TO SETTLE STATUS
OF STATE COLLEGE
Commissioners to Take UP the
Delaware College Charter
Subject Tomorrow

Lieutenant Governor John NJ. Men
dinhan Secretary Of state William t.
Smithers and Attorney General An
drew c. Gray being the commission
appointed by the last Legislature to in
vestigate the status of Delaware Col
lege and report on a charter therefor
will hold a public meeting In the
Office OF Attorney General Gray IN the
dupont Building here AZ II O'Clock to-
morrow.
They hope that the meeting win be
largely attended By those who are in
terestod I'm the college as they desire
to get complete information as 10 the
present conditions.
The committee will welcome all sug-
gestions which may be made. The
status Of the college including the
States share I'm IL and how far the
state can claim ownership to the in
stitution. will be among the questions
to be determined by the commission.
AT the last session Of the Legisla-
ture the long standing dispute over
the status and ownership of Delaware
College came TO a crisis when an at
tempt was made TO renew perpetu-
ally the charter of the college which
had expired. Senator Alexander p.
Corbit, in behalf of the Grange and
other interests which claimed the
States right to the college was not
set forth adequately I'm the proposed
charter opposed the granting of a
perpetual charter 10 the college until
the subject of state ownership or
States rights in the institution could
be investigated.
After a spirited discussion Senator
Corbits plan was adopted extending
the charter for two years. and pro-
viding for the commissioners 20 in
vestigate the status and report a re-
commentator for a charter at the
next session Of the Legislature.
While Delaware College is maintained
mostly by Federal appropriations, the
buildings have been erected with funds
provided by the State. A question OF
whether the trustees Of the old college
or academy before It became a state
College retain title TO the property is
involved.
