The agricultural Club Of Delaware Col
leee held its first meeting oi the term las
Monday evening under the supervision D
President Hill. A brief history Of ths
club was given and the work for the com
ing year was roughly outlined.
The object Of this club is to give The
students information that they do not gel
in the class room and to sccustom them
to speak before 30 audience on agricultur
al subjects. AZ each meeting, three Of
four students will give talks on subjects
that are Of immediate interest. The clnk
will be frequently addressed by some one
OF the professors and occasional debates
will be held. The latter seem to appeal
very strongly to the majority Of the mem
bers ann il il hoped the club will be able
to hold public debate, on current sub
jsct sometime during the winter. Es-
pecial mention was made Of publishing
an agricultural paper. There 10 no farmers
paper published In Delaware and it is
thought that within year or two the
club will be able to edit one Of practical
value to the Delaware farmer.
Despite the fact that there we're but few
members, the club has been in the pat
very Interesting, lively and pro, ,ftable
With membership OF more than double
that Of lsst year, an unusually successful
future is expected.
