President Moody declared in his inaug

| practical education, but the training Of
the mind to the right uses of these
things. In discussing the policy of the
college, President Moody said it would
be Middebury's aim TO grow in quality
rather than in quantity, and that to
this end the number of students wouId
be restricted next year to keep the col
lege within the confines of normal
growth, which will be an increase IL
relatively 10 per cent.

would be gradually extended to cont,
plete separation OF the women's college

opportunities which they can never
have under the existing system"
Calling attention to Middlebury's
modern language schools, which have
attained national reputation, President
Moody said: 'sThere are many sub
jects legitimate for college which we
must deliberately exclude from our cur
though we know that manv
would like them. We win do only what
we can do we'll Some things we are
ambitious enough to try to do a. we'll
as II is humanity possible to do them
