Tw 0 'Patriarchs"

The jest which someone has made
to the effect that our colleges are
getting rich by degrees had no appA-
cation to the honors which were be-
slowed at MIddlebury this week Al
though we have made no reference 70
Dunn, there is no surface indication
that mere money wealth is represented
among any Of the recipients Of doc
,o-ates. Most Of all IS this true in the
case Of the professor emeritus Of chem
istrv. now Dr. McG;ton. But he is a
rich man in every other sense OF the
word for he is held in high regard and
affection by all who have been his stu
dents during the past % years and
bv the villagers among whom he has
moved in the most cordial and demo
cratic way. The tribute he received
as well deserved as it was, should sus-
tain him in what must be to him the
sometimes rksome role ul retirement
from active service, and there IS no
reason that he should deny himself the
hope Of still being OF great service to
the college The younger fellows need
to have a few "patriarchs' such as
Professors Wright and NJ Clifton
arc und, both good mixers, and it is
fortunate that they elect to remain
with us. We have it from Dorothy
Garfield Fisher that her mental picture
of Prof. Wright was that Of man car
rying a flowing white beard and a
cane! She was disappointed 70 find
hin rather full of face clean shaven,
bro med and blithe These novelists
surely do have a rampant imagination.

1t IS, or at least recently was a Gus
tom Of the London papers to leave a
vacant space Of from SIX TO ten inches
in their first editions into which last
minute occurrences could be briefly in
serted This department was headed

1a1ly it was the custom Of the
late Mr.. Battell to stop The Reg
lister press in the midst Of the Fridays
run in order to insert "ore more au-
tomobile accident Every reader re-
calls Nh Battelps Chamber Of Hor-
Jors' made up not only Of local acct
dents which were then comparatively
rare, but by the culhng Of auto acci-
dent news from all quarters Of the
country. 1t was no rare thing 70 hear
the private telephone line from Bread
Loaf Inn give its call OF a Friday
afternoon, and while the presses waited
Mr. Battell would read of the account
a some hair-raising auto smash in the
Grand Canyon or elsewhere With the
frequency that accidents now continue
to happen right around Middlebury, he
would be kept busy with home indus
try in this regard. There is no lesson
in II at all. If we put SO light a value
On bie as to run desperate chances,
we must lightly consider the conse-
quences. But for all that the commun-
ity does not lack the sinoerest sympa-
thy for those who eventually pay the
price Of folly.

The Daughters of Ephraim?

The school meeting next Thursday
evening will afford the mothers of Mid
dlebury school children an opportunity
TO decide, or at least to discuss, wheth-
er they are getting all that they may
reasonably expect in the matter OF san

general safeguards from fire or disease

getting what they want, it IS time
for some of the present members on the

Tn Heir Apparent

An interesting sidelght on the High
School graduation exercises IS the fact
that when the diploma was handed to
clifton Calhoun, son Of Postmaster
Allan Calhoun, it marked "the end Of
the Calhoun dynasty In other words,
it concluded a period OF 80 years dur
ing which there has been an unbroken
line Of members Of the Calhoun family
in the Middlebury public schools At
one time. there were as many as thir-
tee representatives Of the family in
the high and graded schools. Il was
Postmaster Calhoun himself who start
ed the line 80 years ago, and though
his brothers have contributed 10 the
record, it is his son Clifton who con-
cludes the period. On the night Of the
latter's graduation it appeared that it
was a full stop, but it is merely a semi

The Fountain Again-Thanks

1t is related Of an editorial friend in
Maine that prior 10 an election he an
nounced his purpose to ruthlessly at
tack certain candidates, but on the day
Of judgment he came forth with a
leading editorial highly extolling them.
It appears that On the eve Of the
campaign he was approached by said
candidates: and ne aite-ward frankly
admitted in his own defense that "a
mans opinions change as hi interests
appear Our relations with the trus-
tees are being "cemented' quite firm
" at last, for the new side walk on
South street is growing apace. And
then refreshing notice IS also taken
that the village fountain, at the corner
Of Main street and Merchants Row,
has been redecorated and repiped so
that the bird that surmounts it and
which has been bone dry ever since we
can remember, once more sends forth
its liquid" notes. The women OF the
Century Club who, we understand,
originally donated this fountain, must
rejoice that it IS again in use. Have

