
Alice Azeline Lucie Olympic de Nisme
and the couple have two children, Rene,
and Eric. DR.. de Visme is member
of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity

GOSS IS BADLY
HURT AT MILL

Nelson A. Goss of Park street, an en-
ployee of the Middlebury plant of the
Vermont Marble Co., lost two fingers
and part of his left hand Wednesday
morning. Mr.. Goss at the time of his
injury was working on the roof OF one
of the buildings, the mills having shut
down for the morning assisting in put
ting up new rope which Spans the
Otter creek and supplies the power
for the plant, and unconsciously rested
his hand for a second on the rail over
which a 20-ton crane was travelling
Almost instantly tEd wheels of the
big crane passed over his hand severing
two of the fingers and a small part OF
the hand He was taken at once to
DR.. S. S. Eddy who rendered first aid.
He was then taken to the company
hospital at Proctor where Dr. William
Stickney of Rutland will operate on
the wound. 1t is expected that the
injury will not prove very dittlcult to
work with as the fingers were cut from
the back of the hand upwards, leaving
a considerable amount Of the palm skin
of the hand to be used in closing the
wound.
Mr.. Goss has worked for the marble
company about twenty years during
which time he has received a number
of slight injuries but none so serious
before. He is a sawyer by trade and
works from 600 a. m. to 600 p. m.
At the time of his injury Goss was not
saving but he had been called with
about fifteen other men to fix the
broken rope. The compensation which
he will obtain from the company is not
known as that is decided at Montpelier
by the State Liability Bureau.
This is the second time in two months
that a man has had his hand injured at
the mill, the first time being when
James Barron had part of three of his
fingers severed 1t is understood that
Barron received about 5000 as compen-

Fine Prospects For Fair

Secretary Frank c, Dyer OF the Ad-
olson County Fair has received many
inquiries and promises regarding eX-
hibits for the fair, especially in the
cattle department and everything looks
like a very large show. The superin-
tendent of Mechanics Hall is sure of a
record breaking exhibit in farm ma
chinerv and the tractor demonstration
scheduled for Wednesday, the second
day, will no doubt attract large crowds.
Also the drawing match for oxen and
draft horses. 1t is expected that H.
R. Lawrence of Brattleboro WI judge
the horse department and Andrew Ell
lot, who has been here several times
before, as Judge in the cattle depart
ment will again act in that capacity.
Miss Bertha R. Howe of Albany, N. Y,
has been engaged as judge in Exhibi-
ton Hall. Miss Howe is an expert in
this line and has judged at some Of the
largest exhibitions in the east.
