As a result of the dam- age, and not altogether against the will of the students, compulsory chapel was called off until the end of the semester. In Pearsons dormitory water damage forced the removal of the occupants until the walls and ceilings could be repaired. The Student Union building, in danger' of col- lapse, had to be closed for a week. Fraternity houses were hit, the most ex- treme case being the .Alpha Sigma Psi house which lost its roof. While the college was digging itself out, the town and surrounding area of Middle- bury was in an even more difficult plight.

At the College Snow Bowl damage was confined to a large number of fallen trees fthirty-eight came down over the downhill trailj and to the tow which was put out of commission. College crews, working Sunday and Monday, cleared the debris and repaired the lift. Thursday, classes began and affairs began to approach the normal stage. There was still no electricity in some buildings, the trees were still littering the campus and many students were still out working on the farms. W , ..- i,A,..,K,,.- ., ., ,...,-. ,.
