be mentioned the new combination build

much needed institution in the town and
if managed properly could be made a
profitable Investment, no doubt. The
owner states that all the stores are rented,
Notwithstanding the fact that the building
is Just begun.

vacated by William Wilson has been re-
modelled and a glass front added. 1t is

also be situated in this building. Numer-
streets recently opened.

handsome and commodious building, as

NEWARK, June dissatisfaction has
/ again broken out in Delaware College, and
i Yesterday eliminated in the reception by
| the faculty of II petition from the senior
class expressing discontentat the award OF
| the valedctory address to lady member
of the class. This is the highest honor OF
| the class, and is awarded to the particular
| member receiving the highest marks during
| the entire four years course, and has here
| tofore been vigorously denied students moi
pursuing regularly prescribed COURSE
| Of study. The young lady in question appar
/ emily has not confined herself to regular
course, properly speaking, and it is upon
these grounds that her fellow members
object so strenuously to her acceptance O
the honor. 1t is not known what action thu
faculty will take upon the matter, but it /.
urged by a certain professorthat her studies
/ have been quite equivalent to the rest
thereby establishing her eligibility and thu
regularity of the faculty's action in thu
matter. Il. T. Pilling has positively refusct
| the second hOnor,th salutatory oation,an'
Il serious dissension is anticipated. student
are on the qui vive for developments

that the land grant of $50 900 from tn
United States governmental the college wa
given upon the express condition and ul
Outstanding that the college should renal
forever non-sectarian.
