NEW CHARTER
FOR COLLEGE
Commission Trying to Settle
the Status Of Institution
at Newark
WILL REPORT TO THE
NEW LEGISLATURE

Attorney-General Andrew c. Gray
is working on the draft of new char
ter for Delaware College, which will
be submitted to the Legislature early
next year for enactment This char-
ter is expected to clear up the mooted
question of ownership of Delaware
College, as we'll as the representation
of the state I'm the management Of the
institution.
This subject has been before the
Legislature in various forms for sew
eral yea IS, and the elimination came
at the session two years ago when
Senator Alexander p. Corbit forced
it to the front After sharp debate
bill was passed creating a COM
mission composed Of the Secretary OF
State, Lieutenant-Gove and At
torney-General to inquire into the
status of the college and frame and
report back to the Legislature in 1911
new charter for the institution.
Secretary of State William 7. Smith
ers, Lieutenant Governor John NJ.
Mendinhall and Attorney-Gen An
drew c. Gray have had several confer
ences on the subject, and two public
hearings were held at which adyO-
Gates of State ownership of the col
lege, especially some of the Changers
who were not satisfied with certain
phases of the management, were given
a hearing.
Attorney-General Gray is now
framing the proposed new charter. In
vestigation has shown that the State
does not own more than one-half of
the college, the other half belonging
to the trustees of the old academy
that was the forerunner of the col
lege. Their share cannot be taken
from them without adequate COM
pensation, although the old trustees,
if they were of that mind, could sur
render their right and title in the coll
lege TO the State. thus making It en-
tirely the property of the State.
The question of representation on
the board of trustees of the college
and the apportionment Of trustees be-
tween the State and the old board OF
trustees will be decided by Mr.. Smith
ers, Mr. Gray and Mr. Mendinhall al
a conference in the near future, aE

tions that have arisen IN the draft

the chorus. There are some superb
bassos, and the sopranos are resonant
