DESTRUCTIVE STORMS

Among the visitors to our town with
in the last ten days was boy from the
Pacific coast who expressed the hope
that he might see some of the electric
storms which he had heard much
about. Nature, according to all the
rules of Delaware hospitality, seems to
have set about gratifying the wish of her
quest with such display of electric
storms as the community has seldom
seen. Between one o'clock Monday
morning and noon Tuesday six separate
storms broke in a fury over this vicin-
ity. Vivid lightning, heavy thunder,
high winds and floods of rain struck
tenor repeatedly to the hearts Of the

COMMENCEMENT
IMPORTANT
CONSIDERATION

The commencement at Delaware this
year will be iIaught with more than US
ual interest. The largest class in the
history of the college will be graduated
on next Wednesday. The institution has
so linked itself with the interests of the
State during the past few years that it
is at last being recognized as one of the
State institutions.
The Board of Trustees at it's meeting
next Tuesday will be one of great i'm
portance and the interest in it's actions
is perhaps more widespread than at any
previous meeting of the board. The
president of the board will be elected to
fill vacancy caused by death of Chief
Justice Lore, who filled that position for
so long. The Vice Presdent-vacancy
caused by the death of Manlove Hayes,
will also be filled.
Aside from the regular routine busi-
ness, the Board will take up the two
new departments created by the last ses-
sion of the Legislature-that of the
Department of History, Political Science
and Economics, to be known as Estate
of Delaware chair of History" and also
the department of Agricultural Exten-
sion in connection with the Expert
ment Station and Farm In both of these
departments lay great possibilities and
the organization and outline of work is
being watched with great interest In
the Agricultural Extension, the Legisla-
ture made sufficient appropriation to
try the experiment for two years. II
successful there is no doubt but that it
will become a permanent institution of
the State. By these two innovations in
Delaware's system of Education, the
farmers of the State have shown a will
lingness to assist the institution along
lines of progress, but as one member of
the Senate said in voting for the bill.
