At the morning session, which last
ed until two o'clock, a resolution was
adopted reducing the salary of the
professor of ancient and modern Ian
guages from IL, $50 to 81, 900 year.
The resolution also recommended that
these branches he taught by instruc-
tors, if satisfactory arrangements
| could be made.
1t is significant that the chair OF
ancient and modern languages is occu
| pied bv Professor Eugene w. Man.
ming, and that Professor Manning
has been the prime advocate OF the
movement to have Delaware College
re.established in Wilmington.
He had been intensely interested
! in this project, and has sought to
enlist influential and wealthy Will
mingtonians in behalf OF the enter
prise, but thus far has failed to bring
any practical results.
| 1t is generellv believed THAT th'
action reducing the salary, Of Proles
sor Manning is to oust him from thu
faculty. He was not reelected for the
coming college year, and a member
of the board of trustees this after
noon said that the action to-da.
practically abolishes the chair occupi
ed by Professor Manning.
| Professor Manning, 1T is expected
will submit his resignation when Off
cialy informed of to-day's action b!
the trustees. 1t is noteworthy thai
the trustees are firmly op posed tt
any plan that will transfer Delaware
College from Newark to Wilmington
and If possible to punish those wh'
advocate such plan.

trical engineering, and Professor II
w, Brown waselected as his assistant
This action has thoroughly arouset
the boys, VINO are antagOnistic t

The boys hoped that Professor Brow
might retire at the close Of this year
in the face OF the feeling agains
him.
