Fund For College Athletics

At the Middlebury Alumni dinner
last Friday evening at the University
Club of New York great enthusiasm
was stirred by speech of Mr. A. Bar
ton Hepburn in which he suggested a
Substantial fund for the encourage
ment of major sports, football and
baseball. He said Mddlebury had
every advantage for a much larger at
tendance of men and needed to be put
"on the map" through winning teams.
The best coaches and instructors should
be secured for football and baseball.
He did not believe that basketball and
track were worth the effort for adver-
tisement of the college. Money was nee
essary and it should be spent under
the direction of men in real sympathy
with the students in their sports. Sug-
gestions were called for as to how this
could best be done No amount was
named, but those who heard Mr. Hep
burn were convinced that Middle
bury athletics were in for real boost.

Yellow Fever Mastered.

Reports from Ecuador indicate that
Doctor NOguchl, the famous Japanese
scientist, who is at present in that
country. has isolated. the bacillus
which causes yellow fever, and has
prepared an anti-serum comforting i'm
munity on those exposed to the disease.
The discovery is being tried out on
Ecuadorau troops In the fevery In
terlor.
The conquest of yellow fever is one
of the important achievements. In the
Canal zone the first steps were taken;
the fever was banlshed by sanitation.
But proper sanitation is an extensive
process and Is impracticable in sparse
ly settled regions. So Doctor No
guchi's discovery comes to give a need
full coup de grace to the old villO'
yellow fever.
