| Years have passed since we left the
classlc halls OF old Delaware College,"
yet during these years, whenever we
come In sight Of Newark l IL tie days
gone called the Athens OF Dela@ai,,),
"reminiscences come yelling up, while
memory, like weird sister, stands by

glad to see its demands MS to its stand

not only be enforced rigldly, but ee-
waited, In order to make IL more invit'

inexperienced youth, in his desire TO
have his name registered in college,
IN preference TO having 1t in pre-

but does not Increase capacity OF

But what excuse shall we make for

A heavy fall OF rain descended upon
Wilmingtonlans yesterday afternoon
almost without a moments warning.
1t was the heaviest rain for o given
time that Wilmington has experienced
this summer. and while IL fell few
Chaps OF thunder shook the earth and
flashes of lightning leaped from the
banked black clouds. The rain only
continued 90 minutes. but that was
long enough to drench street car pas
sengers who sought shelter In tho
open cars.
Orange and Poplar streets were again
Hooded. The Orange street Hood was
caused by the repairs TO the sewer on
that thoroughfare. while the Poplar
street sewer was not large enough to
carry off the heavy flow.
After tho storm cool wind set In,
which made heavy outer garments a
comfort. The cool wave was still
present all day, and the Philadelphia
ltecori thinks 1t will remain. 1t speaks
thus:

nate as to possess heavy uyercoats.
