AFFAIRS AT
Old DELAWARE
Reply to Statements Of the
Commission Appointed
by the Legislature
FROM THE POINT OF
VIEW OF TIE CHANGERS

Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Many years Of persistent knocking
at the door of the Trustee Room of
Delaware College has at last brought
a response In the form of two reports
which have been circulated during the
past week. The first is from the treas
urer of the college; the second from a
commission appointed by the General
Assembly, in 1909. TO determine the
legal standing of this institution.
The treasurers report is unique in
one respect viz: Delaware College is
forty years old, during its life it has
drawn upon National and State purses
for a little less than one million of
dollars; and now publishes its first
and only report Of income and eXpen-
ditures: that report covers the fiscal
year 1910.
The commission which made the sec
Ond report consists of the Attorney
General, the Lieutenant Governor and
the Secretary Of State. The tendency
in rural districts is to classify this re-
port also as a college document its
general tone Is claimed to be a suffi-
cieni justification for such a step. rhis
involves no reflection whatever upon
The commission and no illusions TO
family ties, to personal friendship, or
TO college loyalty. The commission
held one public hearing and then un-
dor instruction from the General AS
sembly Of 1903 consulted with the
Trustees Of Delaware College when
ever it so desired. 1t now reports that
critics were few in number and that o
rigid investigation demonstrated that
their criticisms were unfounded.
The critics are therefore driven to
appeal their. case to the General As
sembly and to the public; The treasur-
ers report just published affording
much of the evidence upon which they
depend
The critics oppose the renewal in
perpetual form of the charter TO Del
aware College, which is pending be-
fore the State legislature. The COM
missioners question the authority ol
the General Assembly to enact any
provision inconsistent with that now
existing in naming and electing trus-
tees Of this college and imply that such
change might impair the contracts
between the State and Nation upOT
which the life Of the college depends
They recommend the renewal in per
petual form of the present charter. II

Management of the College.
Some OF the critics have been close
observers OF the college since 1870
They knew 70 when its income from
all sources was less than 500 o per
annum and they know it now when the
collegiate department alone has from
six 20 seven times that income. They
believe that the student body has
Increased prOportionally with the in
come: that is, that the cost per stu
dent head is today comparable with
the cost twenty-five years ago. The
grade Of the college today cannot bo
compared with that of the year 1890;
in this respect tho Improvement has
been gratifying. The impression is
deeply rooted that the policy Of this
college has been dominated for longer
than thirty years very largely by one
family II is admitted that, in times
Of financial stress and strain. this
dominating interest has kept the coll
lego doors open and has made possi-
bic an education which otherwise
would have been denied 10 many a
Delawarean. Opposed to this stands
the claims of the critics that the edu-
cation offered has not been of the
kind contracted for by the State and
tho Nation; that with more farmers.
fewer professional men and fewer
engineers some OF whom cannot find

mendation the commission suggests a
renewal OF the charter for two years
from April Is next and during this in
ternal arranging with the members of
the Old Board of Trustees, for changes
which would in the future empower
the judges upon the Supreme Bench to
fill all vacancies as they occur in the
Board of Trustees This proposition is
quite acceptable to the farmers.
Line OF Attack.
The critics attacked the college trus-
tees along two general lines.
1st. The apparent inability of the
Board to comply strictly with the
State and National contracts covering
Industrial education and the jeopardy
in which indispensable funds are
thereby placed
End Tho flaws in the title TO trust
funds provided by the State and Nation
for Industrial Education
The critics dwell upon the funda-
mental contract entered into by Della
ware and the Federal Government in
1869. One at least OF the vital state
ments Of the commission can apply
only to the contracts of 1888, 1892,
1906 and 1907 No one of which con-
tracts can survive II that of 1869
lapses.
The Contract of 1859 and its 0bserY-
ance by Delaware College Trustees.
The Federal and State laws affecting
this question have been compiled and
interpreted from the viewpoints Of
the commission. In 1906 a much more
complete compilation was circulated
by the Federal Bureau OF Education.
The essential facts are as follows:
During the decade closing with 1872
each State OF the Union contracted
with the Congress of the United States
TO establish and partially equip a col
lege for industrial education. Main
tenance was provided in every case by
the Nation under the enactment of July
2, 1862
Delaware made its contract in 1869
and at once sublet it or else went into
partnership with the trustees OF the
old college at Newark whose building
and five acres of ground had been un-
used since 1859. The State named one
half Of the Board Of Trustees and
granted charter good for 20 years:
this charter it renewed in 1888, and
renewed again in temporary form in
1909 and is now asked to renew in
perpetual form. The commission words
its report so as to imply that the ex-
piration OF a charter period does not
terminate this business relation be-
tween the State and the old Board of
Trustees; it hints. too, that legisla-
tive interference may jeopardize the
existing and vital contracts between
the State and the Nation.
For forty years Delaware College
has not made the teaching of agricul-
ture and the mechanic arts its leading
object and such teaching is the essen.

affairs of the college bad been con-

Similar conditions have actually
terminated several contracts since
1892, notably that of New Hampshire
with Dartmouth College; that Of Rhode
Island with Brown University; that
Of Connecticut with Yale College. and
in modified form. that of Maryland
with College Park In every one OF
these instances new arrangements
have been made under which agricul-
ture and the mechanic arts are now
taught as the leading lines Of study;
the federal authorities have been, and
are in full accord with these changes:
the farmers of those States are much
better satisfied. and many students in
agriculture have been enrolled where
few or none were enrolled before.
The Treasurer's Report.
The statement has been made by
critics, while giving testimony before
the commission, that Delaware College
has not used the money provided by
the Nation in 1863 in maintaining a
college where agriculture and the
mechanic arts are the leading sub
ject OF study. This claim rests upon
evidence covering the entire period of
40 years, but for present purpose and
to meet the assertions OF the commits
sion that such criticisms were without
foundation said critics cite the fiscal
year 1910 and quotes from the Treasur-
er's Report page 30.
