REINCoRPoRATING DELAWARE COLLEGE

Il
President Raub of Delaware College.
Judge Houston, and Manlove HAYES.
Esq, addressed the members at a sort
OF Informal meeting in the hall of the
House. President Raub explained
that the reincOrpOratiou act now asked
for by Delaware College relates to the
college alone, and has nothing what
ever to do with the Agricultural Ex-
perimental Station as such. The new
charter is asked for now in order that
students may be guaranteed a four
years course and their degrees"
The college itself, DR.. Raub believed.
had bright future before it.
In speaking of the experimental sta
ton the doctor stated that though the
laboratory and headquarters would be
at Newark the outside work or tests
would to large extent be carried on
IN Kent and Sussex counties. At
present seeds were being purchased at
different localities in the two lower
counties, and these We're to be tested
at Newark, in order to ascertain
whether the large seed dealers were
furnishing the local dealers with fresh
or stale seeds. Nearly ali the tests of
small fruits and vegetables will be
made in Kent and Sussex in the spring.
The existence or location Of the ex-
pertinent station does not depend, as
DIR. Raub explained, on an act of rein
corporation. This feature was created
by the Legislature and remains perpet-
ual until repealed or changed by an
act of the Legislature. Judge Houston
who followed DR.. Raub, made an ear
nest appeal for the college. Manlove
Hayes devoted his address to the agri-
cultural features of the institution.
He had great faith in the staff having
the station in charge. Director Neale
will address the members sometime
during the February month on the
best plans to be adopted to make the
experiment station success.
