'Governor Mead contributed most of the funds supporting the initial construction of the chapel, but he did not provide funds for its indefinite maintenance, and Middlebury has determined that the time has come to change the name.'

“Governor Mead contributed most of the funds supporting the initial construction of the chapel, but he did not provide funds for its indefinite maintenance, and Middlebury has determined that the time has come to change the name.”A Vermont Superior Court has sided with Middlebury College in a case challenging the de-naming of its historic Mead Memorial Chapel, now known as “Middlebury Chapel.

He sees Middlebury’s decision to erase the Mead family name as part of a bigger struggle over freedom of expression on the Middlebury campus. In the court case, Douglas argued that Middlebury’s decision to de-name the chapel breached a contract between Governor Mead and Middlebury. But the school claimed the transaction between the two parties was a gift rather than a contract, and it was not obligated to keep the name on the chapel as a condition of that gift.

In these circumstances, the court concludes that the reasonable duration of any contractual term as to the name of the chapel has been satisfied as a matter of law.
