BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP)–Denton Taylor, 18 of Short Hills, a freshman at Dartmouth College, who fell 100 feet yesterday from a rocky cliff near the summit of Camel's Hump, Vermont's second highest mountain, died at the Mary Fletcher Hospital here today.

In company of five other students he had spent Saturday night at the home of Professor W.P. Munroe at North Duxbury, at the base of the mountain.

The party started the climb Sunday morning and while rounding the nose of the peak, Taylor became dizzy and dropped over the face of the cliff.

His companions, working in two shifts, required three hours to bring him to the base of the peak where Dr. H.D. Hopkins of Waterbury attended to his multiple injuries and rushed him to this city.

He did not regain consciousness. At the hospital it was said that had he lived he would have been totally blind.
