In this distribution no one has been
favored more than another. AS re-
quests for stock are received they are
paced on file and as stock becomes
available it is distributed to those on
the waiting list in order OF applica-
ton. This plan has been approved by
the trustees and was freely stated to
the members OF the last Legislature
without their objection.
Why doesn't the State require some
business, as well as teaching organi-
zation to run its college?
The State has its iull quota OF rep
resentatives on the Board ACCORDING
to the original contract. And in these
is vested the power TO act accoi ding
to their judgment.
The term "Old Board" and State
Beard are confusing ones. In point
OF fact there is but one Board, and
the State has equal representation

College at Newark shall be full and
complete voucher for such payment
of the State Treasurer" that the State
had SO much confidence in the Board of
Trustees that no accounting was de-
sired
The act making the appropriation
for the college farm stipulated that
the ''income to be desired from said
farm shall be applied bv the said Board
of Trustees to the maintenance Of
said ,srm, and the buildings and
fences thereon and for the instruction
in agriculture and in conducting in
vestigation III original researches lin
agricultural science).
Another source Oh revenue that the
college has is from students fees
which are used in part for mainten-
ance OF the college laboratories and
| the incdentals that cannot be paid for
from the Federal funds.
The original land grant yields less
| than $1,000 which supports two de-
| partments Greek and ATTN and the
Modern languages and helps to heat
and light AMI furnish water for the
bu ldings. In view OF these facts the
| insinuatiQn that the college is not
/ managed properly hardly seems war
ranted
| Do the trustees have a rule prevent
ing professor in the college from
holding any other position?
! If they do, how is it possible that
the minister in the Newark Presbyter-
ian Church holds job at the col
lege as a full proyessor2
And if they don't, it is not highly
improper to mix any denomination in
the affairs of the college?
! Is it not true that large majority
of the board are Presbyterian, and in
view OF this isn't the above instance
full OF meaning'
The Trustees have no definite arb :
trary rule preventing professor
from holding any other position Fact
case of the kind would be decided up
on its merits.
In the case of the Professor OF Rhe-
toric and Orstory the college pays
him less than half full professors
salary and in consequence does not
| demand all his time.
The Trustees do not have rule
| requiring students to attend chapel,
AMI the above professor has been de-
! tailed II addition to his other duties
to conduct chapel services. So long
as chapel is required by a trustee
regulation it is necessary that some
one be in charge of it and it is nat
ural that a minister should be APP
pointed, especially as he is member
of the faculty, even if he should be a
Presbyterian. BIS
We do not know if majority OF the
trustees are Presbyterians or not. but
as long as the Board is undenomina-
tional in its acts it does not make any
difference if it is. It is much better
to have a majority of the Board idcpti-
fed with some church than none at all
Is there a committee of Trustees to
authorize expenditures before they are
made?

DELAWARE COLLEGE
Some Questions Appearing In The
Evening Journal Answered

Given below are some OF the ques-
tons and answers concerning Deia-
ware College. The questions appear
ed in the Evening Journal last week
L he answers here given represent
what is bel eyed to be the view of one,
unprecedented and wishing only for
the College welfare Many Of the
questions show Jack Of information
of the subject in hanl. These were
gwen to the POST as representing
the view OF one acquainted with the
facts yet not officially connected with
the College.
Has the new charter been CAREFULLY
prepared by the committee appointed
for that purpose-or has it been pre-
pared by or under the direction Of the
few tr' stees mentioned above as 4
Community of Interests!
1t is generally understood that a
new charter is being prepared by a
commission named by the last Legis-
lature, consisting OF the Lieutenant
Governor, Attorney General, and Sec
rotary Of State. No citizen would
publicly question these men and say
they were unduly Influenced
If this latter is the case hadn't the
college better get along on another
temporary charter-while a new COM
mttee prepares a new charter in the
interest OF the State, rather than in
the interest of any trustee. trustees or
other individual?
The charter will be reported to the
present Legislature. Whether it will
be accepted as a permanent charter
or not, remains to be seen. AT any
rate the new charter is to be drawn
by parties not directly interested in
college matters.
Doesn't economy seem to demand
the best charter that can be drawn?
1t is known that the charter COM
mission has spent considerable time
in examining the charters OF other
colleges. There is no doubt but that
it will present to the state the char
ter that is best adapted to the con-
ditions that exist in Delaware.
1t does not seem to be generally
understood, however, that outside OF
the appropriations made by the State
for land and buildings the college is
supported almost entirely by Federal
funds. The Government exactS de-
tailed statement OF how these funds
are spent lnasmuch as the authori-
ties at Washington have never criti-
ciscd the manner in which the trus-
tees have managed the trust that has
been imposed on them, it may be in
ferred that they have lived up to its
spirit as well as the letter OF the law.
So lar as accounting for State APP
preparations, it is evident from the
wording of the acts making such APP
preparations THE receipts Of the
chairman of the trustees OF Delaware

