COMMENCEMENT WEEK AT DELAWARE.
Preparation Being Made to Give an Inter.
esting Program at Delaware College.

estiug Program at Delaware College.
Commencement week at Delaware
College opens on Sunday, June 16, on
the evening of which day the Rev. HUI
bert W. Wells, rector of st. Andrews,
Wilmington, will deliver the baccalau-
reate sermon in the College Oratory.
On the morning of the same day SER
mon will be preached before the Young
Mems Christian Association of the Col
lege.
The usual class day exercises, which
of recent years have become very popu-
lar, will be held at three o'clock on
Monday, the 18th, and on the evening
ing of that day occurs the defamation
contest, in which three prizes are of
fered. The Board of Trustees meets
on Tuesday morning, and at night is
celebrated the anniversary of the
Athen@an Literary Society.
Commencement Day proper falls on
Wednesday, the 10th. There will be
the usual addresses by a number of the
new graduates, the comforting of de-
grees, the presentation OF prizes, and
an adress by the Hon. James Penne-
will. Luncheon to visitors will be
served in the Library at the close of
the exercises, and then will occur the
reunion of the classes of 1885, '86, '87,
'SS, and '89. All former students be-
longing to those classes, whether grad
yates or not, are invited to this reun-
ION, and such as are so fortunate as to
be married are invited to bring their
wives or husbands. The Alumni Asso-
citation meets at 2.30 P. NJ, and at 8 P.
NJ. occurs the exhibition drill of the
Delaware College Cadets, always an
interesting display. At night occurs
the anniversary of the Delta Phi Lit
erary Society, to be followed by the
commencement dance, admittance to
which, as last year, will be restricted
to those holding cards.
Entrance examinations will be held
at Newark on Friday and Saturday,
June 21st and 22nd, and on the same
days at Wilmington, Middletown,
Smyrna, Dover, Milford, Georgetown,
Seaford, Laurel and Lewes. Candi-
dates for entrance shall notify the Pres
ident or Secretary that they mean to
present themselves at those places. In
response to widely circulated docu-
ments touching the College and what
it has to offer, an unusual number of
inquiries have been received during
the past year from prospective candi-
dates for admissisn in various parts of
Delaware and the Eastern Shore of
Maryland.
New rules, decided to raise the stan
dard of schOlarhip within the various
classes have recently been put iuto ef-
feet. 1t is intended that these rules
shall be so administered as to insure
the prompt Withdrawal OF pupils who
are persistently idle One wholesale
provision of the new rules will prevent
a student who has fallen below the re-
quired average in recitation work for
any term retrieving himeslf by a mere
examining process in preparation for
examination.
The prospect is that the improve
ments to be made at the College dur
ing the summer vacation will render
the dormitories, the recitation rooms
and the laboratories of the old building,
known as the DOrmitory, much more
attractive, comfortable and convenient
and will give beauty and dignity to
the exterior of the building.
