You seem a bit confused so I'll help you a bit.

Middlebury has a larger endowment than Colby
Middlebury has less debt than Colby
Middlebury draws from there endowment at a lower rate than Colby (they could close their deficit simply by raising their draw rate to Colby's)
Middlebury has raised their fees at a rate below average among the NESCACs for years.
Middlebury has fixed the root causes of their deficit while Colby has run a deficit for the last three years running.

Neither school has any significant financial issues but Middlebury is without question in stronger financial shape.

If you want to look at an example of an extremely well run NESCAC look at Hamilton.
Endowment about the same size as Colby supporting a smaller student body
Outstanding budget discipline typically a $5-$10M surplus
Outstanding endowment discipline with a low draw rate
Low debt (roughly half of Colby's)

Overall excellent financial management.