dren at play there, or noticed the rain

Watchful Waiting

During the war il was said, we be-
lleve on the authority Of President
Butler Of Columbia University, that no
less than thirteen American UNIVERSE
ties or colleges were seeking presi-
dent While some Of these vacancies
have since been filed, notably by the
transfer Of DR.. Angel from Chicago to
Yale, and the choice Of the renowned
soldier General Leonard Wood a. the
University Of Pennsylvania, and, third
ly, by the removal Of DR. Thomas from
Middlebury to Pennsylvania State
College, there are still some Of the
major institutions, like Cornell and
Middlebu-y Coi course still in the
market for a head
That il is not an easy matter to pick
man may be imagined, and notwith'
standing disappointment that there IS
no real news to report on the Middle
bury situation at this time the pub
lie will approve Of the care and de-
Liberation which the trustees apparent
~ are giving 10 the matter II is I'M
derstood that in view Of the doubt as
to when the choice would be finally
made, the trustees have little more
clearly defined the status Of Acting
President Collins Up to this time he
had been serving under Z certain IN
formal arrangement, but by vote Of
the trustees il is understood be has
been given formal title as the Acting
President and allowed more freedom CT
action. This also will meet with very
general approval, for Dr. Collins has
ably handled the situations that have
confronted him and 50 long as he holds
the Office he may be relied upon to
carry Middlebury forward along the
successful lines laid down largely dur
ing DR.. Thomas administrator

A Lucky Thirteen Years

1t took Penn State three years TO
find its man, IN Dr. Thomas There
are many Of US who wish il had taken
them still longer 1t has been sug-
gested by some Of Dr. Thomas friends
that this issue Of The Register would
be an appropriate occasion for a com
prehensive rev ew' Of his work a. Mil
dlebury 1t al depends upon how one
interprets that adjective, but frankly
the task, as we conceive how it should
be done, is beyond US at the moment
Ii can, however, be recalled that at
the time Of his resignation, the board
Of trustees attempted to uccncrly
sum up his work; and by some mad
vertence unknown to US we belize. the
set Of resolutions then passed failed Of
publication in any quarter except by
The College Campus 1t follows:
For thirteen wears Dr. Thomas has
given himself without stint e. the
building up Of the College in all de-
partments and with a success not par
alleled in the entire l20 years Of rs
history He found thirteen years
age at Midd.ebu1y, 203 students a

thirty-acre campus, and al valued at

lege endowment has risen 10 SA3"Hj29,
or more than fourfold while the tut
ton from the student body tn, year
VIII exceed $4,000, an increase Of near
~ fifty fold
Or Thomas zeal for interna. ex-
rausion has not consumed al OF MS
restless energy, for he has made his
influence felt no uncertain way upon
the educational and moral lie OF Yer
mont. a, wei as upon the much wider
circles in which he has moved. Mid

Of President Thomas, n new and
peculiar sense has been put upon the
educational map Of New England and
has gained WIDE and enviable recogni-
ton as an institution Of sound learn
ing, clean morals and worthy deals.
We bow to the inevitable and release
him, with the greatest reluctance. to
a wider field Of action
The affection in which Dr. Thomas
is held by the students was shown by

diplomas, and we understand that this

Scriptural Stimulant

The baccalaureate address was an in
terpretation by Dr. Thomas of "The
God Who Goes Before A virile
theme fitting to the speaker and to
the Middlebury men and women about
to graduate, which will inspire them
to seek in scripture not consolation in
their weakness but stimulus to high
endeavor In the exodus Of the Israel
ties out OF their bondage in Egypt,
the Lord God kept His place at the
head of the column, said Thomas,
"Hit function was not that OF hospi-
tai corps" There is no mistaking that
God is generally pictured today as less
of task-master than in olden times,
and this may be all wrong. There are
numerous stray lines in the gospel
hymns which, from our earliest &C
quaintance with them, we have regard
ed as more demoralizing than upliit-
ing, in that they invite weakness,
evade personal responsibility and put
it all up to God in a way that we can
not characterize better than by the IN
elegant slang phrase, passing the
buck
Our own conception is that God in
the relations with His children is
mainly human. Most human attn
butts, even to that Of wrath and j.al-
ousy, are scripturally assigned to Him
He moves in the naturally human al
mosphere Of love and broadmndness;
He is humanity ambitious to lead, and
that ambition is most naturally to lead
to great and good things But since
there are so many OF US who stumble
in His train, 50 many who fall in sight
Of the goal He has revealed to us, 1t
IS the saving grace of His Divinity
that He is a God of unlimited compass
sion almost. Anyhow, we have thought
it fortunate that when unable to keep
full pace with His leadership we have
still found Him coming back to give
us lift The benign comfort He al
fords to the afflicted in all turns Of
life is unquestionably greater sup
port to the divine conception Of God
than any amount Of fear, CT Of awe
and reverence Of Him as a general
issino.
