IAN ABOMINABLE BUSINESS. f"
THE GRANTING OF BOGUS DEGREES" A
RIDICULOUS PRETENCE TO LEARNING.
Professor COnOver, Delaware College, De-
nOunces the Job Lot Degree Practice in
Securing Titles For Cash Payment.

The comforting of degrees by institu-
tions of little repute or of no repute at
all in job lot orders on payment of fees,
is arousing considerable interest in
various parts of the country among
educated persons. The faculty of
Delaware College, it may be said, dis
approves of this sort of business and
Professor E. Conover of the faculty
denounces in most scath1ng terms the
practice. Speaking of the matter,
Professor Conover says:
"a considerable agitation has been
started in certain papers lately in re-
gard to the practice, which has been
carried on for several years, but has
now grown to terrible proportions, of
certain so-called colleges and universi-
ties of selling learned degrees. 1 have
been strongly urged to lend hand to
the effect that is being made to arouse
public sentiment against the practice.
Scholars are especially averse to get
ting into a wrangle, and nothing but
a sense of duty would induce me to
take up this matter A few years ago
the medical profession made war on
certain diploma mills that were selling
the degree of NJ. d. and put an end to
them. Since then physicians have
very justly reproached us teachers for
allowing the sale of other learned de-
grees, particularly that of Phi. D., for
which we, as profession, are respon-
sible.
"Old Jacob Gruber, Pennsylvania
German Methodist, was once asked
why it was that the Methodist had no
Doctors of Divinity. His reply was,
Il 'spose it is because that our divinity
is not sick. When our divinity gets
sick then we'll have the DOCTOR If
the old gentleman were living now
am afraid he would think the Metho-
dist divinity has become quite sick.
Elect a man presiding elder and next
June some college will give him d.
D., hoping thus to purchase his in
huence for the college.
Smyrna times., 1900-01-31

away while working for this, the high
est of all university degrees.
The degree of Phi. d. has been con-
ferred in Germany for ages, but was not
introduced into this country until 1860,
when Yale conferred it honorary. For
several years after that our leading
institutions conferred it sparingly, as
an honorary title upon men of we'll
known scholarship, who had added
something to the worlds fund of
knowledge. A few years ago our best
institutions gave up the practice OF
comforting it honorary. Bad as that
practice may have been, the modern
method of the institutions described
above of making certain fimsy re-
quirements and exacting a fee for rev.
enue is infinitely worse.
Smyrna times., 1900-01-31
Delaware College Record.

In the matter of degrees Delaware
College is making a proud record, a
record which she has been compli-
mented by persons in other States
She never confers any honorary A. B.
or A. M. The latter is now conferred
only after a course of graduate study.
She confers no doctors degrees except
rarely that of LII. D., and the last
time this was conferred was in 1896,
when it was bestowed upon our worthy
Chief Justice, Charles B. Lore, whom
we all delight to honor.
In the name of pure scholarship and
sound learning L hope the present ag-
itation against diploma mills may &C
on until they will have to shut down
for repairs or make an assignment, and
those who have received degrees which
they have not merited, may feel justly
ashamed of their plumage.

TRUST MAKER AN OCTUPUS.
The "NOrth American" Shows Up the Della
aware Trust Machine.

Dover, Delaware, is thoroughly agi-
tated over the publication in yester-
days North american, of the remark
able organization known as the Corpo-
ration Trust Company and it's extra
ordinary operation in the manufacture
of corporations. There is a growing
sentiment that the Delaware corpora
tiOn law may be amended, or even en-
tirely repealed, at the next session of
the Legislature.
In particular, members of the bar who
hold no such official position as that of
Mr.. Hughes are loud in their COM
plants that the Office of Secretary of
State should be converted into an
annex to private law practice, to the
detriment of the bar at large.
They declare that his connection
with the Corporation Trust Company
of Delaware gives that concern an
undue advantage over lawyers in pri-
ate practice.
They declare, moreover, that the
Corporation Trust Company is barter
ing the sovereign power of Delaware,
Offering it for sale in the marts of
trade, and increasing the temptation to
fraudulent and mythical organizations
having no legitimate purpose.
Some conception of the extent
of the Corporation Trust Com
pany's business may be gathered from
the fact that the law was approved on
March 10, 1898, and that the fees re-
ceived by the State up to Jan. 1st of
the present year, were $4,000. OF
the total number of interpretations in
the months of March, April, May, June
July and August, 1899, the great ma
jOrity were organized by the trust.
The report of the Secretary of State
shows a total of 1S9 interpretations up
to the end of August. OF these III
were formed by the Corporation Trust
Company.
OF thirty-five companies organized
in September, the Corporation Trust
Company is the representative of
twenty of them.
In October it assisted at the birth of
twenty other concerns, out of a total of
forty-One.
In November sprinkling of lawyers
and companies in other parts of the
State had the temerity to file a number
of certificates, so that the Corporation
Trust had to be content with seventeen
out of total of of thirty-seven.
In December it scored fifteen out of
total of thirty-seven.
Discussions are already threatened
in connection with the disposition of
the money received by the State for
these fees. Delaware has no standing
debt, and the sum already realized
would more than pay its floating debt.
But the politicians throughout Kent
and Sussex, and perhaps even in New
Castle and Sussex, and perhaps even
In ways and means by which this money
and any other that may be received
from similir sources, may be expended
in salaries for offices to be created. -
