The proposition advocated by David
j. Murphey IN tho board of trustees Of
Delaware College, to secure the acad-
emy AZ dormitory, &C., for female
department for tho college, is not fa-
vorably received by many of the acad-
emy trustees. Some of them, however,
favor turning the academy into pre-
paratory school for the college under
college management Tho academy
was at one time under tho control of
tho college but was turned over to the
original board Of trustees again when
the college was temporarily closed.
Tho academy ia much hampered for
want Of funds and it is likely some now
arrangement will be made.
