26 THE ARIEL of the late Senator Morrill of this state, who did so much for Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges throughout the United States. We certainly should congratulate ourselves upon acquiring an athletic field. It is something Vermont has needed for some time, and we are glad that circumstances have made it possible for us to start the new century with that fine level tract over toward Winooski in our possession. It is the only suitable place anywhere near the college, and we are extremely fortunate in securing it. Of athletics and the various social affairs, mention should be made, but, as more will be said of these branches of college activities in the latter part of this volume, I will leave them to be recorded by other scribes. And now for the future. May Vermont have another cen- tury of life and growth, far surpassing the successes and achieve- ments of the era just completed. May her Alumni prove loyal to her, and help bring an era of prosperity to their Alma Mater. Oh queenly daughter of Vern'1ont's fair hills l The joy and pride of our Green Mountain stateg Through every loyal heart your glory thrillsg Our sweetest songs to thee we consecrate. Thou goddess of the lake I without a peer, Dost reign o'er all supreme :--a sovereign queen g And as you grow in rev'rence year by yearg May virtue's golden lamp still brighter gleam.

Our several departments are all in a prosperous condition. Never before did we have as many students in the Academical department as now. In medicine, too, there is a gain of ten per cent over last year's entering class. The new Medical College is well on toward completion, and makes a much valued .addition to the college buildings. Then, too, at the last session of the Vermont Legislature we were promised sixty thousand dollars for a new agricultural building, to be known as Morrill Hall, in honor