If so, why are all appropriate
over-expended?
When the State appropriates money
to the farm or college is any return
ever made to show il the money was
spent as intended, if not why not?
Does the Board maintain any up-to-
date system Of accounting, separate
ly, for the farm and co.lege-if SO why
is the yearly report not published and
circulated throughout the State?
Acommttee of the trustees approve
all college bills before they are paid.
The Experiment Station bills are pail
upon the approval of the Director
All appropriations are not and rare
ly ever are over expended
The Board maintains separate ac-
counting for all its various appro-
priations, and as required by law the
financial stat ,ment OF the Experiment
Station is published as bulletin each
year.
The College financial statement is
presented to the trustees each year,
but has not been published heretofore.
The statement for the last fiscal year
is now being printed and will soon be
distributed.
Is there any regulation covering
the travels OF the professors or others
outside the State?
If mot, who pays the bills?
Should this matter be regulated?
There are very definite regulations
covering the travels OF college Off
GERS in, as we'll as outside the State
Whenever an officer travels ON bust
ness Tor the college, the college pays
his expenses the same as in any other
well regulated institution.
Why do some people connected with
the college want this new charter to
disturb nothing?
There are but few il any frienls
OF the college that would not like to
see the charter changed in at least
some minor details.
Will the new charter prevent ia
clash OF authority between the presi-
dent OF the college and the director
OF the farm and experimental station?
This is matter concerning which
the charter will have absolutely moth
ing to do, and need not for there
never has been, and it is unlikely that
there ever will be, any clash between
the president OF the college and the
director OF the experiment station.
Is it true that mule was brought
for the farm AMI shipped by express
and afterwards sold for less than the
State paid lor it? II SO, does the
board authorize such operation?
A mute was bought for the college
farm last month, and shipped by
FREIGHT from Baltimore. He
worked hard all summer and is now
at the college farm in better condi-
ton than when purchased
Is it true that favored citizens re-
ceive from the farm stock or anything
else without charge?
The college sarm has distributed
some OF its surplus pure bred male

ing what is known as the Old Board.
The trend of Fourth Street which
by the way, is non-de-plume which
does not hide the author, is against
the representatives of the old Board.
The one reason and only reason they
have more committee appointments
(tnade by State representative by
the way) is because of the associa-
ton, study of needs of the college.
and close application, at great sacri-
flee, Outlines, to the work to be done,
which makes them best fitted. By
showing this interest, by being thor
oughly acquainted with the institu-
ton and by living in or near Newark,
this has made them the best possible
men to appoint on the several COM
mittee to keep in constant touch
with the institution. A representative
of the State has seen the wisdom of

The work required OF these men

INCONSISTENCY
Inconsistency thy name is Roys.

state statute provides against boxing contests
they have been carried on in Tacoma. 1t is mat
ter of opinion to whether boxing contests prize
fights whatever they may be called should be coun
tenanced in any form. There is denying the fact
that thousands of people in Tacoma last night dem
onstrated that they in favor of witnessing such
event. The most rabid anti-fght person
forced to admit that remarkably clean looking set
of men waited outside the place where the bout
to have taken place.
Thousands of these men would demonstrate
against the restricted district of Tacoma. Yet they
were anxious to see two men don the gloves Whether
such affair be good, bad Indifferent there is
lodging of the facts presented last night
The city commission after allowing boxing bouts
to take place suddenly passed resolution which
called for their prevention No word of criticism can
arise when officers to carry out the law pass
resolution to that effect.
considerable amount Of criticism arose over
the fact that the scheduled bout was called off at the
last minute. Scarcely word of condemnation arose
over the fact that the commission drew resolution
which embodied doing away with glove encounters.
1t was the last minute decision that caused
uproar.
Yet the resolution which dispensed with the
fights also dispensed just strongly with the red
light district. But what did the commissioner of
public safety do?
He discovered that he must send all the visitors
to Tacoma away without letting them what they
came for. He decided that Tacoma citizens who find
no wrong in attending glove affair must needs be
turned away because he had been forced into it by
the "other commissioners Roys was to go free
from blame the other commissioners were to take
the blame.
M But-downin the red light district things blazed
away in the same old way And-that resolution
just strong regarding the tenderoin as it was
regarding the fights. Where did Mr. Roys show
consistency? To all intents and purposes he at
tempted political play of ''grandstand' nature
which in it's true light stands a colossal blunder
Hypocrisy is too mild term to be used in con-
nection with Roys' action last night.
