Middlebury College is a coeducatiOnal, ltberal arts mst1tut10n .m a typiCal. Vermont village. The local campus· contains about 250 acre~ w1th coloma! ~tyle butldH~gs of native Vermont limestone and marble. The mountam campus, a umque possessiOn of Middlebury, is located 12 miles to the East and contains 10,000 acres, the college Snow Bowl, and some of the higher Green Mountain peaks. A miller, two lawyers, a doctor and a president of Yale College conceived the first plan for Middlebury College on the night of Sept. 30, 1798. A charter was granted Nov. 1, 1800, and seven students were admitted the following day. Middlebury grad· uated its first student in 1802. It was not until 1883 that women were admitted. Today Middlebury has 1200 students in its regular session, 700 men and .500 women. Middlebury believes that the function of a liberal arts college is to produce young men and women who will become responsible citizens and intellectual leaders in their communities. Middlebury's aim is to prepare student~ for living as well as for a liveli hood. It has no technical, professional., or industrial schools, and does not encourage the enrollment of students who are interested solely in vocational education. The departments of instruction at Middlebury are organized in five 'main divisions: Humanities, Foreign Languages, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Military Sci ence and Tactics. There are about ninety faculty members, and the college grants the Bachelor of Arts degree, the Master of Arts and Master of Science degrees, and the Doctor of Modern Languages degree. In addition to the regular college, Middlebury has its renowned Summer Schools of French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish. In session at the mountain campus during the summer are the Bread Loaf School of English and the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference. Middlebury also maintains a Graduate School of French in Paris, and a Graduate School of Spanish in Madrid. Middlebury's Phi Beta Kappa chapter was chartered in 1868. Other campus honor societies include Mortar Board, Waubanakee, Blue Key, and M Club. The nine national fraternities are Alpha Sigma Psi, Alpha Tau Omega, Chi Psi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Delta Upsilon, Kappa Delta Rho, Phi Kappa Tau, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Theta Chi. The N.P.C. sororities are Alpha Xi Delta, Delta Delta Delta, Kappa Delta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Phi Mu, Pi Beta Phi, and Sigma Kappa.

Soronttes do not have their own houses, but hold meetings in special quarters. · Now in its 153rd year of providing higher education for qualified students, Middle bury Co!lege stnves t~ 1m part to 1ts students an enduring zest for intellectual tasks; a firm deme .to be 1~telltge~t and honest i.n the evaluation of themselves, of other people ~nd of ph1losof'h1es of ltfe; a realtzatwn of the dignity of the individual; and the trnp?rtance of Jealously guarding their liberty and freedom. Middlebury College is dediCated to the task of preserving a cultural heritage based on such unchanging values.
