The prospects of Delaware College, SO
.AE as the bursBr's cares or solioitude is
concerned have suddenly blossomed out
TO degree which cannot fail of being
the source of extreme qualification to
Delawareans and especially to the alumni
Of the state college. It's visible sources
of revenue may be stated AS follows:
&5, 900 annually from the old land grant;
$4,000 annually (the Hatch addition
and through the bill of this session passed
both houses, Sl5, 900 annually in addi-
ton. This affords total OF S35, 900.
1t should be explained that in regard
to the last item, the provisions of the
appropriation grants Sl5, 900 the first year
lending June Both, 1890 aud an increase
of 81 900 annually until in 10 years the
appropriation amounts to S25, 900, when
it remains at that figure. Thus in 10
years time the State college income from
the source referred to will be $45 900
per annum.
In view of this fact the hope is ex-
pressed from every direction that Della
ware will also moke some commensurate
grant to It's own State college by which
In addition TO g aums already in view
Delaware College may be enabled to place
itself on the high plane OF educational
standing that the leading institution OF
the State is indispuiably entitled to.
W tn the income that its position en-
titles it it to, additional chairs might DO
established aud the necessary higher
collegiate courses of physics and electric
SCIENCE agricultural SCIENCE aud modern
languages won be part OF the regular
curriculum.
With fair grant from the State in
addition TO the income referred to Della
ware might command the services of the
foremost teachers in the United States
Delaware College would then be on par
with Princeton, Columbia, Swarthmore
and other colleges.
1t must be remembered none OF the
funds referred to in the United 5tetss
grant can bs applied to the nes Of new
building. Unfortunately however what
Delaware College needs most Of all is q
new structure. This is the most obvious
y led and the one which the alumni con-
slider, as do also several Of the truatees
the State should build.
In other directions Delaware College
never in all its record saw such prosper
GUS times rs ut present.
