1t is always good news to learn that
a man who goes into college athletics
Fundamentally aud spiritedly is also
a man who does not neglect the things
laid down in the curriculum OF the in
stitution. Therefore, it is reassuring
to be informed that the captain OF the
recent football team of Middlebury
college and a man who has participated
rather generally in athletics of all
kinds. besides being prominent in near
" every branch of college activity, has
been chosen as Rhodes scholar from
Vermont and will, therefore, have the
privilege of attending Oxford univer-
sity in England, with expenses partial.
" paid. A man who is capable OF
doing high work in college subjects
while performing in athletics is not so
very rare but the man who really does
high work in college subjects and yet
is successful in athletic endeavor is
somewhat unusual. Ex-Capt. Gollnick
of the varsity football team is entitled
to classification among the latter

WE HAVE THE GOODS

The Christmas shopping spirit seems
early in the air this year, and local
merchants for the most part report un-
usually brisk buying in holiday mer-
chandise Doubtless the early touch of
winter that the recent fall of snow
and the few days of sleighing gave, had
something to do with the quick little
punch put into the Christmas trading,
But the real reason is more likely due
to preparedness on the part OF local
merchants, and their enterprise in start
ing their holiday advertising in sea-
son.
Already the Middlebury shops have
that true holiday appearance, and the
displays in the stores are complete and
Of a high order. One need not want
for gift selections if he but makes a
tour Of the local stores. He will find
what he wants at a price to fit any
purse. There is no excuse for not
shopping early" in Middlebury this
year. 1--WE have the goods"

MIDDLEBURY's SUCCESS

A statement by President Moody OF
Middlebury College that his institution
is not college primarily Tor athletics
may serve to check line Of thought
in the minds Of some people about
co leges in general, that line of thought
having been formed through reading
column after column OF football re-
ports and predictions in the daily news
papers of the country. Those who
know Midd.ebury College or who are
at all acquainted with its traditions did
not need to be told that athletics ho.d
secondary position in that institu-
ton, for they know that Middlebury
was designed to give an education and
is still loyal to its trust in that par
ticular.-Barre Times
Scholarship is indeed OF primary i'm
portance in the function.ng OF Middle
bury College, and in this respect the
institution ranks even higher in circles
outside the state than we believe most
of us realize. Its position in the field
of academic standing is an enviable
one, and the gratifying feature is that
it is growing more euviable as the years
go by.
While athletics occupy the proper
secondary position that they should,
it is noticeable that college sport and
a fixed and high standard Of scholar
ship are most happily combined in
Middlebury. Always keeping in mind
that gridiron and diamond prestige
is not the prime requisite for a first
class college. good, wholesome, spirited
athletics are developed in a surprising
ly successful degree.
Perhaps no better illustration OF the
successful combination OF athletic and
scholastic standing, which in big way
illustrates what is emphasized general
ly in Middlebury, can be cited than the
case of Albert Gollnick, the all-around
star on the athletic field and in the
class room, recently selected as Rhodes
scholar. Gollnick shows quite convinc-
ingly that the two can be combined,
He captained this year the hard-fight-
ing football team, whose record excited
such favorable comment from the me-
tropohtan press, and at the same time,
he has kept uppermost in his thoughts
the main object which brought him to
the historic halls Of Middlebury.
1t is indeed quite rarely that a foot
bah star can attain such success in his
academic endeavors. Gollnick is to be
congratulated and the College must
feel highly honored in having the all
around development emphasized so
completely as it is in this young man.

The announcement of Frank C..
Archibald that he will be a candidate
for another term as attorney general
is being well received generally by the
state press. The Bennington Banner,
recognizing Archibald's faithful per
formance in Office, says that it does not
seem probable that there will be any
candidate in the field against him.
On the other hand the BrattleborO
Reformer is confident that there may
be an effort on the part OF Chronic
Office seekers" to wrest the Office from
the present incumbent. Discounting
the fact that another term would mean
the breaking of a precedent in Yer
mont, the selection OF Mr., Archibald
would be wise move on the part of
the voters of the state. Faithful to
the performance Of his duties, ener-
getic and untiring, MI Archibald is in
every way qualified by virtue OF his
training and abilities to again succeed
himself. In prosecuting the states
cases he has been not only aggressive,
but absolutely fearless, even in the face
of widespread public criticism. He has
seen the path of duty and has taken
that path invariably Such a man as
that renders real service to his COM
monwealth.

Simultaneous with concerted efforts
of the American Legion in Vermont to
care for the poor unfortunates who
have been mentally affected by wars
injuries and horrors, comes the shock
ing reminder of the poison OF battle
left in mems souls, illustrated by the
suicide of Col. Whittlesey, leader of
the famous lost battalion" A case
which has received the attention Of
the Legion in Vermont has recently
come to light in Addison county. and
despite the efforts from certain sources
to discredit the fact that war had left
its Gripping trace, records obtained by
Legion medical officials, show conclu-
sively that the case in point is one call
ing for sympathetic and human atten-
ton.
1t has been rightfully asked that if
highly educated and well provided
for veteran like Whittlesey surrenders,
what may we not fear for thousands of
discouraged, broken-down and desti-
tute men; 1t is gratifying that the

pioneer position in watching over
warped and mentally affected eX-service
men, and it is more gratifying still

The sensational agreement on the

for the future Ii was thought that
the efforts OF the conference were to
end in utter failure, and negotiations

The proposals which formed the
basis for peaceful settlement and

of allegiance TO the empire by the
Sim Fein.

a veritable shower OF sparks. Further
festivities included the twitChy contor-

The humble subjects, perhaps imagi-
ming the Royal Prince a tri6e home

their best to cheer him up by singing

hymn was beautifully rendered on the
