Professor Frederick H. Robinson, who
teaches civil engineering at Delaware Col

chief enciaecr OF Wilmington, and when he
an engineer for the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, he always made the most exact
measurements and fractions that would be
discarded by other engineers AS unimport-
ant, would be carried through the calcula-
ton by him in order to secure the exact re-
suit. He shows the same care In teaching,
and this is why Delaware College is now turn
ing out some excellent engineers.
Chief Judge james M,Sherry, of tho Mary

idea Of judges wearing gowns while on the
bench. He expressed his opinion recently

posed to it," asserted Judge McShorry.
The idea is un-American, and am opposed
to apine any English custom. If the state
Bar Association should request it, and the
Legislature require il, | would refuse to
wear a gown, because the legislature has no
more right to say what the Judges shall wear
it has to say that the clerk of the court shall.
part his hair in the middle or shall not be
clerk because he i baIdheaded.
