An interesting fact about the new
Freshman class at Delaware College is
that il includes a larger proportion of
students in the Agricultural and Engineer
ing courses than any previous class has
numbered. OF the % Freshmen 10 have
entered in the courses indicated Hitherto
the Latin Scientific course has usually in
cluded from 80 to 80 per cent of the stu
dents. The popularity of this course
doubtless is due to the fact that it is
regarded as the easiest pathway to the
change this year is doubtless partly acct
dental, but also in part because OF a wider
acquaintance throughout the State with
what Delaware College has to offer in its
technical courses. There is no desire on
the part of the authorities to make the
College q mere technical school, and for
tunately its endowment is designed to
foster as well instruction in other than
technical branches, but the larger part of
the income is now spent in providing for
the technical courses, and there is still
much room for growth here, az the teach.
ing force and the mechanical equipment
are amply sufficient for considerably larger
classes. Meanwhile the work OF the col
lege in its other courses was never in a
healthier state. There is growing in
terest in language work throughout the
student body, and there seems to be a
hopeful movement among the better equip
ped public schools to prepare students to
meet the proposed higher entrance require
ments in the languages. Another hopeful
sign is the disposition of former students
to return to finish uncompeted courses or
to prosecute graduate work. Although in
such a college the teaching energy must be
| in the main devoted to the instruction Of
| undergraduates, there is the utmost read
mess on the part of the Faculty to find
time for graduate work. The presence OF
graduate students is felt by the faculty to
| be helpful to the tone Of the student body.
Former students and others of mature
years who believe that they may be able to
profit by what the College has to offer in
graduate work will do we'll to address the
president for further information on this
subject.
