Barton Hepburn had a very far sighted conception when he refused to give a marble Hepburn Hall. It was the first permanent Middlebury structure to be made of anything but marble. He had, perhaps, a subtle thought that youth should not all be entertained, beyond comfort and necessity. Hepburn is an ideal dormitory. If includes the essential comforts, is convenient in every...
